Description
Health Director Stacie Saunders gave a COVID-19 Community Update to the Board of Commissioners on their Tuesday, Jan. 4 Briefing. During the Commissioners Regular Meeting which took place after the Briefing, the Board voted to extend the face covering requirement for Buncombe County to February 16.

Additionally,
the
percent
positivity
has
increased
to
13.7
as
of
yesterday.
This
is
also
a
significant
increase
from
just
one
month
ago,
when
I
presented
to
you
all
last
when
the
percent
positivity
was
about
6.6,
our
death
rate
saw
a
decline
in
the
last
week,
but
remains
very
high,
with
four
additional
deaths.
A
Added
also
trebling
is
our
steadily
increasing
hospitalizations
dr
bill
hathaway
is
joining
me
today
and
will
provide
more
insight
on
the
impact
of
our
current
surge
on
local
hospitals.
But
in
short,
the
percent
of
inpatient
beds
occupied
by
cova
19,
is
increasing
and
is
now
close
to
10
percent,
which
would
be
that
warning
zone.
A
I
am
going
to
show
you
the
epi
curve
and
go
back
to
the
previous
statement
and
discuss
it
a
little
bit
in
the
context
of
this
epidemiological
history
and
what
you're
seeing
right
now
is
the
hour
buncombe
county
covered
19
story
in
peaks
and
valleys
since
march
of
2020..
Our
current
surge
is
at
the
far
end.
A
You
can
also
see
that
precipitous
rise
in
cases
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
with
the
week
prior
being
the
most
significant
so
far
that
that
far
end
epi
curve
was
already
looking
fairly
steep
in
its
incline
in
the
last
couple
weeks
that
has
just
exponentially
increased.
As
you
can
see
there,
this
surge
appears
to
be
dwarfing
any
of
those
of
the
january
2021
and
the
delta
surges.
In
comparison,
it's
also
happening
very
quickly
and
spreading
very
rapidly.
D
A
Seeing
it
tremendously
more,
I
will
say
that
the
north
carolina
department
of
health
and
human
services,
respiratory
report
that
shows
the
sequencing
it's
about
a
week
behind
or
so
and
its
most
current
week,
I
believe,
was
like
december,
maybe
11th
or
mid
december.
It
was
still
only
showing
less
than
15
percent.
I
believe
omicron.
I
suspect
that
when
we
see
the
respiratory
report
update
this
week
and
and
into
the
next
week
that
we'll
see
it
much
more
considerably
the
burden
of
cova
cases
at
this
point.
A
I
am
recommending
that
the
face
covering
requirement
be
extended
to
no
less
than
february
9th
and
strongly
recommend
that
it
be
extended
until
february
23rd,
as
I've
said
before,
there
may
be
a
day
in
the
near
future,
when
we
can
tolerate
higher
case
rates
and
move
to
general
public
recommendations,
particularly
when
our
at-home
therapeutics
are
more
readily
available
and
greater
supply,
so
that
we
can
keep
more
people
out
of
the
hospital.
But
that
day
is
not
today.
A
A
and
buncombe
county
hhs
has
supported
the
school
nursing
leadership
and
team
in
implementing
these
testing
initiatives
that
are
then,
coupled
with
the
north
carolina
department
of
health
and
human
services.
Strong
schools
toolkit
to
ensure
our
learning
environments
are
safe
and
as
healthy
as
they
can
be,
so
that
our
children
can
remain
in
in-person.
Learning,
which
we
know
is
not
only
beneficial
for
their
intellectual
growth,
but
also
their
social
and
emotional
health.
A
Additionally,
our
community
is
fortunate
to
have
community
health
worker
programs
that
provide
support
education
and
linkages
to
cover
19
resources,
including
testing
and
vaccine
in
our
communities.
The
community
health
worker
groups
are
very
similar
to
the
community
ambassador
programs
that
commissioner
wills
shared
with
me
earlier
in
the
week
in
our
community.
We
have
groups
like
ifa,
which
is
the
institute
for
preventive
health
care
and
advocacy,
led
by
kathy
avery,
unedi
and
healthier
together,
who
all
utilize
the
talents
and
skills
of
community
health
workers
and
all
these
groups
have.
