Shelter In-Place COVID-19 Blog July 2025

California issued shelter in-place orders on Tue Mar 17, 2020. I have been logging the highlights and lowlights. A cool month literally speaking. Temperatures were cooler. Most of the month was calm and cool for me. Maybe, the month was too cool in a negative way. However, positive numbers increased.

Mon Jul 7. US Health And Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., US Food And Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, National Institutes Of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and acting Director Of The US Center For Disease Control (CDC) Matthew Buzzelli are being sued for limiting access to the COVID-19 vaccine. The US medical associates, medical professionals, and scientists filed the lawsuit in US District Court in MA. The lawsuit stated Kennedy and the Trump administration acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" by changing the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations as unlawful. Kennedy said the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer recommended for pregnant people and healthy children on the CDC immunization schedule in May 2025.
