They are the folks that employ people. The comments I am reading show a lack of understanding about how an economy works. If you want people employed, make it easier for the people who employ them.

I would think they would have learned that articulated buses and snow do not mix.

I think you would be surprised.

For most of the kids, this is not about breast cancer awareness, but is just silly adolescents disrupting the learning process. Leave these things out of the classrooms and lets get back to education.

In our state, three large boatbuilders went bankrupt because of this tax, and perhaps more importantly, many of the businesses that support the boating public either folded or had to lay off employees. It is an example of the short-sighted thinking of government. And people fall for it because of class envy.

I hope Nov. elections show we are moving in a different direction, but I am not hopeful.

We just drove that route and even with two lanes, traffic was tied up coming off the Fremont Bridge. The last thing we need is the road reduced to one lane each way.

It is a lovely city and the people are great. Seattle City Council people are morons and an embarrassment to us as Washingtonians. They know nothing of this law or of the problems facing this state from illegal immigrants. What do they not understand about ILLEGAL?

Insured people were told to go to their providers and get it. Unfortunately, it seems most providers didn't receive it. So where are the remainder of the doses King County received? Nobody seems able to answer that question at KC public health dept. Some investigative news reporter should be looking into this.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:50:22 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/67994127.html#IDComment41325023 http://www.komonews.com/news/67994127.html#IDComment41324750 I completely agree. King County Public Health Dept. has been particularly silent on the location of the providers who have received vaccine. They vaccinated only 3,000 uninsured people in a 5 day clinic last week, and told insured high risk people to contact their providers. We talked to Evergreen Hospital, Overlake Hospital, Swedish Hospital (who did get some earlier for HC providers), several pediatric clinics and OB-gyn clinics, and nobody had received the vaccine. Why can't the public health dept. tell people where to go if they are not going to have vaccine clinics themselves. I am tired of hearing about the shortage. The 74,500 doses King County received mid Oct. is somewhere. Please news reporters, look into the dispersal problems in King county.

However, it is true that pregnant women have been hit particularly hard by this flu, with an disproportionate number dying in their third trimester. Young kids are also getting very sick with this bug. And it is not the variety that affects the elderly and infirm in normal seasons. I think that people are correct in being concerned, but I wish they would respect the priority guidelines of the CDC and let the people most at risk get vaccinated first.

The 3,000 doses that King County dispensed, went to uninsured individuals, leaving thousands of high risk people (including pregnant women and small children) unprotected. They tell you to go to your own provider if you are insured, but very few of them have received anything. Where have the 67,000 doses delivered to King county in mid-October gone? Kudos to Snohomish county for protecting King County residents.

If you had insurance, they told you to go to your provider (although most hadn't received any vaccine). Go figure - they don't seem to understand the CDC protocol for highest risk patients. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:49:40 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/65879812.html#IDComment40631074 http://www.komonews.com/news/65724937.html#IDComment40318863 In King County they are only giving H1N1 to high risk individuals without insurance. (see their website) They will tell you to contact your provider if you have insurance (even though most do not have the vaccine). They do not ask individuals to show they are at high risk, nor do they ask for proof of citizenship, therefore most anyone without insurance can get it at KC public health. I don't know how they determine whether you have insurance. You may have to sign something. I think this is so wrong on so many levels.

After calling several hospitals and other providers, nobody seems to have received it (except for some doses for the health care providers.) I know there is a shortage, but where has it all gone? And why can't someone at the highest risk get it? Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:54:50 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/65724937.html#IDComment40291420 http://www.komonews.com/news/65325192.html#IDComment39834632 King County Public Health Dept. has received doses of H1N1 vaccine, but is only giving it to uninsured people. Our six month pregnant daughter who is insured, is not allowed to get it there, even though her provider (and hospital) don't have the vaccine yet. . Why is the PUBLIC health dept. not following CDC protocol and giving the vaccine to high risk patients, insured or not? It appears that Snohomish and Whatcom county are not allocating the vaccine in this manner. What happened to Public Health for ALL the public?