A
Ifa
has
routinely
visited
communities
throughout
buncombe
county,
going
door
to
door
to
one
listen
to
the
concerns
to
provide
accurate
and
trusted
information
by
those
community
health
workers
who
are
a
part
of
the
community
in
which
they
work
and
three
connect
individuals
to
services
like
testing
and
vaccination,
specifically,
if
has
provided
approximately
400
at-home
rapid
tests
to
members
of
the
community,
and
just
while,
I'm
mentioning
the
work
of
the
community
health
workers.
Another
example,
this
time
on
the
vaccine
side,
healthier
together,
was
instrumental
in
the
biltmore
church
vaccine
outreach
collaborate.
A
Collaboration
with
the
mexican
consulate
that
occurred
in
october,
healthier
together,
worked
with
latinx
communities
to
get
the
word
out
about
the
importance
of
vaccine
provided
those
communities
with
accurate
information
about
the
vaccine
and
worked
with
buncombe
county
hhs
to
provide
a
welcoming
and
accessible
space
for
a
four-day
event
in
which
for
community
members
to
receive
their
vaccine.
So
many
thanks
to
the
numerous
community
health
workers
within
our
county
and
many
of
whom
have
worked
up
throughout
our
region
to
provide
those
services.
A
And
just
to
briefly
tell
you
about
some
new
testing
initiatives
that
are
on
the
horizon
for
buncombe
county
buncombe.
County
hhs
is
building
off
that
model
of
the
community
health
workers
and
purchasing
a
supply
of
rapid
at-home
test
kits
for
community
distribution
staff
is
currently
working
to
have
tests
hopefully
arrive
next
week.
This
will
heavily
be
dependent
on
vendor
supply,
which
has
changed
quite
quite
a
lot
in
the
last
week
or
so.
A
We
plan
to
work
with
our
existing
partners
in
communities
to
have
rapid
tests
available
in
their
locations
for
distribution
and
pick
up
by
community
members.
Locations
may
include
community
centers
throughout
the
county,
fire
departments,
homeless,
shelters,
libraries,
churches,
even
at
some
of
our
vaccine
events
and
again
with
our
community
health
workers.
So
details
about
that
initiative
will
be
finalized
upon
the
receipt
of
those
test
kits
and
dependent
on
the
quantity
in
which
we
actually
get
to
receive.
A
So
I
just
did
want
to
mention
that
for
folks
who
are
already
utilizing
at
home
rapid
testing,
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
those
tests
are
heavily
relying
on
you
getting
a
good
sample.
So
please
follow
those
directions
closely
and
also
that
rapid
antigen
at
home
tests
are
most
accurate.
When
viral
load
is
higher
and
when
symptoms
are
present,
they
can
be
less
accurate
for
those
who
do
not
have
any
symptoms
or
have
lower
viral
loads.
A
So
this
is
why
most
typically
we're
using
them
for
those
who
are
experiencing
symptoms
or
are
known
to
have
a
confirmed
exposure
to
a
positive
case
and
then.
Lastly,
I
did
want
to
mention
that
there
are
opportunities
for
additional
testing
surge
resources
with
fema
and
north
carolina
department
of
health
and
human
services,
both
of
which
I
have
submitted.
Proposals
for
and
those
are
pending,
and
those
would
be
not
just
for
buncombe
county,
but
would
help
service
other
surrounding
areas
as
well.
A
And
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
vaccine
and
I'm
going
to
go
pretty
quickly
through
this
when
I
last
presented,
buncombe
county
was
getting
ready
to
wrap
up
our
pediatric
vaccine
events
and
we
completed
our
saturday
at
school
events
prior
to
the
public
school
release
for
winter
break,
between
buncombe,
county
hhs
and
mayheck
and
fema
partners.
We
administered
over
1200
doses
of
vaccine
with
this
campaign.
A
Additionally,
we
see
our
adolescent
population
catching
up
with
our
18
to
24
year
olds
and
soon
approaching
60
percent,
our
populations
that
are
25
years
and
older
are
all
now
reached
70
or
more
again,
with
our
65
and
75
and
older
population
having
the
highest
rates
overall,
71
percent
of
our
eligible
population.
That's
five
and
up
have
received
one
dose
of
vaccine
and
68
percent
of
the
eligible
population
has
been
fully
vaccinated.
