My understanding is that delta>mu so far but that’s based on what I remember from Twitter follows
Refresh me on the vax rate in this community?
55.7% is fully vaxxed. That’s for Thurston County where one of hospitals is.
The other hospital in that graphic is in the county south of me. That county’s vax rate is 43.1%

Flu shots now available. My recollection from last year is that the smart play is to not get it too early?
Yeah, it doesn’t seem to last for a whole year, more like 6 months or so, so a little later might be better, all else being equal. At the same time, if work hosts a flu shot day or something really convenient, it’s not a big mistake to just get it when it’s easy to.
In an example of how misinformation threatens the nation’s effort to vaccinate enough Americans to get the coronavirus under control, Ms. Centner, who has frequently shared anti-vaccine posts on Facebook, claimed in the letter that “reports have surfaced recently of non-vaccinated people being negatively impacted by interacting with people who have been vaccinated.”
“Even among our own population, we have at least three women with menstrual cycles impacted after having spent time with a vaccinated person,” she wrote, repeating a false claim that vaccinated people can somehow pass the vaccine to others and thereby affect their reproductive systems. (They can do neither.)

Sounds like they should deputize some citizens to sue those women for murdering their babies.

All employers with 100 or more employees would have to require their workers to be vaccinated or undergo at least weekly Covid-19 testing under a new plan by President Biden to curb the spread of the pandemic, senior administration officials said.
The Labor Department in the coming weeks plans to issue an emergency temporary standard implementing the new requirement, which will cover 80 million private-sector workers, officials said. Businesses that don’t comply can face fines of up to $14,000 per violation, they said.
The employers will also have to give workers paid time off to get vaccinated or to recover from any side effects of getting vaccinated.
The new requirement, set to be announced by Mr. Biden in a speech Thursday, is part of a six-point initiative to boost vaccinations, improve access to testing and make Covid-19 treatments more widely available. The heightened push to combat the pandemic comes amid a surge in infections and increase in hospitalizations and deaths.

I think some law bros say that the vaccine needed to be fully approved before it could be mandated in this way, and that only happened a couple weeks ago.

I think specifically the DoD was worried about this, but the administration’s position is that it’s not an issue:
If it’s going to be announced this week, the process of drafting an emergency temporary standard probably started at least a month ago.
This seems like fantastic news.
