The vaccination rates for 65+ are pretty astounding. But I may be most gobsmacked at the "at least one dose" for everybody over the age of 5. (And possibly need a refresher on bell curves.) nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Would FURTHER point out that this is proof that die-hard anti-vax people are a tiny but super loud minority and that if we were to say, require proof of at least one shot to fly (exceptions for littles/medical counter-indicators) we'd persuade most holdouts, isolate rest.
.@pbump has a bunch of caveats to the CDC data, but nevertheless, people are getting the shots, and more people would do so if we upped the "price" for not doing so, via flight/interstate travel vaccination requirements washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

1/ saw Rent tonight. Mostly feels entirely contemporary, centering LGBTQ/Black characters; explorations of homeless/drug/AIDS/gentrification…but you know what just fucking killed me?
2/ two couples in their 20s behind me and kid who were talking about how they had *no idea* what show was about before it started (ok fine) and then…in a show about poverty or deprivation…
3/ went on to talks, LOUDLY, about their various cars, and their parents $2M Cupertino mansion, and the Grand piano that nobody plays but for which walls had be moved…
Rich techies, teach your kids to stfu, if only for their own safety omfg.
Who could have seen this coming? Me! Had an insane interaction with him in 2014; when he defended Adrian Peterson’s child abuse, then reversed himself when called out, then attacked and blocked those who pointed this out to him. Sorry this guy was always bad news. Good riddance.
BUT: Compromise, skip the warf zone, go right to Aquatic Park.
Really the best advice about visiting SF is always have layers, never stay near Tenderloin, never leave valuables in a car, skip having a car—walk/transit/ride share—when in the city.
DO: take a ferry, do a @SFCityGuides tour, do visit SalesForce park (and GG/Chrissy Fields obvs), do catch a movie at The Castro, do eat in the neighborhoods, esp the Mission, do go to the Presidio/Ocean Beach…
Which is more unreliable: exit polls or preliminary jobs reports.
So many narratives launched…so many times new data comes in that radically modifies or even reverses the findings, but no matter, the narrative has cemented.
People who really know this stuff know how deeply flawed these mechanisms are, but we keep on structuring reporting and major decisions on it.
At least we have a medium simmer debate about exit/all polls, but no even “grain of salt” provisos are attached to most accounts of jobs reports, just breathlessly announced, with instant confident analysis about what it means….
2/ All my suggestions will meet this criteria. Learn more at @DonorsChoose
3/ First up, an occupational therapist at a Brooklyn school needs a printer to make the materials her speical needs kids especially rely on in COVID times: donorschoose.org/project/printe…