A
There
we
go
so
future
vaccine
planning,
so
what's
on
the
horizon,
knowing
that
we
do
still
have
some
work
to
do
in
helping
folks
get
to
their
booster
status,
our
future
efforts
will
be
focused
on
giving
the
new
year
boost
focus
campaigns
on
boosters
and
revising
revamping
regional
messaging
to
inform,
encourage
and
remind
people
about
their
boosters.
Additionally,
we
are
already
doing
early
planning
for
the
adolescent
boosters.
Just
this
week,
fda
has
authorized
boosters
for
12
to
15
year
olds.
However,
remember
that's
a
multi-step
process.
The
cdc
has
not
provided
their
recommendation
at
this
time.
A
So
we
continually
have
been
going
out
to
the
long-term
care
facilities
who
needed
support
for
vaccine.
I
can
get
those
numbers
for
you.
I
don't
have
them
with
me
today
about
what
number
that
we've
done,
that
we're
boosters
for
that
and
then
what
we
found
is
many
of
the
large.
The
large
long-term
care
facilities
have
taken
care
of
that
through
either
commercial
partners
or
through
their
own
staffing.
A
A
There
are
just
some
key
things
right
now,
with
omicron
spreading,
essentially
like
wildfire
that
I
want
folks
to
remember,
and
these
are
get
vaccinated,
get
boosted
when
eligible
get
tested,
if
exposed
or
experiencing
symptoms,
get
your
face
covering
and
wear
it
when
you
are
in
indoor
public
spaces,
get
some
distance
between
you
and
others
and
get
those
hands
clean,
sanitize
and
wash
them.
Often.
A
D
B
D
A
I'll
tell
you
about
what
we're
doing
so
far
and
then
allow
county
manager
pender
to
weigh
in
so
we
do
have
funds
through
an
agreement
agenda,
an
elc
which
is
just
that
expanded
testing
protocols
and
funding
that
is
aa543
that
will
allow
us
to
purchase,
and
so
we
we
have
funds
that
can
purchase
up
to
5000
right
now.
We
did
want
to
limit
that
to
a
limited
supply
at
first
until
we
see
how
quickly
they
get
distributed,
how
quickly
they
get
picked
up.
There's
a
there's
potential
for
us
to
use
more
of
those
funds.
E
I
can
ask
the
question:
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
heard
that
correctly.
So
at
this
time
you
believe
the
county
has
resources
to
purchase
additional
tests
and
that
wouldn't
need
to
come
out
of
the
coveted
response
funding
that
the
commission
has
approved
from
the
recovery
act.
Funding
is
that
am
I
hearing
you
correctly.
That's.
A
F
G
To
parker's
question
so
in
the
event
that
that
money
expires,
we
do
have
that
million
dollars
that
you
guys
allocated
from
arpa.
We
have
used
some
of
that
already,
though,
but
there's
still
money
there
that
we
could
use
to
buy
additional,
but
the
reason
why
I
asked
dc
to
only
do
5000
at
this
point
is
the
state
and
the
federal
opportunities
that
are
going
to
be
sending
us
testing.
So
my
goal
was:
this:
is
a
bridge,
it's
how
I
was
framing
it.
G
A
Thank
you
for
that
reminder.
That's
correct
that
there
there
are
two
other
avenues
that
we
will
be
learning
more
information
about,
one,
the
federal
avenue
to
get
at-home
tests
to
americans
at
their
home.
More
details
are
going
to
be
coming
about
like
what
are
the
real
logistics
about
that.
How
do
people
get
them
and
then,
through
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
here
in
north
carolina?
We
do
already
have
some
avenues
for
folks
to
get
at
home
testing
collection
kits.
A
That
then
are
sent
off
and
have
a
fairly
quick
turnaround,
but
also
there
is
a
movement
to
get
at
home.
Rapid
tests
like
the
antigen
test
that
we're
ordering
at
a
state
level
too,
that
local
health
departments
could
order
a
supply
of
as
well.
So
this
is
this:
is
that
bridge
until
we
learn
more
about
what
those
two
programs
may
or
may
not
be
able
to
do.
D
Okay,
I
guess
last
question
about
kind
of
shifting
a
question
to
pcr
test
capacity.
I've
been
trying
to
find
this.
You
know
in
other
places
in
the
country
like
dc
or
new
york,
where
omicron
is
kind
of
spread
it
faster
ahead
of
us.
