PORTLAND, Ore. — People in six Washington counties should begin wearing masks indoors in public and on public transportation again, according to recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The latest information from the CDC shows that Lewis County, Pacific County, Thurston County, Grays Harbor County, Garfield County and Spokane County all have COVID-19 community levels rated “high,” meaning they have had 200 or more new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days, or they’ve had more than 20 new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people within a seven-day period.

1. I'm still masking on public transit and avoiding crowds.

I know several people who are fully vaxxed and boosted who have recently tested positive. So far, their cases have been mild to moderate, but who knows what long term effects might be.

3. 4 out7 in my office tested positive 2 weeks ago.

3 fully vaccinated. I think the only reason I didn't get it is they know o to stay the fuck away from me

8. Yep. The guys I work with know to keep their distance.

4. I got it 3 weeks ago (Oregon)

Went to a conference center hosting its first conference in 2 years--working childcare for the conference. Didn't mask, assuming that with all my shots... wrong.

It is mild, but slow to clear out. I hadn't noticed before, but now everywhere I go, I hear the same hacking cough.

Masking up again.

5. Yep, it's going up again.

Two new sub-variants of Omicron are spreading. They are highly infectious and good at immune escape.

6. Timing

My wife flies to Europe from Seatac Wednesday, and I'm going to Country Fair on Friday.

7. I know two cases this month from flying

despite masks and vaccines.

Also doctor and dentist both warned against any group gatherings.

Saving my risk taking for the grocery store.

9. I didn't mention

Two days after she gets back (and a day after my pre-surgery Covid test) she's my escort home from a minor surgery.

10. I never stopped.
