Jess got her 2nd-dose of the Pfizer vaccine just over two weeks ago. So she is now considered to be fully vaccinated. Alameda County still has not moved to the yellow tier yet, but that’s apparently not going to matter anymore. Despite most of the state still being in the orange tier, California is dropping almost all restrictions on June 15. So I guess that will be the end of our stay-at-home orders which have been in effect for 442 days so far.
According to the CDC’s data, California is doing the best in the nation for 7-day case-rate per 100,000 right now–substantially better; so that’s really nice to see. California has a rate of 10.2 cases per 100,000 over the past 7 days. The worst states in the country are Colorado (92.3) and Washington (90.2).
We had friends over this past weekend, inside the house to hang out, for the first time since this started.
The Lab is starting to put together a plan to bring people back on site. They’re planning to phase people in throughout the summer rather than just saying, “okay, back to work now.”
We booked a beach trip in August with the expectation that things will stay under control. The only weekend the hotel we like to visit in Fort Bragg had any availability was the 2nd-to-last weekend before school starts again. Everyone wants to get out and do stuff again, so everything is booked everywhere. That’s going to make trying to do anything difficult for awhile.
