COVID – week 83 – October 11 – October 17

Weekend – positive test for the house member. That’s thoroughly annoying. I’ll save my rant for private.

NZ hosts “vaxathon” – over 2.5% of the population jabbed in a single day.

Cases in Washington State trending downwards.

Friday – Uh oh – a house member has been exposed to COVID through a potentially unvaccinated co-worker. Off to get tested in an abundance of caution.

Thursday – US travel restrictions lifting. Still >40k daily cases in the UK.

Wednesday – Russia >30k cases. Still generally high transmissions around the globe.

Tuesday – Moderna to join Pfizer in approval for booster shots. Mixed boosters also to be considered.

Monday – Cases still dropping in Washington.

This time last year – European wave, looking forward to Thanksgiving being a super-spreader event.
