I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx
Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

Mask up, people. There's a lot of Covid about right now. If you want to know your state-specific risk, the CDC has a nifty interactive map but if you can't be bothered just assume it's either High or Very High. And wear a good mask.

Fever came up again. Got it handled. Now I've got a dry choking cough that's pretty nasty and I feel like I can't move a muscle.

Mask up. Please. You don't want this new variant. Or any variant. Wear a mask.

Also for everyone asking how I got this information: my office asked the companies for it, and they gave it to us.

It turns out that the major pharmacies in the U.S. routinely provide patient medical records to law enforcement without a warrant. The potential ramifications of this for anyone on birth control, ordering abortion pills, or medication for mental illness and other personal conditions are staggering.
