Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Well, spring has fully arrived, and thankfully the warmer weather is keeping
many of us outdoors.  That is indeed fortunate, as it's very likely that
King County will "roll back" to Phase 2 on Monday (more on this below).

And we have shifted to a new situation when it comes to vaccine
availability.  A few weeks ago, people were desperate to find available
vaccine appointments when demand greatly exceeded the supply.  Now, the
supply is exceeding the demand, despite the fact that only

included more information below on this new vaccine surplus, as well as on a
disturbing new trend of younger people being hospitalized with the virus,
so-called "breakthrough" infections and more.

Also below is some important information for restaurant owners on applying
for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), including an informational
webinar taking place tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

As always, I would like to hear from you. You can call me at 206-477-1004 or
you can reach me by email at jeanne.kohl-welles at kingcounty.gov

All the best and I hope you are staying safe.

COVID AND OTHER UPDATES


Quote of the Day:  "Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." -
Oscar Wilde

 

King County expected to go back to Phase 2

Next Monday, May 3, Governor Inslee will re-evaluate the phases of counties
across the state and we should mentally prepare to move back to Phase 2,
according to Public Health Director Patty Hayes who briefed us at last
Tuesday's Council meeting.  Even with increasing vaccinations, COVID cases
and hospitalizations continue to rise and we need to do everything we can to
stop the spread.  See the articles below for more information.

This is a disturbing trend, perhaps due to "COVID fatigue" and the more
contagious variants that are spreading.  See the following articles:

Get the shot!

I mentioned the growing problem of "vaccine hesitancy" in the last
e-newsletter, although I am hoping the availability of the Johnson & Johnson
vaccine will help address that issue.  The fact is, more vaccines in arms
can speed up our return to more normal times.  See the articles below for
more on a growing surplus of available vaccines and the need to get
vaccinated.

Information on "breakthrough illness" among vaccinated people

While I'm thrilled we have a number of highly effective vaccines available,
no vaccine is "100% effective" and some people will inevitably get infected
with COVID despite having been vaccinated.  This is why precautions are
still needed following vaccination.  See below for more information on
so-called "breakthrough" infections.

pre-pandemic normal. Read more about the new poll findings in this
