One year into the pandemic the state contractor that manages Home and Community Based long term care for Medicaid just sent me a box of PPE; a couple hundred masks (surgical, KN-95, cloth, scarf), gallons of hand sanitizer, gloves, thermometer gun, alcohol wipes. and tote bag. A year into the pandemic.

My nephew, crazy smart, is turning 11 next month and as best Uncle, it is time he built a PC. There is a catch though, I'm functionally a quadriplegic, so he's going to have to do all the labor. I thought it a cool post COVID project. My budget is ~$400, peripherals not needed. What's an easy to work with case and motherboard? I've been out of the PC hardware world for awhile and need some suggestions, he's a minecraft fortnite kid.

Got a raise, probably lose 28 hours a week in care as a result... -
If an F-16 is in a dog fight with an A-10 then the F-16 pilot forgot where the throttle is. The F-35s problem is it's a nightmare to upgrade or integrate new weapons. Lockheed proprietary'ed the shit out of everything, including the software, which makes changing anything a disaster. The contract gave Lockheed way too much control. The current 4th generation fighters (F-16s, Super Hornets) are all excellent multirole aircraft, so it is possible. Supposedly the Air Force has already flown it's 6th generation NGAD fighter (no one really knows what 6th gen means) that's open architecture and the Navy is moving on it's 6th gen Hornet replacement (both seem to be heavy fighters to get F-14/F-15 ranges and weapons capacity) . Another issue is the requirement that the Air Force treat the Air Guard as equals, meaning they get F-35s too. My guess is this new 5th/4th gen light fighter is for the Air Guard.

Now that I've got the vaccine, and can have caregivers without dying, my girlfriend and I are going to start apartment or house hunting. We should hear in a few weeks about her job situation then decide where. -
Second dose in, didn't wait the 15 minutes though, some bastard decided to take his mask off in the middle of the waiting area and start coughing. Everyone in my house is now fully vaccinated. My parents got it because they are over 65 and registered as my back up caregivers, my girlfriend got it since she's my primary caregiver during COVID, and I got it by, well, nevermind.

Doing better than Nursing Home Staff #AbolishNursingHomes: "Early reports suggest nursing home residents are getting vaccinated at a higher rate than workers. A CDC analysis of more than 11,000 long-term care facilities found that in the first month of vaccinations, about 78% of residents got at least one dose, but only 38% of staffers did." Vaccine Hesitancy vs. Vaccine Refusal: Nursing Home Staffers Say There’s a Difference | Kaiser Health News KHN.ORG It’s becoming increasingly clear that decision-making about the covid vaccine is complicated and multifaceted, which means persuading people to say yes will be, too.
