 Team Tinker, I'm Colonel Hall-Sebran, your installation commander. We've been monitoring the local area closely, and based on what we have seen, I had decided to increase the health protection level to Bravo. The transmission rate we currently see is almost four times what it was last year. This means the virus moves faster between people and infects more people than ever before, to include those who have been vaccinated. In Oklahoma County, unvaccinated people are roughly 100 times more likely to be hospitalized than someone who is not. You can get a full list of what that means by clicking on the link below. Know that we will wear masks and be deliberate about defeating this virus here at Tinker. I don't know anyone who wants to be back in the masks, but we have clear direction to wear them and a mission that cannot slow down as we generate air power here for America. You and our mission are far too important not to take action. Please take the time to find out more about the virus and the Delta variant from the CDC. If you haven't been vaccinated, I encourage you to do so as soon as you are able. If you're still unsure about the vaccine, I encourage you to speak with your physician or public health official. Your medical group here at Tinker has appointments available for you to get the shot. As a reminder, if you are feeling ill or have been knowingly exposed to someone with COVID, I ask that you do not enter the installation, inform your supervisor, and get tested. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this amazing team. WildcatR1, out.
