@eye_aud Burnout is real. I hope your administration recognizes that and is acting appropriately.

I have a family member in nursing who cut their hours out of sheer necessity to stay sane.

Ok, everyone. We're hearing a lot about the disorganized landscape of #COVID #vaccination sign-ups, hotlines, waitlists etc.

Do you have any tips, links, lessons learned, or other resource that may help your fellow Seattleites?

If so, please share in this thread 👇

@loveShepard4eva To be clear, this is not the first case in the US. This is just the first confirmed case of this kind here in Washington.

[Seattle Coronavirus Updates @Seattle2019nCov]

First case of UK #COVID variant (B.1.1.7) has been confirmed in Washington State.

UW Med detected two cases in specimens collected from two Snohomish County residents.

@StephenMcDonell Thank you for your work, @StephenMcDonell

One *very* long year ago.

[Stephen McDonell @StephenMcDonell]

A year ago this week #Wuhan locked down in a warning to the world how deadly & destabilising the #coronavirus would be. Many didn’t heed it. We travelled to #Hubei then & now return to the province with the first #Covid-19 clusters. The road back to Wuhan: https://t.co/mNSZjRuYDK

[Seattle Coronavirus Updates @Seattle2019nCov]

@StephenMcDonell Indeed. Scientific history has been made.
