Jolly Hot Monday!

Filosofa's Word

Good Monday morning, friends, and welcome to our Jolly Monday!  Why do the weekends keep getting shorter and shorter?  I would swear it was just Friday and now … POOF … it’s already Monday!  There are dark and mysterious forces at work here, I do believe!

Given the heat, humidity, and poor air quality, neither Joyful nor I felt up to cooking this morning, so we sent Jolly on a coffee-and-donut run, and we have a bit of fresh fruit to add a healthy touch, so help yourself and then lets find some things to start this week off with a smile, a chuckle, or maybe even a laugh or two!

The U.S. Department of Health sent a letter last week to vaccine manufacturers about their expectations for this transition. It said the shots should be ready for the FDA and the CDC to make recommendations by the latter part of September.

Federal officials are also encouraging manufacturers to remain ready to support surges in demand for vaccines.

One of the biggest issues on the table is cost. The U.S. Department of Health is asking companies to price the shots at a reasonable rate and warn against price gouging.
