Kolek planning to go pro
WI released new eligibility guidelines today. Fat guys with hypertension are now eligible. (Fat chicks too but I still identify as a fat guy)Get.In.My.Arm.
Another example of the inconsistency of the guidelines among states. WI includes several conditions (like hypertension and asthma) that aren't in the CDC guidelines. FWIW, the data seem to indicate that WI is right and CDC is wrong. Still, the state to stat inconsistencies are maddening.
WI 1) has a TON of fatfůcks and 2) is doing really well with vaccine numbers.
1 is actually an untrue stereotype. WI is in the middle of the pack for obesity.
Over 65s and teachers should all be vaccinated soon. Evers should open it to all after that.
May for general public seems like the current target.
I really don't know if this is a problem. Most people don't really pay attention to anything that is going on in other states. Would strict national standards be better? I am not sure that's a question I can answer.
Supposedly Biden wants everyone eligible May 1.

The CDC does include hypertension an asthma. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.htmlIt is just in a lower tier of confidence based on the number of available studies. They are included in "might be at increased risk". Many states simply link to the CDC page, and leave it up to physicians or the individual on where the cut off for "risk" occurs. I know may states include all of the "might be at increased risk" disorders. Many also include a carve out indicating the list of disorders that qualify is not exhaustive, which makes it even harder to determine what is included. Tons of confusion. That is one of the reasons I will not fault anyone for just signing up if they think they qualify based on medical conditions, provided they have a condition listed somewhere on the CDC page.
Does it count if the anxiety over being unvaccinated is raising my blood pressure?
Doc was right, aina?
With the hope of maybe (if we’re lucky) then being able to get together with family and close friends for a 4th of July bbq 🤦♂️Not the speech I was hoping to hear. Between the threat of imposing restrictions again and the general negativity around the message it just didn’t seem to meet the moment or optimistic forward look after such a sh*tty last twelve months.
