So, it looks like the COVID-19 emergency is coming to an official end in Washington next month. This doesn’t mean that the disease is over, of course. But with better treatments and better vaccines it isn’t as deadly.
I don’t know if it’s the right call, but I do know that you should wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Hey! By the end of the week, most of us will be able to get the updated Omicron vaccine. This is great news. I would encourage all of you who can to get this vaccine as soon as supplies are available. Let’s keep protecting ourselves and others. Vaccines are the greatest method we have to protect ourselves and our communities from COVID-19. The more people who get vaccinated and boosted, the better we’ll all be.
Tuesday is here, and that means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gathers for an evening of politics and good cheer over drinks. You are invited to stop by.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.

Anyway, it’s pretty rad that kids under 18 are eligible to take public transportation for free from most agencies now. And Washington State Ferries starting in October. It’s really a great thing. Public transportation is a great thing and I love encouraging people to take it.
Anyway, anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

I am heading on vacation. So no more open threads from me this week or part of next. And this one is basically nonsense. I will avoid the heat wave (by being in a different hot place), and hopefully you can too.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

This article about nurses in the region becoming travel nurses has this line after many details “If this sounds unsustainable, it is.” Jeez. The pandemic really showed us what many of the problems with our health care system were in an emergency. And while COVID-19 is still a problem, we’re in a time when we can figure out longer term solutions for our nursing shortage.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for God’s sake, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
More. More abortion friendly policies at the local level. As many people in the article noted, more at the state and county level are good too. More. More. More.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning. I was looking at the Olympic mountains on my walk this morning, and man is there no snow. I feel like in the past it didn’t go away this much. Maybe I am misremembering my youth?
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And if you aren’t vaccinated or boosted, get it already. What are you waiting for?
