    Re: summer concert being cancelled due to covid— is there a spike occurring currently? Health databases are reporting low levels so I’m wondering if I’m missing something.

      Covid is still with us and will be probably forever. Infections are increasing currently. Given the fragile population at the Mount cancelling the concert is wise. I caught covid for the first time in February. It is not to be dismissed as a mere summer cold. I was wiped out for two weeks and am still slightly weak. My Dr told me I merely had a “mild” case because I did not need to be hospitalized. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/got-the-sniffles-heres-what-to-know-about-summer-colds-and-the-covid-19-variant-called-stratus/

      Long term care is still under extreme regulation with COVID guidelines. If the mount were to have a COVID outbreak which the health dept considers 2 or more cases in their ENTIRE population they could have to suspend admissions, discourage visitation, cancel activities and dining. COVID is still incredibly impactful on long term care communities.

      Cases aren’t being reported, that is why the data looks low. Covid is having a bit of a spike in the community as well as in hospitals.

Sorry, comment time is over.
