Covid-19

They should add:

"All K-12 teachers and staff in Washington state, including public, private and charter school employees, could be fired if they aren't fully vaccinated against the non-dominant strain of COVID-19 by Oct. 18."

no idea what you're trying to say here

Seems silly to mandate teachers to get a vaccine that doesn't prevent the spread of the dominant strain.

If you are vaccinated you are less likely to contract the virus. If you don't contract the virus, you are less likely to spread it to others.

You are less likely to catch Delta? Do you have a link?

And wasn't it you who posted the link that vaccinated people who were symptomatic has shorter periods of high viral loads? One would think that would also be correlated with being less likely to spread disease.

It's basically the same in the first 5-6 days which is when you are most likely to spread.

Vaccinated people have viral loads just drop off quicker after that:

Right, not what I was thinking of. Even in that study, though, the people with the high viral loads are older, etc. There's plenty of compelling evidence as to why teachers should be vaccinated.

The city of Orlando and its water utility made an urgent appeal Friday afternoon for residents to cut back sharply on water usage for weeks because of a pandemic-triggered shortage of liquid oxygen used to purify water.

If commercial and residential customers are unable to reduce water usage quickly and sufficiently, Orlando Utilities Commission may issue a system-wide alert for boiling water needed for drinking and cooking. Without reductions in water usage, a boil-water alert would come within a week, utility officials said.

Perfectly normal. Nothing to see here.

I mean, the state is already actively working against mask mandates. Why not stop monitoring water quality? Everyone should have the freedom to decide how they want their own water treated.

Simple enough solution:

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer asked residents to immediately stop watering their lawns, washing their cars and using pressure washers. Landscape irrigation consumes about 40% of the water provided by OUC.

“It’s a pretty simple thing that we are asking our residential customers,” Dyer said. “Let’s just not water your yard for a week. In all likelihood there will be thunderstorms during the week anyway.
