Done Since 2020-12-27 (back-dated)
WTF? Apparently I didn't finish writing my "Done Since" post back on January 3rd -- I could claim that Colleen and I were out carousing on our 45th anniversary, but... (I did post Song for Sunday: Forty Five Years, though.)
I'm not going to try to write a summary. I'm going to post this back-dated to 2021-01-03, which will leave it in the right place for data-mining and other historical purposes. I don't really have a good way to do that with MakeStuff; the options are:
- Post it manually.
- Post it normally, then edit the date and mark it as back-dated. Leaves it public for a little while but gets the post URL right.
- -> Post it with Access: private, then edit the date, make it public, and edit in the URL. Probably that.

@ State takes over COVID tracing from county | Whidbey News-Times
" the majority of the county’s public health nurses quit and on-call staff is being
trained on a state software program.
In addition, the county’s community and family health director also quit, and the
health officer isn’t renewing his contract, which expires at the end of the
year. In emails and reports obtained by the Whidbey News-Times, they both cited
poor communication and other concerns regarding county Public Health, alleging the
problems are so bad that they put their licenses at risk. "
