HELLO, TGIF
Vaccine is available at multiple places and some don’t ask many questions. (Look up CVS on the net?)
Area G is swarming with Delta Virus which included many, many carriers without symptoms. So far, hospital beds are available. This situation will get tighter with school starting without masks.
The Texas Supreme Court will allow mask mandates in school districts to remain
NYT DAILY TRCKER 20 AUGUST: (NEW CASES DAILY/100,000 POPULATION)
J. Harris: Should I quit picking on SD? Despite Sturgis and the motorcycles, most counties in Texas have more Covid that the entire state of SD. Of course, the bikers have spread out and headed home. SD also have a very high vaccination rate.
FROM HOPKINS:
1. Decades-old SARS Virus Infection Triggers Potent Response to COVID Vaccines (Nature) People who were infected almost two decades ago with the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) generate a powerful antibody response after being vaccinated against COVID-19. Their immune systems can fight off multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, as well as related coronaviruses found in bats and pangolins. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the sarbecovirus group of coronaviruses, which includes the virus that caused SARS (called SARS-CoV), as well as closely related bat and pangolin coronaviruses. Sarbecoviruses can jump from animals to humans, as they did before in both the current pandemic and the 2002–04 outbreak of SARS, which spread to 29 countries.
Have a nice weekend. I won’t bother you with mailouts or with chit chat about Milton’s struggles.

Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think “That can’t be accurate?”
