Glad to have IBM help close to home, and where I grew up! Rhode Island got kids back to school, despite the pandemic. For my own kids I wish Mass did as well! IBM GBS helped modernize the state’s COVID-19 operations! ibm.com/case-studies/state-o…

Latest snow map. Notice the very tight gradient right at the water's edge. This could go either way. It's been highlighted by everyone about the coastline. Could be a significant difference from Logan to Brighton in this situation.

Due to extremely high demand and limited vaccine supply, it will take time book a #COVID19MA vaccine appointment. Residents should continue to check for appointments, as they will be added on a rolling basis: mass.gov/CovidVaccine
ALT How do I get a COVID-19 vaccine? 1. Find your priority group and an estimated timeline for eligibility. If you are eligible: 2. Find a COVID-19 vaccination location. 3. Have important documents ready (such as your insurance card if insured) to schedule an appointment and fill out the self-attestation form. Go to mass.gov/CovidVaccine for more information. Have medical questions? Contact your doctor.

Everywhere I go, I wear a face covering. I know this is one of the most important ways to keep myself and others safe from #COVID19. I need you to wear a face covering whenever you leave home today to stay healthy.

#Stayhome for your parents, grandparents, friends, siblings, children, neighbors, first responders, healthcare workers, fellow Bostonians and for yourself. When we’re all in this together, we’ll be able to stop the spread, and be with one another sooner.

Tomorrow, we’ll be deploying sound trucks in Hyde Park, Mattapan, Dorchester, East Boston, Roxbury and Roslindale with a simple message: help us stop the spread of #COVID19. 📢
Let us know if you hear one in your neighborhood!
