UT released numbers for covid infections at one of their medical centers.  They looked at how many people got infected in not vaccinated, partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated popuations.  234 out of 8969 of the non vaccinated employees tested positive for covid, 112 out of 6144 of the partially vaccinated tested positive and 4 out of 8121 of the fully vaccinated tested positive.  1 dose helps, 2 doses help a whole lot.  A second dose is a really really good idea.

I think the last time my parents hugged me was 1982 or so.  Pretty sure that wasn't covid related.  :)

The only living being on this planet I have hugged during the pandemic is my little brother’s dog.  I last hugged a human on March 5, 2020.

Over the last year I had opportunities every day to hug my mom except our relationship is complicated.  I did give her a back rub when she got her second dose.

I had a similar relationship w/my parents until I moved across the country shortly after getting married.  Odd how moving 2,250 miles away can do for a relationship (having grandkids also radically changed the dynamic: like, they kinda became totally different people when grand babies entered the picture, Bill Cosby was 100% correct about that one)

California will allow indoor live events and performances to resume with limitations this month, the latest rules to be relaxed amid declining COVID-19 case rates and continuing vaccinations.

I mostly really like these guidelines (though they do still seem more on the conservative side), especially the incentives for businesses to prioritize vaccinations.  I honestly think if big, popular places/events require vaccinations (not so much testing, because all that means is you didn't have COVID at that moment of testing) more of the 25% who say they're against vaccinating would get on board.  Like, say, The Padres/MLB announced that they would go to full capacity BUT would only allow attendees who have been fully vaccinated: I think that type of policy, applied broadly nationwide, would help the country. 
I get that's a slippery slope, but at this point I don't care: in CA kids need proof of vaccination to enroll in school, and as a teacher I have to get TB tests every couple years, so I don't see much of a problem.

I'll be curious to see what these guidelines look like heading into summer, presuming CA continues to kick ass with vaccination distribution & keep cases down

CA Governor Newsome said today (or yesterday?) that San Diego is the best county in the state for vaccinations!

I got my 2nd shot this afternoon.  It was MUCH more crowded for vaccinations than it was a month ago, though that's not too surprising.  I was about 15 minutes early this time, and after waiting a bit to check-in I was still called about 5 minutes earlier than my scheduled appointment (at the CVS in Poway once you check-in and get your card updated, you don't have to wait in a line for your shot: you merely just have to wait to get your name called, so sit down instead of waiting in a 2nd line  ;) ).  This time I was a bit more nervous, though the nurse was amazing and the shot was LESS painful to administer than the 1st.  It's taken about an hour before my arm started feeling a little sore, but now I'm off to the races.
Luckily I have a laid back weekend, so I'm not missing anything if I crash for a day or two.

Two more weeks and I'm back at the movie theater and baseball park again!!!
(and also, a MUCH needed haircut, as I'm moving into month 14 since my last)

No second "e" in "Newsom." (No offense, I just see an extra "e" so often that it has become a pet peeve of mine.)

I just got back from my trip back east.
The comparison between flying over thanksgiving and last week was palpable, just night and day. Over Thanksgiving it was scary, there was a sense of dread in the air. This week it was almost joyful. Everyone was wearing masks both times.

Oddly, my mom is still reluctant to leave the house despite being fully vaccinated. I had to make a concerted effort to get her to just walk to the Doc's (a block away) or come with me & my dad to drop me off at the airport.

i get my second shot in 10 days.

Make sure you've scheduled some downtime the day after...I didn't think it'd affect me that much, but whoa.
