I am an Environmental Health and Safety Professional, as well as a science/technical writer for a variety of news and professional publications. I have been a citizen activist since 2009, and am one of the co-founders of the San Diego-based group, Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition.

During his "state of the state" address, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told residents he intends to safely reopen the state’s economy despite an increasing number of confirmed coronavirus cases.
The Democratic governor put a heavy emphasis on planning the state’s "economic resurgence," even as it faces a record-setting budget deficit.

Last week, I noted that Texas bucked the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The new instructions said that "essential workers" should have priority over the elderly after the inclusion of racial justice factors in the "expert" assessment when determining who receives the coronavirus vaccine during the next phase of distribution.
