    one of the dog sitters we use has a home we call "the thunderdome" because there are a lot of dogs there and we're pretty sure they are under the rule of a 15 year old chihuahua who has a strong Voldemort baby vibe

    Check this map ⬇️ for your community transmission level like you check the weather in the AM “High” risk = 😷 indoors (even if you’re vaccinated). Then, read this whole thread to understand WHY. As says, we all have a stake in this.

    F) How do you know what the transmission level is? & team have put out this helpful graphic to help you look at transmission where you live. All you have to do is pop in your county. PRO TIP! Check this every AM like you check the weather.
