This also has some useful information kqed.org/news/11906215/…

For example says diabetics are at higher risk even when fully vaccinated "Garza-Silva, who is immunocompromised, and Liber, who is diabetic, are among the millions of Californians at greater risk of complications from a COVID-19 infection despite being fully vaccinated."

Well, in case you missed it. Two weeks ago I posted about the disastrous and dangerous and incompetent new University of California pharmacy benefits "system" which warned me, two months after the fact, that they were cutting off coverage of my insulin 1/n

https://twitter.com/phylogenomics/status/1500934973775249412

This was, well, quite stressful and really poorly handled by UC. And the pharmacy benefits provider they had switched to - Navitus - was a true and epic disaster in many ways. 2/n

Clearly, this touched a nerve and 100s of people shared stories of how they were also harmed by the new UC system as well as by other switches in pharmacy benefits in their systems. 3/n

@UofCalifornia

Dear @UofCalifornia @ucdavis

This is NOT OK.

I just got a notice by letter in mail that my insurance will no longer cover the insulin I have been getting "as of January 1, 2022". Letter was dated in February and was received after March 1, 2022.

This is NOT OK.

Although I do have a grace period to get the insulin at my old price until March 31, 2022. It would have been nice to have been told about this before 3/1.

This is NOT OK either.

@ucdavis

I mean - look at this - it is dated feb 14 and I did not get it until past 3/1 and it says changes are coming in January - two months in the past - fucking ridiculous @ucdavis @ucalifornia @UC_Newsroom

Here is another panorama (about the same time, slightly different view spot)

New Newsweek article by @NedPotter_ and @fredguterl on #COVID "The Forever Virus: What Science Says About the Future of COVID" w/ comments by me and others newsweek.com/2022/02/04/for… 1/n

As I am quoted in the article, I disagree with those (e.g., Ewald) who claim that #SarsCOV2 is attenuating before our very eyes and also that that is something we expect to happen. 2/n

I also call into question claims of some that somehow the spread of Omicron will suppress the evolution of new variants. That seems to be based on hope and not science. There is no reason to expect new variants will not arise and spread and some of these could be much worse 3/n

1. Last week I had two doctor's appointments in Sacramento in the AM. And then a 2 hour Zoom from 10-12. I decided it would be nice to do the Zoom while in some scenic spot & I remembered I had seen reported of a pretty rare bird at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery close to where I was

2. I don't normally chase reported birds - just not my thing really - but I had to find somewhere to go and I do read some of the rare bird reports so I headed off to So after my second appointment I zipped on over to the Nimbus Fish Hatchery. wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Hatche…

3. I got there, connected to the Zoom on my phone and AirPods, video off, said hi, got out a battery backup charger, and got out of my car. Now, I was not there JUST to try and find the rare "long tailed duck" but figured I would look for it.