I
can't
tell
if
there's
generally
enough
capacity,
if
there's
if
these
labs
are
running
out
of
the
ability
to
to
test
this,
many
individuals.
A
That's
a
great
question,
and
so
over
the
last
two
years
we
have
built
not
just
in
north
carolina
but
nationwide
laboratory
capacity
for
this,
and
so
what
I
think
you're
seeing
now
is
not
necessarily
a
lack
of
capacity.
It
is
that
the
demand
is
so
high
because
of
how
quickly
omicron
is
spreading
right
now
that
just
the
sheer
numbers
at
this
point
are
just
so
large
and
because
of
you
know,
we're
almost
at
700
cases
per
100
000
per
week.
A
We've
never
seen
a
number
like
that
in
the
time
that
I've
been
recording
data
for
for.
For
us,
that
alone
means
that
there
are
probably
many
more
cases
that
are
not
being
reported
right,
and
so
we
just
have
so
much
spread
right
now,
and
so
what
you're
seeing
is?
I
don't
think
what
you're
seeing
is
necessarily
a
lack
of
capacity,
because
that
has
grown
leaps
and
bounds
and
at
the
governor's
briefing
two
two
briefings
ago,
they
mentioned
like
how
large
they
had
had
grown,
that
north
carolina
lab
capacity.
A
Make
sure
that
you
isolate
if
you're
having
symptoms
and
continue
to
just
do
the
basic
types
of
things
that
will
help
us
reduce
the
spread
and
that
will
protect
you
wear
your
mask.
Keep
some
distance
wash
your
hands
limit.
Your
interactions
like
this.
This
is
a
real.
This
is
going
to
be
a
really
hard
few
weeks.
E
A
Yes,
all
of
that's
still
possible
the
only
the
difference
between
sort
of
the
traditional
pcr
and
what
we
know
like
when
folks
talk
about
rapid
they're,
typically
talking
about
rapid
antigen
tests,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
folks
understand.
There
are
different
types
of
rapid
tests.
Some
of
them
are
even
pcr.
B
A
Traditionally,
folks
are
talking
about
the
difference
between
a
pcr
and
a
rapid,
antigen
and
pcr
is
what
we
consider
that
gold
standard
right.
What
we
know
about
rapid
antigen
tests
is
that
they
are
more
most
accurate,
most
sensitive
when
folks
have
a
higher
higher
viral
load
or
that
they
are
symptomatic,
and
in
that
very
infectious
period
they
tend
to
be
less
accurate
and
less
sensitive
when
folks
have
lower
viral
loads
or
asymptomatic.
And
so
we
just
want
to
caution
folks
to
remember
that.
A
Yeah
and
so
in
general,
I
have
statewide
data
which
we
can
assume
like
we're
no
different
than
the
rest
of
the
state.
So
I
you
know
we
have
much
better
aggregate
data
around
statewide
numbers.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
the
last
respiratory
report.
It
has
been
fairly
consistent
that
about
anywhere
from
15
to
20
percent
of
all
the
infections
that
we're
seeing
are
post-vaccination
infections,
so
that's
been
pretty
consistent
for
a
while.
A
Now
what
you're,
probably
hearing
more
about
is
that
we
have
a
lot
more
people
vaccinated
right
so
when
that
denominator,
when
that,
when
that
big
number
changes
to
even
a
bigger
number,
that
15
to
20
percent
now
is
a
bigger
number
of
actual
individuals
that
you're
seeing
right,
but
the
percentage.
When
we
look
at
all
the
cases,
it
hasn't
changed
that
much.
H
H
H
Let's
call
it
nickel
lining
around
this
cloud
is
that
it
appears
to
be
less
virulent,
it
causes
less
severe
disease,
and
so,
if
it
had
been
as
virulent
as
delta
or
any
of
the
other
strains,
we
would
be
overwhelmed
with
hospitalizations
right
now.
The
good
news
is,
we
haven't
seen
that
yet,
but
we're
still
on
the
upward
trend
of
the
hospitalizations
in
our
community
and
across
the
state
and
across
the
country,
the
total
number
today
in
our
system.
So
all
seven
of
our
hospitals
was
113
patients.
