Netflix and Hulu? Check. Alexa and Siri, for instant answers? Check. And now, in Los Angeles County, you can also get an on demand COVID-19 vaccine.
That’s right. In a world of inhome services — and at a time of urgent concern that not enough people are getting their shots to fend off the coronavirus — the vaccines can come to you. At least that’s what public health officials want to remind you about this week.

BY MARC JOFFE From the Pasadena Star-News:

The United States is in an “unnecessary predicament” of soaring COVID-19 cases fueled by unvaccinated Americans and the virulent delta variant, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert said Sunday.

“We’re going in the wrong direction,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, describing himself as “very frustrated.”

In the face of steadily increasing COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, Los Angeles County residents will again be required to wear masks in indoor public settings beginning Saturday night, health officials announced Thursday. Pasadena spokesperson Lisa Derderian said the city is reviewing options for a similar mandate.

This information provides a greater awareness to the Pasadena community. The critical events detailed below are merely a snapshot of the calls received to the Police Communications Center every day. Your police department strives to better serve the Pasadena community. Under Police Chief John Perez, the principles of the “Pasadena Way” will forever have a lasting impact on all employees who serve in the organization, as we continue to police with compassion and best intentions.

Americans 12 and older can get a COVID-19 vaccine, but younger children are still waiting.

COVID-19 transmission continues slowly trending upward in Pasadena on Thursday, with 16 new infections documented by public health officials. City officials reported 12 new COVID-19 infections in Pasadena on Friday as new cases county wide reached their highest level since March. No new deaths were reported in Pasadena.

Last year, companies around the U.S. scrambled to figure out how to shut down their offices and set up their employees for remote work as the COVID-19 virus suddenly bore down on the world.

Now, in a mirror image, they are scrambling to figure out how to bring many of those employees back.
Most companies are proceeding cautiously, trying to navigate declining COVID-19 infections against a potential backlash by workers who are not ready to return.
