Last Week The Features we ran from The City of Key West were; : Crime is Down, KWPD Looking for Motivated Candidates, KCI Tech. to give plans to revitalize Historic Duval. Here are two encore Features.. Go to the Feb 22, 2021 https://conta.cc/3pF4Nqy to see above Features ENCORE Editor's Note : The Two Brief Features Below are from a few weeks ago; but certainly worth repeating
----------------------------
The City of Key West has partnered with the Monroe County Tourist Development Council to remind visitors and residents that masks are required to be worn in Key West. The TDC has funded an additional two dozen pole banners destined to be installed in the busiest commercial areas. The tourism council is also helping to finance production of a portion of 10 overhead street banners. Besides other measures being taken by both the City and the TDC, Key West portable electronic dynamic messaging signs are also set up at key sites to better inform arriving visitors of the city’s strict mask ordinance.
-------------------------------------------- THE CITY OF KEY WEST HAS A NEW MASK ORDINANCE Editor's Note : This Material was sent a few months ago . Of course it's still important that you read it.
The Key West City Commission today amended the City’s mask ordinance in light of the current spike in Covid-19 cases. After an in-depth discussion, the commission voted unanimously to remove an exemption that had allowed the removal of masks outdoors. The City now requires the wearing of masks any time a resident or a visitor steps out of their residence, they must wear a mask regardless of the ability to social distance “We’re trying to regain control of our more crowded outdoor areas,” City Manager Greg Veliz told the commission. During Tuesday’s meeting, the commission discussed creating mask zones for the busiest areas. However, City Attorney Shawn Smith said zoning would create a patchwork that could lead to inconsistency as well as creating a difficulty for enforcement.

United Way of Collier and the Keys is excited to announce a partnership with the City of Key West to assist with approximately $250,000 in aid to residents affected by COVID-19. During the January 5 City of Key West Commission meeting, a stop-gap proposal was made by local health, nonprofit, faith-based and business representatives to assist the Key West community during the next few critical months of the pandemic. The Commission recognized if ever there were a moment to step in and fill the gap, that time is now, and the Mayor and Key West City Commission unanimously approved up to $500,000 to assist local residents. The goal is to keep community members healthy and safe, stabilize households and retain residents here in Key West. UWCK will work alongside 9 other local non-profits to connect the City’s support to our residents. To be eligible, residents must have documented significant financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 and be a City of Key West resident or a Stock Island resident who works in Key West.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT THEIR LITERARY TOURS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS ISSUE
POET & BIRD LOVER ELIZABETH BISHOP FEATURE by PRESIDENT OF WWW.KWLS.ORG
Last spring, we commissioned a detailed Historic Structure Report of Elizabeth Bishop's former home at 624 White Street. A team led by award-winning historic preservation architect David Salay, of Bender & Associates, produced a suite of engineering assessments, environmental analyses, and architectural renderings. Their report follows guidelines outlined by the National Park Service, and will serve as the guiding document for all future work at the site. But to the layperson, or the lover of literary history, by far the most fascinating element of this report is the 100-page narrative section authored by historian Jonathan Lammers, simply titled "History of the Elizabeth Bishop House." (EDITOR'S NOTE : Due to Extreme Space Constraints the Rest of this Feature by Arlo Haskell can be found by Clicking BISHOP )
624 White Street will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the month of February, from 1:00–3:00 pm. To accommodate social distancing, the number of persons inside the house at any given time will be limited. Visitors must wear a mask which covers the nose and mouth throughout their time on site.

