  Planning to Roll Out the Vaccine at KSU

  Kennesaw State University notified faculty and staff on January 4, 2021, that the university would serve as a distribution site for the COVID-19 vaccine to students, faculty, and staff according to CDC guidelines. All employees and affiliates not slated for the first wave, which includes people over age 65 and designated first responders, will fill out a survey on January 14 to indicate their interest in receiving the vaccine and enable them to be added to the vaccination schedule. Although I am only 36 years old, I am teaching in person this semester, and I am eager to get the vaccine.

  Axiom Town Hall Covid-19

  This is a video Town Hall of oncologists who specialize in lung cancer to allow them to discuss their best strategies for contending with the COVID-19 outbreak and providing care for their patients. The most compelling and important testimony is provided by Dr. Marina Garassino of Milan, Italy. She focuses on the importance of a strategy for dividing hospitals into COVID-positive and COVID-negative sections and for allowing some cancer patients to stay at home because they do not require intensive care. She also focuses on problem in Italy of only testing symptomatic individuals for the virus. This is a problem being repeated in the U.S. at this time.