H
As
stacy
pointed
out,
we've
seen
that
the
numbers
of
patients
who
are
hospitalized
who
have
been
vaccinated
is
a
very,
very,
very
small
percentage
overall,
relatively
small
percentage
overall
of
the
total
numbers
of
hospitalizations,
the
numbers
that
we
have
and
I'm
just
going
to
be
totally
honest
with
you.
It's
difficult
to
track
who's
been
vaccinated
or
not
because
we're
reliant
on
self-reporting
from
the
patients,
and
so
it's
not
always
clear,
but
it
was
between
5
and
10
percent
of
our
hospitalizations
right
now
are
vaccinated.
H
H
The
vaccines
work
at
decreasing
severity
of
illness,
hospitalization
and
likelihood
of
death,
and
so,
even
if
you
get
infected
and
we'll
all
hear
stories
about
people,
who've
been
infected,
who've
been
vaccinated
and
boosted.
My
son
is
one
of
those.
The
good
news
is,
he
had
very
minimal.
Symptoms
barely
knew
he
had
a
cold
and
that's
what
we're
striving
for
be
turning
this
virus
in
into
an
endemic
illness
that
we
can
live
with
and
keep
people
out
of
the
hospital
and
keep
people
from
getting
severely
ill.
H
We
are
hopeful
that
some
of
the
newer
therapies
that
are
to
become
available
that
have
been
approved,
including
the
oral
therapies
from
pfizer
and
merck,
which
inhibit
viral
replication,
so
the
virus
can't
reproduce
in
your
body
will
have
an
impact
on
our
community
going
forward.
The
problem
is
they're,
just
not
available
they're,
just
in
such
a
short
supply
right
now,
that's
going
to
be
a
while.
H
There
is
data
out
of
south
africa,
which
suggested
a
four
week
course
to
to
the
peak,
and
so
that
would
put
us
somewhere
into
mid
to
late
january
when
we'd
start
to
come
down.
It
was,
interestingly
in
comparison
to
the
prior
peaks
from
the
surges.
This
is,
as
stacy
showed
in
her
epi
curve,
a
very
steep
and
rapid
rise,
and
we
expect
a
steep
and
rapid
decline
or
we're
hopeful
for
a
steep
and
rapid
decline.
F
D
D
H
End
up
having
it,
it
doesn't
separate
those
out,
but
the
vast
majority
are
are
hospitalized
for
covid
it's.
What
we
do
is
we
look
at
the
positive
test
in
relationship
to
the
date
of
their
admission,
so
we've
had
some
patients
who've
been
in
the
hospital
who
test
positive
they'll,
be
there
for
six
weeks.
For
other
reasons,
that's
not
no
longer
considered
a
coveted
hospitalization,
but
if
a
patient
comes
in
with
acute
gallbladder
problems,
coincidentally,
test
positive
and
hazcova
they're
included
in
that
number.
Also,
okay,.
D
D
H
Right,
so
we
only
test
if
they,
if
there's
an
indication
to
test
if
we
believe
that
they
have
coveted.
So
this
is
not.
We
have.
You
know
700
plus
patients
in
the
hospital
right
now
we
don't
test
each
of
those
for
covet
and
then
a
certain
number
of
those,
coincidentally,
have
coveted
but
they're
in
for
knee
surgery.
As
an
example,
that's
not
the
case.
These
are
really
covet
cases,
okay
for
all
practical
purposes,
with
perhaps
just
a
very,
very,
very
small
number
of
exceptions.
There's.
D
H
D
My
final
thought
thought
our
question.
You
know
I've
read
other
other
communities
across
the
country,
whether
it's
hospitals
or
ems
ems
units
or
whatever
they've.
They
have
a
lot
of
staff
out
because
they're
sick
yeah,
because
of
the
current
viruses.
Do
you
have
staffing
concerns?
I
guess
over
the
next
month.
H
Yeah,
are
you?
Yes,
we
do
we,
you
know,
there's
staffing
concerns,
given
the
nationwide
nursing
shortage
as
an
example,
the
other
places
where
we
have
significant
staffing
issues,
independent
of
the
covid
challenges
right
now,
but
exacerbated
by
those
are
in
our
food
nutrition
services
and
evs
workers.
We
all
know
that
unemployment
is
now
dipping
to
very
low
levels.
H
Those
workers
are
in
high
demand
by
all
of
the
tourist
industry
here
in
asheville
and
other
people,
so
that
it's
a
very
competitive
workforce
and-
and
so
we
have,
we
have
challenges
in
many
places:
we're
using
contract,
labor,
offering
overtime,
surge,
pay,
etc.
