"Emerson will not transition to a mask-optional policy on Sept. 17, instead extending the college’s requirement that all community members wear a mask indoors indefinitely."
3- "All requests for campus access by non-community members must be approved by the appropriate vice president or dean in consultation with the college’s COVID team."
The open borders people sure seem to like metaphorical walls now. 🤦🏽♂️
4- "The Wednesday afternoon announcement comes amid a statewide resurgence of the virus — Massachusetts reported more than 2,000 coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time in TK amount of months last week."
If only we had a vaccine.
5- "Thus far, Emerson has racked up significantly more positive tests than this time a year ago."
Gosh, what changed? 🤔

There is no way to know who the poor man caught COVID from, yet the widow is railing at the unvaccinated instead of railing at the drug companies for making a crappy product and/or owning her own terrible risk decision (cont).
2- “Gary Keplinger had a rare neurological condition, called myasthenia gravis, which may have made him particularly susceptible to complications from the coronavirus,..”
Heartbreaking but not the fault of unvaccinated people.
3- “But then, in July, they attended a gathering of extended family in a rented hall. It was attended by about 50-75 people, including numerous unvaccinated relatives, Ardith Keplinger said.”
“More than two weeks later, investigators are still confounded by what caused their deaths. Teams in hazmat suits had already combed the area for clues.”
2- "Prof Eran Segal, who advises the Israeli government on Covid matters, said by month five or six after vaccination, people are probably only 30-40% protected, compared with more than 90% when protection first kicks in."
That's ... not good.
3- "Dr Anat Ekka Zohar, who is leading the booster programme study, said three doses were "highly protective, against both infection and severe illness".
She added: "The triple dose is the solution to curbing the current infection outbreak."
1- "I have been fully vaccinated since May 2021, and I just tested positive for Covid-19. I am very symptomatic and not feeling well as I write this piece."
2- "I got infected during our annual family vacation to the shores of South Carolina. In hindsight, I should have known better. And if I had a do-over, I would have cancelled the trip."
Well that inspires vax confidence.
3- "The CDC is also urging those who are vaccinated (like myself) to weigh the risks of travel, something I now wish I did."
