Tue Jun 9 06:00:01 EDT 2020 ======================================== Slept from eleven to six-thirty. Mostly sunny until late afternoon then becoming mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 90s. Southeast winds 5 to 15 mph. Work ---------------------------------------- - Call Kelly about check scanner Done. - Patch Tuesday Done. - External access to intranet or just intranet links Done. - Virtual tours on Entrata Looked at extensively, but no satisfactory answer yet.

Put away dishes, vacuumed, wiped down kitchen counters. https://www.michiganradio.org/post/heres-where-michigan-terms-testing-contact-tracing > Michigan is now testing nearly 15,000 people per day on average, state officials say. That’s a big improvement. But it’s still far short of the “robust level” of 30,000 daily tests needed “to help us identify any new cases and swiftly contain the disease,” Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said Friday. > Khaldun also offered updates on contact tracing, saying that more than 400 people were working in the state’s centralized contact tracing platform to reach everyone testing positive within 24 hours. But so far, she said, they’re only reaching people 60% of the time. > “This highlights the fact that we really need everyone to pick up the phone when they are called. But by a state or local health department staff,” she said. > Last month, Harvard’s Global Health Institute estimated Michigan would need to do some 58,000 tests per day to reach “minimum targets for how much testing each state needs by May 15 to contain its outbreak through a strategy of testing, tracing and isolating positive cases and their contacts,” according to NPR. > Governor Gretchen Whitmer testified earlier this week that “supply shortages continue to limit how many tests Michigan can conduct each day.” While FEMA started sending “significant numbers of swabs” in May, “we are often given little, and in some cases inaccurate, information about the types of supplies being shipped to the state, which makes planning difficult,” Whitmer stated. > “As you know, not all laboratories can accept all types of materials, so unexpectedly receiving, for example, a new type of swab or unlabeled vials of saline, can require fully reworking allocation plans,” she said. The first 1.5 seasons of Hannibal were solid. The third season is a little tedious, with the protracted recaps and frequent dream sequences. Gillian Anderson is a pleasure, though.
