Testing Down Across CC 03-03-21 10:36 S.S.

With  more  people  getting  vaccinated,  the  number  of  people  getting  Covid-19  testing  has  dropped,  and  that  could  be  problematic  for getting  counties  re-opened.   That’s  because  as  the  numbers  of  people  getting  tested  drops,  the  number  of  negative  test  results  decrease, and  the  number  of  positive  test  results  increases.....and  that  will  impact  the   Test  Positivity  Rate  that  is  one  of  the  metrics  being  watched  so  the  state  can  determine  when  each  county  can  move  up  in  the  state’s  Roadmap  To  Recovery  Tier  System.

Monterey Zoo – Issues Or Not....? 03-03-21 09:00 S.S.

A  recent  report  by  In  Defense  Of  Animals  reportedly  indicated  that  elephants  aren’t  doing  so  well  at  a  local  zoo,  but  the  director  of  that  zoo  says  that  their  elephants  are  all  retired  from  circuses  and  carnivals,  and  should  not  been  measured  the  same  way  as  animals  that  have  always  been  cared  for  in  zoos  are.   In  the  meantime, local  animal  care  experts,  and  humane  officers  in  Monterey  county,  say  they  have  not  received  any  complaints  about the  Monterey  Zoo....and  the  complaint  that  I-D-A  received  may  well  have  been  from  an  anonymous  tip  to  P.E.T.A.,  that  they  then  passed  on  to  I-D-A.
