Itās so crazy to me there are places in the US doing this, when in many others covid doesnāt exist except for the people in the hospital and some masks (sometimes).
Literally nothing is closed anymore except the dining rooms of large fast food chains. Mask compliance is way lower than even a month ago. Vaccines are available at walmart walk in, no wait, because anyone who wants one has one, and now they are desperately trying to get more people to get it.

How is your area doing with vaccination coverage?
Seattle/King County has hit 70% first shot coverage and close to 40% both shots. They are predicting herd immunity levels for us by the end of May. We may drop back to level 2 from level 3 restrictions due to increasing cases and hospitalizations, though.
Iām just so thankful we never had an India-like explosion here, though. Canāt imagine how scary that must be for people and their familiesā¦

This is us too. The school board just decided masks will be optional starting with summer school. Lots and lots of people out and out with no masks. New cases between 30 and 50 a day in my county of 260k. Maddening.

Youāre a good egg, this thought didnāt even occur to me that I could donate to help vaccinations get distributed in other countries. Thank you!

Got my second Pfizer dose yesterday. The only symptom is a slightly sore arm when I woke up this morning but nothing Tylenol canāt fix. I listened to a This American Life episode on the ride home from the vaccination site and the last act made me a bit more hopeful about my stubborn anti-vaxx pro-Trump family membersā¦

The Cherokee Nation has opened up their vaccination centers to everyone for appointments. It says āregardless of where they liveā so I guess even Canadians can go!

This is an ongoing google sheet of mutual aid and donation resources for india:
