Especially since they just vaccinated the teachers in Benton County so my kids can go back to school in the middle of April for two days a week for two hours each day. Like that does any good. Either send the kids back or don’t. 4 hours per week is useless.

There used to be a minimum number of classroom instruction required. |

Yeah, about 85,000 of us in Benton County follow the rules and combined for about 30 Covid cases every two weeks. The other 10K don't care, combined for 200+ cases, and screw it up for the rest of us. I'm very supportive of OSU, academics and athletics, my child went there and I know it's a great thing for our town. But right now it's hard not to be the grumpy old man pissed off a students who apparently don't give a flying f-bomb for anyone other than themselves. My son lives across the street from a frat. not skipping a beat when it comes to parties as far as I can tell. It’s fraternity. You don’t call your country a count. |

Now it's time to loosen up a little. I know what skrimshaw is. But who is he? |

Lane County is much bigger than Benton County, 389,000 to 85,000. Oregon students make up a much smaller percentage of Lane County's population than OSU students do of Benton's. So infections at UO have a much smaller impact on the county's Covid rate than those at OSU do on Benton's. Lane County also has very low infection cities like Florence to help mitigate the higher numbers in Eugene. If you combined Benton and Lincoln counties, a geographic match to Lane County, we'd be in high or moderate as well. My guess is the big jump in OSU numbers was predicated on students getting together to watch the Super Bowl. The number of campus positives dropped considerably two weeks after the game. Just not enough to get us out of extreme. |

Just not enough to get us out of extreme. The big jump was post Christmas break and hasn't really gone down. The OSU community has averaged close to, if not more than, 80% of the positive tests over the past 7 weeks. The rest of the county barely registers. |

Brown has done a great job with the vaccine distribution and getting kids back into school too. 46th or 47th in those as well. Oops, those are from the top. |

Sorry your numbers are wrong, by a long shot. Actually we have used 79% of the doses given us to the Feds, a number which is set to increase substantially soon. That puts us solidly in the middle. Well ahead of Kansas (65); Arkansas (69); Vermont (73) Texas and Georgia (71); Tennessee and Mississippi (67); Maryland (68); Delaware (70); Missouri, Kentucky and Oklahoma (72); Alabama (64) and Nebraska (75), states (except for Delaware) with one thing in common. We are marginally (1%) ahead, equal or behind many other states. Only 10 states have used 80% or more of the doses they received. We can only use the vaccine we've received. And if I'm not mistaken, the decision whether or not to open schools now rests with the local school boards, no longer with the state. Here is a great resource to follow vaccine levels: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/I too have some problems with governor Brown, but it undeniable she and the OHA have kept our state much, much safer than almost everyone. www.beckershospitalreview.com/public-health/us-coronavirus-deaths-by-state-july-1.htmlI think we can all agree we're all suffering from Covid fatigue and wish this sh&& was over. |

You’re right that my numbers are wrong. It has changed quite a bit in a few weeks. According to this Oregon is as you say, solidly in the middle of the pack.

Zero. No commitment to get back in the classroom, hell, not even a plan. Nothing. The data shows there ha e been less Covid deaths as you say, but at what cost? That remains unquantifiable. My company was considered essential, we followed CDC and common sense guidelines, and 250 people kept working and getting a paycheck without missing work. We didn’t have our first case until just before Thanksgiving, and it was contracted outside the company. No spread. Several since then with the same result. If a bunch of construction guys and girls can make it work I question what the heck we were doing elsewhere. Oh well. Your last point is solid and I’m sure unanimously shared by all. |

I would think a big percentage of those unadministered doses must be held for #2 shots, like the one I'm getting this Friday. If you administered 150,000 first shots in early February, you have to be sure you have enough to get those same people their No. 2 shot three or four weeks later.
Until recently, states could not be sure when (or if) they were even getting vaccine, or exactly how much. That has changed recently and they now have a three-week lead time, which has proven very helpful. They can increase the number of No. 1 shots, because they know in three weeks they'll be receiving enough vax to get those people their second shots.
I do not understand why fully-vaccinated fans cannot attend home games. If that were possible it might be extra incentive for some doubters to get vaccinated.
Sounds as if your company has done an outstanding job. Perhaps you could lend some assistance to the students at OSU.

Yes, there are a few hundred thousand doses still in the hopper, but they are needed to make sure those that got their first dose get their second, so there is always going to be a reserve. And that reserve will have to increase in order to meet the second shot needs as they are able to expand the number of people getting their first shots. As someone who gets to wait until last - June 1st ;p, I'm just going to bide my time and miraculously grow 5 years older with 3 co-morbidity issues so I can move up. |

All I know is that Deschutes County has been outstanding in the vaccine process. They get a dose and somebody is getting stuck. The planning for the second doses has been fluid but effective.
