The Panhandle Public Health District changed their signup for the Covid-19 vaccine to age 65+ or someone with the high risk factors that have been noted by researchers.

So I went to sign my wife up (she’s already said she wants it when it is available), but the radio button on the Website does not work (there is no link).

Right about that time, the VA clinic in Sidney called to give me some information about an upcoming visit I have at the civilian hospital in Scottsbluff. Since the NP is also my neighbour and our village health board leader, I asked her about the PPHD Website.

She said she’s been fielding questions about the site not working all day, and has no information on when PPHD might get this fixed (and that isn’t her job as a VA nurse).

Updates are at 1500 MST and 1700 MST, but from the first update we’ve topped eight thousand cases here now (8,057). Deaths have also climbed to 156.

Women and “unknown” are still stubbornly 2/3 of all cases.

I am still amazed the same three villages have had no cases since this started. I confirmed that with the VA nurse that my town hasn’t had a case.
