Let’s rewrite that tweet (or perhaps it’s a real headline) to match reality: “Willfully stupid nut jobs, driven by hysterical panic about critical race theory that was programmed into them by right wing propaganda, derail JCPS school board meeting”

San Diego county is now at 68.3% of the eligible population fully vaccinated.

But the vaccination dashboard isn’t working anymore, and we’ll have to wait for the weekly reports to come out on pdf (latest dated one is today.)

re: #17 Dopamine Fish

I should correct that statistic for SD county. The PDF is giving numbers for at least one shot… but I know the dash board was giving different numbers while it worked.

So I’m not sure where the county is now in regards to how many fully vaccinated. It is at least two thirds of eligible people, though, and today’s PDF is likely wrong.

Another report breaks out vaccination rates by zipcode.

To not my surprise, the Je$u$-lovin’ right wing zip codes have lower vaccination rates than the other (majority) areas.

21
Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus  Jun 23, 2021 • 5:57:47pm

The difference in zip-codes is rather striking. I didn’t think it would be so much, but the high-low rage covers almost 30 points.

Nebraska is at 46.9%. The Panhandle is at 31%.

Out here in the Old West we’re still dealing with infrastructure and delivery problems. The east side of the state is more liberal as well.

re: #17 Dopamine Fish

I just checked GA’s numbers. We’re at 35 percent fully vaccinated, 45 percent have had one shot. Georgia gave the go ahead to include 12-17 yr olds in the eligible category, so that could have messed with the latest numbers, I’m not sure. I will say, that once the large state vaccine locations began rolling, it was less than a month before the vaccines were available all over the place. Grocery store pharmacies, the big chain pharmacies, local owned and formulary pharmacies, health departments, most doctors offices, even some urgent care centers had vaccines. There are several senior centers around us that announced they had vaccinated all their employees and residents/day program participants. But it’s Georgia and there are just too many people who need an enemy to fight. It’s the south, I don’t know how you unbreak this hatred of everything liberal/left/etc. I think that is a huge part of what’s holding our vaccine numbers down.

Dopamine Fish  Jun 23, 2021 • 6:09:19pm

re: #31 A Mom Anon

Even as the vaccines were nearing approval under an EUA, Minnesota was one of the top states on the “people willing to be vaccinated” list. Something like 90% of the state said they were either definitely getting the shots, or were likely to. Part of that is due to an amazing job by the Minnesota Department of Health in their messaging, with well-crafted advertisements to encourage people that vaccination was The Way (tm) to get back to anything resembling life as we knew it. It doesn’t hurt that our citizenry is largely well-educated and not science-averse, as in the surrounding states [casts disparaging eyes to the west]

Critical race theory is a lucrative obsession for Republicans because the party is ‘offended by the political focus on racism and racial justice’ (Business Insider)

The GOP campaign against critical race theory, which distorts the concept, is linked to a broader effort to stifle or invalidate conversations on the pervasiveness of racism in the US in relation to its history, experts say. Republicans have launched similar attacks on the Black Lives Matter movement and the 1619 project in that regard.

“The base of the Republican Party is offended by the political focus on racism and racial justice that has been apparent for several years now, but especially since the George Floyd murder,” Andrew Hartman, a history professor at Illinois State University and author of “A War for the Soul of America: A History of the Culture Wars,” told Insider. “So, GOP politicians and conservative media obsess over the issue to gin up outrage that might translate into future votes, but in the meantime definitely translates into donations and ratings.”

Jelani Cobb, a staff writer at the New Yorker, historian, and professor at Columbia Journalism School, in a recent tweet said that the “attacks on critical race theory are clearly an attempt to discredit the literature millions of people sought out last year to understand how George Floyd wound up dead on a street corner.”

The dismal vaccine rate wasn’t inevitable in the South. It’s a product of the drumbeat of the RW media and its constant attacks on the severity of the disease and all policies designed to mitigate its spread; despite that, the RW media could have promoted the necessity for vaccination by emphasizing Trump’s role in funding vaccine development and suggesting that the inoculation would honor him. Why they failed to take that route is a true puzzle, unless their urgent desire to see Biden fail was more important than preserving American lives.

