Week 51

I'm late this week. I'm just posting so I won't skip another week, I don't have much to say on the virus.
I did get signed up for my first shot. Nearly went berserk a couple days later when I misheard a news story. It sounded like my vaccination site was closing for good today, days ahead of when I'm supposed to get my first shot. In fact it is a testing site nearby that's closing. With essential workers getting more and more vaccinated, frequent testing isn't quite as in demand.

It's clear that certain parts of the south have been ignoring mask regulations, and that the big news that Texas and Mississippi were abandoning there state wide regulations, maybe frustrating but it just recognizes that too many people in Trump country don't care anymore. Arizona has had no state-wide mask mandate, but has local ones in all the cities. There have been state restrictions on businesses. The governor has talked about letting bars stay open late again. I've never been part of that culture, so I'd just be cruel if I commented on it. I didn't know until this past week that my grocery store still has hours for seniors only. In almost a year I've never been shopping during those hours because I don't like getting up that early, and I'm a morning person!
