Fuck that and fuck them in the ass with a big, barbed-wire wrapped wooden dick. I do as I please.
Here's someone else who needs that wire-wrapped dick up his ass - Moreno, the "health director" of the county I live in. Today's latest bullshit...
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE
December 15, 2020, 4:52 p.m.
MORENO SAYS 'VACCINES FOR GENERAL PUBLIC MAY BE AVAILABLE BY EARLY SUMMER"
• County's cases continue to surge
In a statement released late this afternoon, Monterey County Health Officer Dr. Ed Moreno called it a "tremendous accomplishment" that vaccines to stop the coronavirus from spreading have been developed "just one year after this virus first emerged." (Suck my balls, Moreno. - JS
)
The first doses are being administered now, in conformance with state and federal guidelines, he said, to some of the Greater Bay Area's "nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients." He said the next group to be inoculated would include "those living in skilled nursing facilities and other settings where elderly, vulnerable members of our communities are more likely to have severe illness and die from Covid-19." (I don't give a fuck, still not getting the vaccine. - JS)
But he also said vaccines for the "general public" may not be available until "early summer," and he warned that until they come into widespread use it will be important for everyone to "continue wearing face coverings, avoiding gatherings, postponing travel, and staying home whenever possible." (Fuck you, bitch. - JS)
"The first batches of vaccine will protect those individuals at highest risk of infection and serious illness. As more vaccine becomes available in the months ahead, each of us must continue to do our part to reduce the spread of Covid-19," added Moreno,
whose statement was issued jointly with other county health officers from the Bay Area.
CHOMP CREATES WEBSITE WITH VACCINE INFO
Additional information about vaccine distribution on the Monterey Peninsula will be available on a new website created by CHOMP to help meet what the public sees as an urgent need for the latest information.
"We are getting a lot of calls and questions regarding the Covid-19 vaccine," hospital spokesperson Monica Sciuto said this morning. "As many of you know, we are still awaiting the vaccine and are hoping for its receipt by the end of the week."
Since the supply is very limited at this time, she said, "The federal and state governments have developed a phased system to guide who should be vaccinated first, with the focus on vaccinating healthcare workers and long-term care residents, based on who is at the highest risk of becoming infected or severely ill."
She said CHOMP anticipates getting a small supply of vaccine in the first allocation, and, following state guidance, "will be vaccinating staff and medical staff members according to their risk."
To keep up with the latest vaccine news at CHOMP, she urged everyone to check the hospital's new
new website devoted to the coronavirus vaccine on a regular basis. CHOMP also has a website for
more general information about the coronavirus. (I don't fucking care. Eat me, - JS)
COUNTY'S CASES CONTINUE TO SURGE
Highlighting the urgent need for the vaccines to start becoming widely available here, Monterey County's coronavirus cases have continued to grow rapidly, with 295 new cases reported today by the health department. Of those, 233 were in Salinas and the Salinas Valley and 31 were on the Monterey Peninsula, including 12 in Marina, nine in Seaside, 5 in Monterey, 4 in Pacific Grove, one in Carmel Valley and none in Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel area (93923), or Pebble Beach.
Hospitalizations have continued to grow, as well. CHOMP says it now has a total of 35 coronavirus-positive inpatients, including 10 in the ICU, with only one ICU bed open. SVMH says it has 43 coronavirus-infected inpatients, an increase 26 percent from last week. Countywide, there are
25 ICU patients with Covid-19 and 16 available ICU beds, according to the California Department of Public Health.

@Fanatical Pragmatist - Why don't these "ethicists" put their money where their mouths are and off themselves? Believe we would all be mighty grateful if that happened.
