If Pfizer or Moderna get a version(s) +N out, the main remaining issue is crowding of hospitals. Insurers will make adjustments for behavior. Who cares if vaccination increases at that point? > On Sep 20, 2021, at 2:21 PM, uǝlƃ ☤>$ wrote: > > I suppose it depends on the culture wars. As

I suppose it depends on the culture wars. As covid becomes endemic, and the crazies who seem to have enough free time to spend Wednesday afternoons holding anti-mandate signs at the capitol slowly drift on to their next reactionary topic, we may see a steady increase in vaccinations. Hopefully,

The Colorado used to be navigable as far north as Las Vegas (more accurately just below what is now Hoover Dam). Brigham Young used to ship long fiber cotton to mills in Carolinas. So Rio Grande and ABQ might not be quite as silly as it first appears. Davew On Mon, Sep 20, 2021, at 11:03 AM,
