Can anyone explain why I’ve had 3 different #covid19 booster appts at @CVSHealth & @Walgreens in the DMV and they’ve all either been cancelled or run out by the time I arrived for my appointment? I’m persistent because I care about #vaccines but this is a huge barrier for many

(UPDATE): Correction on the Daily Roundup from this morning. If you’re in Baltimore, you’re good to go to watch the Bachelorette finale tonight. Commanders/Ravens game is airing on NBC, not ABC. If you’re in DC, you can only watch the finale on CHARGE! tonight. It’s not on ABC.

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act. If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.
