petrea_mitchellI'm going to have to come up with a different title for these soon. Both Oregon and the US are going to miss their deadlines to get 70% of adults vaccinated. The South is expected to see another big surge of covid this summer and fall.
Not that everyone has given up. Tiny local clinics are still popping up here and there, trying to reach people who are hesitant, procrastinating, or out of reach of the regular healthcare system. There were signs up at the local Mormon church on Friday advertising a clinic there on Saturday.
On the homefront, we are still working on catching up on regular life. Monday I had my first eye appointment in almost 2 years, and yesterday we went to a specialty shoe store to find new ones that would fit me. I discovered when I switched from biking to MAX to walking every day that the shoes I had weren't so great for walking. I figured to get new ones once the shutdown was over, thinking it would be a few weeks, and we all know how that went.
I still haven't gotten around to getting a haircut yet.
