Administrative
updates
January 18, 2022
COVID 19
update
Current status
Cases are surging and we continue to see record case
numbers each day, including in SLCO.
There are limited test resources in the state, so testing
numbers are not accurate right now.
The goal now is to reduce hospitalizations: long -term
care facilities, homeless services, less -vaccinated areas.
Vax, mask, and stay home as much as possible if you are
sick.
Vaccinations are still widely available and high -quality
masks should be worn by all.Visit thisisourshot.com
COVID 19
update
data update
Given insufficient testing, two
metrics are most important
right now: syndromic
surveillance and
hospitalizations.
Syndromic surveillance tells
us what's coming;
hospitalizations lag behind
diagnosis.
Right now, syndromic
surveillance tells us that
people with covid-like
symptoms are reporting to
clinics in record high
numbers.
Hospitalization in SLCO is
doubling every 14 days, with
43.5 new cases every day.
This surge is predicted to last
another 2-3 weeks until
numbers go down.
Hospitals will be
overwhelmed for another 5-6
weeks.

CDCIP Board Candidates.
Jenny Bonk. Current Employment: Consultant and Writer
Council District: At Large
Qualifications for the Board:
Jenny has great technical and budgetary experience due to her work as a consultant. She would be a
fantastic asset to reviewing any budget that an agency or project submits. Also, being a writer, she would
be able to hit the ground running reviewing grant applications. Furthermore, Jenny currently is the
Board Chair of the Care.org a non-profit addressing global poverty through education and economic
development of women and girls.
Jenny has served on boards the Women + Girls Research Alliance and Diversity and Inclusion committee.
This has given her the ability to see the impact nonprofits have serving vulnerable individuals.
I feel Jenny is qualified for the CDCIP board and I’d like to recommend her for the position.

CDCIP Board Candidates.
Jacob Skog. Current Employer: Department of Veterans Affairs, J.D.
Council District: 5
Qualifications for the Board:
Jacob is very outgoing and has identified that he has been passionate about serving people with
disabilities since he was young. His brother had a disability that confined him to a wheelchair, and he
realized that cities aren’t built for those non-able-bodied individuals. He’s volunteered with several
different organizations through the years on improving disability equity and access. He currently is a
working as a legal qualifier for low-income veterans benefits at the VA as he is an attorney. Most of his
day is interacting with homeless and low-income veterans so they’re able to gain access to or expand their
benefits given to them by their service.
Jacob has wanted to serve on a board where he can bring his expertise and background to serve
vulnerable individuals.
I feel Jacob is qualified for the CDCIP board and I’d like to recommend him for the position.
