4. There have been outbreaks here at some of the camps

(similar to what happened last summer), and the public school system here in Philly indicated that there would be a mask mandate for students, faculty, and other staff/employees when they start up again at the end of August. Of course for all we know there might end up being a heatwave that results in 1/2 day closures of the schools that week too, like the last time they tried starting before Labor Day a couple years ago, but that's a whole other issue.

The city Health Department had a presser today to announce that they were re-starting their weekly briefings (that had been dropped back in June) and are supposed to start reporting the cases daily again (after dropping back to twice a week). We have been doubling about every 7 - 10 days, although way below our peak from this past spring, but still up to over 100 cases a day now (after dropping down to around 20 - 30 before July 4th). During our peaks, we were in the thousands per day.

The city has about 71% of eligible residents > 18 with one dose, so we have made some progress. But now it's to get to the tweens and young teens.