Editor's Note : They have been showing Virtual Concerts all year long (THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU) ; and I expect to get some news about what they have planned in the first quarter of 2021; so stay tuned here and of course go to their website and facebook pages About South Florida Symphony Orchestra South Florida Symphony Orchestra, founded by Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso 23 years ago, provides exciting and enriching cultural experiences through Masterworks concerts with internationally renowned guest solists in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Key West. Guided by the belief that music is pivotal to community engagement, SFSO also brings vibrancy and strengthens public commitment to the arts through its transformative outreach and educational programming, including Symphony in the Schools for culturally underserved students.
After impressive career successes, Maestra Alfonso returned “home” to Key West, Florida, in 1997 to make a dream come true: bringing orchestral music, with all its associated educational and cultural benefits, to the southernmost island in the continental United States. In late 1998, with huge community support, the Key West Symphony made its debut. Subsequently renamed, the South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is the only professional orchestra that performs full seasons in Key West, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
Award-winning Maestra Alfonso has established herself as a dynamic musical force. She is one of the few female conductors in the world. Her creativity has established SFSO as a leader in innovative collaborations, which are evolving the classical music art form and attracting new audiences. UPCOMING VIRTUAL CONCERTS Event Name: South Florida Symphony presents Masterworks V (virtual concert) Date: March 20, 2021 (SECOND PHOTO BELOW) Time: 8pm Description: South Florida Symphony presents Masterworks V, featuring Ravel’s exhilarating scherzo, Introduction and Allegro; Argentinian-tinged Variaciones Concertantes by Ginastera, widely regarded as one of the most influential and original South American composers of the 20th century; and Mozart’s “Great G Minor Symphony,” Symphony No. 40.
Event Name: South Florida Symphony presents Masterworks VI (virtual concert) Date: April 24, 2021 (3RD PHOTO BELOW) Time: 8pm Description: The raw passion of Russian symphonic music prevails in South Florida Symphony's evening of masterpieces by Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. Audience favorite, Svetlana Smolina, returns with Shostakovich’s carefree and witty First Piano Concerto. The evening concludes with one of Tchaikovsky’s finest works, the ravishing Serenade for Strings.

She persuades him to stay in town and invites his wife and daughter to come to River Bend. The reunion is all Teniquia expected. In the meantime, Nancy Rawlings has returned to town asking her old flame, Mars, to help her recover from her mental health crisis – the crisis where she tried to shoot him a few months ago. Her return threatens the relationship Mars has been developing with Trina Hardesty and her children. The gang soon learns that Nancy hasn’t changed. She has only one reason to be in River Bend. Murder! But who will be the victim?

Dengue can present as a severe flu-like illness with severe muscle aches and pain, fever and sometimes a rash. Usually, there are no respiratory symptoms. Symptoms of Dengue will appear within 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Dengue fever is not contagious but is transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito. The emergence of these Dengue cases reinforces the importance for the public to prevent insect bites and to take basic precautions to help limit exposure. These measures include intact windows and screens and the use of air conditioning, keeping the area around your residence free from containers that collect water, wearing protective clothing and the appropriate use of insect repellents. are experiencing any symptoms or have additional questions, please call DOH-Monroe at 305-293-7500 and choose option 3.

