Remember the state committee that kept meeting this week in non-public meetings?
Turns out some of the group members got nasty, threatening emails, which prompted @OHAOregon to stop making the meetings public.
@FedorZarkhin with the scoop. https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2021/02/hateful-racist-emails-prompted-state-to-close-coronavirus-vaccine-equity-group-meetings-to-public.html

Speaking of scoops, @FedorZarkhin also pressed for answers about how many care centers have signed up to get shots for vulnerable residents.
Turns out, a whole lot of these facilities have not. https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2021/02/hundreds-of-large-senior-care-homes-yet-to-receive-coronavirus-vaccine-despite-browns-erroneous-claims-to-the-contrary.html

Curious how Oregon is allocating its vaccines next week among seniors 80+, teachers, prisoners and people in 1a who haven't been inoculated yet?
@o_aimee has those answers and more. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2021/02/good-news-gov-kate-brown-says-feds-will-up-covid-19-vaccine-shipments-to-oregon-by-20-timeline-for-oregonians-to-get-vaccinated-improves.html

Finally, take a look at the Oregon ZIP codes that recorded the most new cases, and the most new cases per capita, for the week ending Jan. 31.
Unfortunately, Oregon saw a 16% increase in cases.
