Willow Springs safety reminder
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2021 10:43 amSince we have a TT/DE event 9-18 & 9-19 in Kern County, just a reminder that Covid-19 and the Delta variant is still around: 
From the LA Times:
Kern County, home to Bakersfield, recorded a new COVID-19 hospitalization high for the summer on Thursday. In the San Joaquin Valley, available capacity in intensive care units has been below 10% for seven days, and state health officials have implemented COVID-19 hospital surge protocols there.
Hospitalization rates are still relatively high throughout California for those suffering from COVID-19. Some experts have suggested it’s reasonable to take emergency measures , such as enacting mask mandates, when there are 5 or more people hospitalized with COVID-19 for every 100,000 residents.
The San Francisco Bay Area’s rate is 12 hospitalizations for every 100,000 people; Southern California’s is 17; Greater Sacramento is at 30; rural Northern California, 36; and the San Joaquin Valley, 38, according to The Times’ analysis.
So remember to keep your masks on and social distancing, especially indoors.
