I don’t know if the prison staff have already be vaccinated. Was planning on researching that tonight.

Here is an article by Human Rights Watch about lack of Palestinian vaccination:

No surprise, a woman flying from the UK has brought the UK variant to my state now. Here comes another uptick, but the governor made sure to mandate I wear a mask hiking by myself while doing nothing about air travel. What a loser Charlie Baker is!
ETA To get to Logan Airport you have to go through a tunnel. Close the tunnel and close the subway blue line stop, it is not difficult.
A state cannot regulate international travel.while doing nothing about air travel.
The newspaper from Hermann, a small town of 2500, has a column every week listing the known exposures to coronavirus.December 7 at the village market grocery store. December 14 at Hermanoff winery. Etc etc. Small town news at its best.
As far as I can tell, corrections officers and those such as sheriff’s deputies who serve as CO in country jails have NOT been vaccinated yet, per the articles I found. It seems they might be vaccinated in the same distribution phase as the prisoners, but that’s not a given. Staff have priority over prisoners, IMO.
I saw on the news at the current rollout rate it will take 7 to 8 years to vaccinate the US population. You read that right, years not months. My octogenarian parents cannot get a vaccine. Inmates are getting them instead of people who worked hard, paid taxes, and obeyed the law their whole lives. In over 60 years of driving my father got one speeding ticket and my mother not even that.
There is one giant football stadium set up to be a vaccination center, far from where they live and very intimidating even if/when they will be able to go there. Every city and town has a senior center. The centers have freezers because they serve meals. It should be easy to give vaccines locally.
My parents may not live another 7 to 8 years. I am starting to think maybe I should visit with them indoors, hug them, etc. Think of all the people who didn't visit their parents because nursing homes forbade it and they died anyways. It gives me thought.
Yppej, if you can visit your parents safely, then that would be good.
I guess you guys are the only ones who can figure that out, what is a safe way to be in each other's pod.
