UC requires COVID boosters, weighs online start amid Omicron – Los Angeles Times

UCLA and six other University of California undergraduate campuses announced Tuesday that classes will begin remotely at the start of the new term, as colleges throughout the nation wrestle with plans for a safe return after winter break amid an increasingly serious surge of the Omicron coronavirus variant.

Additionally, all eligible students and staff in the 10-campus UC system will be required to provide proof that they have received a COVID-19 booster shot, officials announced.

Good People Doing Good Things — Holiday Spirit

Filosofa's Word

If it’s Wednesday … wait … hold on … IT’S WEDNESDAY ALREADY???  No, it can’t be … only … 1 … 2 … 3 more days ‘til Christmas???  Where has the week gone?  Where has December gone?  For that matter, where has the YEAR gone???  😱

Now, as I was saying … if it’s Wednesday, it must be time to set aside the angst, the characters that bring about mounds of snark and rants and turn instead to some good people.  Turns out, I found a couple without even looking and I think they will help us all to remember what the spirit of the season really is.

Working Wednesdays, Umbrella Project Do Better, From Rough Draft to 3rd Draft

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     (credit and thanks to The Atlantic for image, I make nothing from it.)

        This post is the start of the rough draft of  Chapter 7, section III, part A, for my non-fiction WiP, Do Better, fka Baby Floors (fka Baby Acres, or Acre Baby…).    This section will complete the early years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase I, with our Public Domain Social Infrastructure.    It’s here for comparison, because I can’t bear the pain of letting the original version of this idea go without at least a whimper. 

    Comment on Part I: Dreaming, in Draft 3 changes Do Better into a much more community project oriented book, as I prepare to pass on the torch.    To comment on chapter 7, in Part II: Engineering, look here

COVID-19 in Jamaica: boosting, testing, vaccinating, and the Fourth Wave

Petchary's Blog

We got our booster shots this week. Our regular vaccination centre was bursting at the seams, so we drove down the road apiece to St. Joseph’s Hospital. As far as getting a needle stuck in your arm can be a pleasant experience – it really was! We sat under a big, airy tent on the hospital’s spacious grounds, and one doctor explained possible side effects to each one of us in a sensible and matter of fact way, answering questions from everyone. Another doctor wheeled a trolley with the vaccines in a small igloo.

So that was done. I admit that I felt pretty lousy the following day (my husband had a mere headache). I felt very much like the Jamaican version of a tweet that made me laugh. After his booster, this American tweeter said he “felt like a…
