2 COVID Vaccines Approved, End to Pandemic in Sight??

[eriehiker]

I called the local health department because the teacher next door to my wife gave Covid to another teacher because she came to work for four days after submitting a Covid test and then tested positive making it 14 positive cases that we know of in the school and clear spread within the school and the district doesn't shut down or show up in the state school outbreak reports. Anyway, the health departments in the state are operating in triage mode. They only concern themselves with people aged 0-20 because there are only five people on staff at the local health department and hundreds of reports they have to deal with every day. The state takes the rest but they appear to have zero capability to follow-up on situations like this one and minimal ability to connect dots across the adult/child divide from local to state. Just based on my phone calls and previous Zoom session with our county health department, they are so starved of resources that I'm not sure that there is any captain of the ship and we can't know if the ship is sinking.