To my northeast (there’s a whole lot of empty around here):

LINCOLN — The Environmental Protection Agency has ordered a Sand Hills rancher and Cherry County to take “immediate steps” to halt and repair damage to a remote Nebraska stream inundated by a deluge of sand and sediment.

The EPA said the Snake River, which hosts canoers and trout fishermen, was transformed from a “deep and narrow” spring-fed creek into a wide and shallow, sandy waterway for about 3 miles after an estimated 1.6 million tons of sand washed into the river.

That’s enough sand to fill an area the size of a football field about 540 feet deep.

The sand and sediment washed into the Snake River after a 2.5-mile ditch was excavated to the river to drain water off a flooded pasture and road.

The sand and sediment are defined as “pollutants” under the federal Clean Water Act, and the sand was deposited into the river without the proper permits.

On June 14, the EPA ordered rancher Dick Minor of Gordon, Nebraska, and Cherry County to take “immediate steps” to stop the ongoing erosion of sand into the Snake River, and to come up with a plan within 60 days to permanently cut off the flow of sediments into the stream, and to restore, “to the extent technically feasible,” the deep channel of the stream.

re: #53 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

Minor said he extended the ditch to the river because there was no other place for the water to drain off his meadow and the county road.

A ditch, shown in this photo taken in September, was dug through the Sand Hills to drain water off a flooded pasture and road. The ditch leads to the Snake River.

“I can’t see that it hurt nothing,” he said. “No one will even see the stuff (sand) in five years.”

That’s one hell of a “ditch.”

Critical Race Theory is where you think that you’ve got enough gas left in the tank to go the last 20 laps at the Indy 500 without ducking in to pit row to top off.

In my county, they will stop at the Mud Creek Pony Express Station near the Village of Dalton (next town south).

Mud Springs Station Archeological District (Wikipedia)

For 20 years, Casey Debus has ridden in the Pony Express Re-Ride, a re-enactment of the Pony Express mail service that lasted 19 months but earned a permanent place in American history.

Debus’ father, Max Cawiezel, had been involved with the National Pony Express Association since it formed in 1977 and rode in the Pony Express Re-Ride each year. One of Debus’ most memorable Pony Express Re-Ride experiences is remembering her dad in a Re-Ride in 1996. That year, the U.S. hosted the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and the Pony Express was part of the torch relay.

“It was the first time the torch was carried via horseback,” Debus said. So riders, like her dad, traveled to Gothenburg, the Pony Express capital of Nebraska, and rode their mile, carrying the Olympic torch. “I remember going down there with my father and watching him and others carry the torch. That was very memorable for me.”

She has also had other memorable moments: Riding in rain storms, riding in the dark, waiting out lightning. She and 15 others will ride on Wednesday as part of the Wyoming state line to Bridgeport leg of the Pony Express Re-Ride as it makes it way through the Panhandle. The Re-Ride is a re-enactment of the Pony Express, which used young men on horseback to deliver mail from 1860 to 1861 along a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California.

Pony Express Re-Ride coming through the valley on Wednesday (Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald)

The trick with this is there is no particular schedule to arrive at different points. The horse and rider get there when they get there.

Plus Pony Express riders have to deal with different conditions than they did in the past.

In the past it was buffalo, Native, the occasional robber, lack of roads, and lack of infrastructure.

Today it’s cattle, barb wire fencing, highways and cars, and lack of infrastructure.

The Pony Express route for some reason doesn’t follow the North Platte River, so water is a problem as well.

re: #60 jaunte

Oh good. More to look forward to. I am not overly educated or savvy about a lot, but it’s really not hard to understand that more vaccines mean fewer outbreaks. And a far smaller chance of these variants/mutations becoming a force to reckon with. Have we always been this damned stupid? All these people whining had a few vaccines before they could even go to school. And we pretty much eradicated polio, smallpox and other diseases by using mass vaccinations. At public schools even. That’s where I got my smallpox vaccine as a kid. I never remember any conflict over this. It was a matter of health and public safety and no one hesitated because it was explained to us clearly why it mattered.

We lack community. Solid, connected, face to face,compassionate community. There’s not much unity in the USA, if there ever really has been. I am questioning everything right now.