All
the
strategies
that
we
can
have
available
to
bump
that
up
and
right
now
we're
doing
okay,
we're
not
where
we
want
to
be,
but
you
know
it's
a
fine
line
between
the
demand
and
supply
that
we
have
right
now.
C
Dr
hathaway,
I
think
we
hear
from
a
lot
of
folks,
particularly
with
omicron,
that
it's
not
that
bad.
It's
just
like
a
cold.
I
might
as
well
just
go
ahead
and
get
it
and
get
it
over
with.
Can
you
share
with
us
any
data
research
about
long-haul
covid
and
why
we
shouldn't
necessarily
feel
like
it's
okay
to
get
it?
It's
just
a
cold.
What
what
are
you
seeing
in
in
medical
research
in
regards
to
long-term
impacts
of
having
covet
yeah.
H
So
a
couple
thoughts
before
I
hit
the
long-haul
covet,
the
you
know
the
the
patients
in
our
icu
and
on
the
ventilators
would
disagree
with
this
lack
of
severity.
You
know
there
is
a
segment
of
the
population
who's
going
to
get
severely
ill,
we're
fortunate
that
it's
not
as
bad
as
others,
but
you
it's
it's
hard
to
predict.
We
know
there's
certain
risk
factors
for
severe
illness,
but
neither
you
or
I
want
anyone
to
believe
that
they
should
roll
the
dice.
It's
not
a
it's.
Not
a
game
of
chance
that
you
want
to
play.
H
Long-Hull
covet
is
really
very,
very
interesting
and
intriguing
it.
No
one
really
understands.
Or
can
I
fully
identify
the
the
pathology
of
it?
We
believe
it's
in
part
related
to
the
body's
own
response
to
the
illness
and
maybe
even
producing
antibodies
against
the
antibodies
that
we
developed
for
in
response
to
the
infection,
lots
of
questions
about
that
the
typical
symptoms
involve
fatigue,
this
coveted
brain
fog.
H
I
was
joking
around
that
we
all
seem
to
be
in
a
coveted
brain
fog,
but
this
is
a
real
illness
where
people
just
don't
have
the
clarity
of
thought
that
they
they
usually
have.
They
have
typical
symptoms
of
what
we
call
an
autonomic
instability.
Those
are
fancy
words.
What
does
that
mean?
It
means
that
their
heart
rate
goes
up
too
fast.
When
they
stand
up
they're
short
of
breath,
they
don't
have
the
normal
regulatory
response
to
normal
stimuli
that
you
have.
H
So
you
just
feel
terrible
for
a
long
time
where
there's
some
data
out
there
that
suggest
that,
interestingly,
that
vaccination
afterwards
may
actually
be
helpful.
That's
in
part
anecdotal
it.
It
appears
to
have
features
which
is
in
many
ways
consistent
with
what
we
used
to
call
chronic
fatigue
syndrome
and
then
there's
an
illness
called
pots
or
postural
orthostatic
tachycardia
syndrome,
which
is
that
you
know,
stand
up
to
get
dizzy
short
of
breath.
I
H
Yes,
just
like
we
anticipated
that
thanksgiving
and
christmas,
with
gatherings
of
family
members
in
indoor
spaces
will
increase
spread.
We
know
that
any
time
where
we're
close
together
will
increase
and
as
stacy's
data
pointed
out
we're
still
at
you
know
very
minority.
We
haven't
even
hit
50
percent
for
the
eligible
pediatric
population
to
be
vaccinated
yet,
and
so
that's
a
group
that
is
going
to
see
increased
numbers
of
cases
and
then,
if
they
get
the
cases
they
can
spread
them
to
the
most
vulnerable
and
then
they
can
become
hospitalized.
H
H
Where
there's
an
increase,
it's
still
not
a
big
number,
but
it
should
be
zero
right.
We
don't
want
any
kids
to
be
ill
or
sick.
With
this
you
know
potentially
very
serious
illness,
and
so
it's
important
to
again,
as
we've
said
before
and
we'll
say
again,
get
the
vaccinations
and
and
get
the
series
and
when
you're
eligible
for
the
booster
get
the
booster
and
kids
too.
It's
safe.