AARP "8 Things to Know Before Your 2nd Shot"; Imp. Info. even if you have not received your First. I have given the URL Below in Case you wanted to send to Friends
If you've already received your first dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, congratulations — you're well on your way to being protected from the coronavirus. But to be fully immunized, it's critical to get that second shot. Across the country, some people are running into snafus as they try to get their second dose. Winter storms have shut down clinics in some areas, while others have closed because they temporarily ran out of vaccine. There are also scattered reports of scheduling glitches. If you've had an appointment canceled, don't wait for someone to call you — be proactive about rescheduling your second shot, advises William Schaffner, M.D., an infectious diseases specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. "We have told everyone these vaccines are 95 percent effective,” he says of the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines currently in use in the U.S. “But they're only 95 percent effective if you indeed get that second dose." Here are a few more things to know about the second dose: 1. Your side effects will likely be stronger Many people who had little to no reaction to the first vaccine dose are reporting that the second one packs a punch — surprising even those who study vaccines for a living. Greg Poland, M.D., an infectious disease expert at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and director of Mayo's vaccine research group, had only mild symptoms after his first dose. But the second one left him shaking — literally — with chills and a temperature of 101. "I took one Tylenol and went to bed and woke up the next morning 90 percent improved, and by midday I was back to normal,” Poland says. “This is not an indication of something going wrong; it is an indication of a vigorous immune response.” Participants in clinical trials of both vaccines had experiences similar to Poland's. In Pfizer's clinical trial, for instance, 31 percent of participants ages 18 to 55 reported a fever after the second dose, compared to only 8 percent after the first one. Fatigue, chills, headache and muscle/joint pain were also more common after the second injection for both vaccines.
The good news is, older adults were less likely to experience vaccine reactions, the data shows. Among those age 55 and up in the Pfizer trial, 22 percent experienced fever after the second dose, and 3 percent had a temperature after the first dose. Schaffner recommends not making any big plans for the day after your scheduled vaccine appointment. 2. You should avoid taking pain relievers before your shot If you've been hearing stories about second-dose side effects, you may be tempted to take a pain reliever before your appointment. That's not a good idea, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unless you've been advised to do so by your doctor. Pain relievers taken preemptively ahead of a shot could dampen the effectiveness of the vaccine, Poland and Schaffner say. However, it's OK to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug like Advil or Motrin after your vaccine to treat side effects such as pain, fever, chills or headache. 3. The timing between doses doesn't need to be exact The second dose of the Pfizer shot is supposed to be given 21 days after the first; for Moderna, the recommended interval between doses is 28 days. However, if you can't get an appointment on the exact day — or if you have to miss your scheduled appointment for some reason — the CDC does allow some wiggle room. Although the agency recommends trying to stick to the suggested interval, it says the second dose can be given up to six weeks after the first. If your appointment is scheduled earlier than the recommended date, ask for a later appointment, Schaffner advises. “Your immune response will work perfectly well if you take more time,” he says. “But if you do it too early, the second dose may not invoke an optimal response.” 4. Your second dose should be from the same manufacturer as your first Doctors are already hearing from patients asking if they can get their second dose from a different manufacturer, often because they realize the other type of vaccine is offered at a location that's more convenient. But the CDC recommends against it: The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines “are not interchangeable with each other or with other COVID-19 vaccine products,” the CDC says. “The safety and efficacy of a mixed-product series have not been evaluated.” The CDC does allow the mixing of Pfizer and Moderna shots in “exceptional situations,” such as when the vaccine used for someone's first dose is no longer available due to a supply shortage, or if it's unclear which vaccine they got for their first dose. 5. A rash at the injection site isn't a reason to skip your second dose If you experienced a rash at the injection site three to 10 days after getting your first shot, that doesn't preclude you from getting your second shot, the CDC says, although it recommends getting it in the other arm. A small number of people have developed such rashes, sometimes called “COVID arm,” after vaccination. Doctors say it's likely a mild allergic reaction that can be treated with an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Benadryl. In guidance released Feb. 10, the CDC says the reaction is not believed to represent a risk for a more severe allergic reaction when you get your second dose. 6. You should temporarily avoid all other vaccines It might be time for your shingles or Tdap vaccine, but you should hold off if you are between COVID-19 vaccine doses. Because there's no data on the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines administered at the same time as other vaccines, the CDC recommends avoiding other immunizations in the two weeks before and after both doses. Holding off also helps prevent confusion about the cause of a reaction if you experience one. The CDC does allow exceptions in circumstances where avoiding the vaccine would put you at risk, such as a tetanus shot after a wound or a hepatitis shot during an outbreak. 7. Full immunity is not immediate It takes two weeks after your second dose for your body to build full protection to the virus. After that, you should have almost zero chance of developing severe disease if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19, Schaffner says. The CDC also says you no longer have to quarantine if you're exposed to someone with COVID-19 — as long as you meet these criteria: you don't have symptoms and it hasn't been more than three months since your second vaccine dose. One possible exception is immunocompromised people, Schaffner says. They will get some level of immunity, he says, “but they may not reach the 95 percent because their immune system is already somewhat compromised, no matter how strong these vaccines are.” 8. You still need to wear a mask Experts are divided about whether it's OK to hug your grandchild or gather socially with other vaccinated people after you're fully immunized. But they agree you should continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing in public. For one thing, there's a small chance you could get sick even after you've been vaccinated. In addition, it's possible that you could still carry the virus and silently transmit it to others who haven't been vaccinated, even if you don't develop symptoms. And there's one more reason. Until the country reaches herd immunity — the point when a significant portion of the population becomes immune to a disease — it's important for everyone to wear a mask to stop the spread of the virus, Schaffner says. “If we have some people walking around maskless and others not, people left and right are just going to discard their masks,” he says. “We are not ready yet for that for society.
