1. Unvaccinated Missourians fuel COVID: 'We will be the canary'
  
  from AP NEWS
  
  KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — As the U.S. emerges from the COVID-19 crisis, Missouri is becoming a cautionary tale for the rest of the country: It is seeing an alarming rise in cases because of a combination of the fast-spreading delta variant and stubborn resistance among many people to getting vaccinated.

I still don't understand how political beliefs got tangled up in #COVID-19 restrictions and vaccines. If there's a virus that can kill me being rapidly spread by people before they even know they have it, I'm not waiting for pollies to decide whether I should avoid exposure, even if there was a politician I liked.

Studying the origins of #SARS-CoV-2 and the #COVID-19 outbreak.

> The virus that caused the pandemic is known officially as SARS-CoV-2, but can be called SARS2 for short. As many people know, there are two main theories about its origin. One is that it jumped naturally from wildlife to people. The other is that the virus was under study in a lab, from which it escaped. It matters a great deal which is the case if we hope to prevent a second such occurrence.

> I’ll describe the two theories, explain why each is plausible, and then ask which provides the better explanation of the available facts. It’s important to note that so far there is no direct evidence for either theory. Each depends on a set of reasonable conjectures but so far lacks proof. So I have only clues, not conclusions, to offer. But those clues point in a specific direction. And having inferred that direction, I’m going to delineate some of the strands in this tangled skein of disaster.

Remember when the #GA governor forbade Atlanta and surrounding cities from enforcing #COVID-19 restrictions except what the state itself instituted?

Someone working in #AZ told me their governor is doing the same thing. (Well, I'm not sure whether my contact meant restrictions or actively seeking to vaccinate people. It was a short conversation.)

I admit that it does bother me a little when experts are very sure of something that they have no way of knowing. It is okay to say that we do not really know where #SARS-CoV-2 came from and thus do not know how the #COVID-19 outbreak started.

USians: if you've completed your #COVID-19 vaccine, you should sign up at vsafe.cdc.gov. They ask for some info, then send you regular text messages linking a short health survey, so they can track any reactions you have over the next six? weeks.
