The CDC s new guidance won t immediately change rules across Colorado.
Updated May 14, 1:39 p.m.
People who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the most part no longer need to wear masks or social distance indoors or outdoors, according to the latest guidance from federal health officials. What do Colorado s rules say? Here s an explainer.
What the CDC says:
If it’s been two weeks since your final dose, you don’t need to cover your face or maintain social distances in most situations no matter the occupancy or crowd size, according to updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Siris notes recent press speculation regarding Equiniti and confirms that it has submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Equiniti for a cash consideration of 170 pence per share (the Proposal ). The Proposal also sets out what Siris believes to be a highly deliverable process and timetable to allow it to make a binding proposal under Rule 2.7 of the Code.
Further announcements will be made in due course, but there can be no certainty that a formal offer will be made.
As required by Rule 2.6(a) of the Code, Siris is required, by not later than 5.00 p.m. (London time) on 17 May 2021, either to announce a firm intention to make an offer for Equiniti in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or to announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. This deadline may be extended with the consent of the Takeover Pane
“What’s there to live for? Why am I here?”
That’s what one 86-year-old man living alone in Thornton recently told Jayla Sanchez-Warren, who leads a regional agency on aging, as she tried to help him get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“He was struggling to get a vaccine and was frustrated. His wife had died, I think three years ago. He didn’t have family in the area,” she said. “He was feeling this malaise.”
She said his despair is a typical symptom of a “failure to thrive,” a term many experts in aging use to describe what they’ve been seeing a lot of this past year of the pandemic. Other symptoms include isolation, loneliness and depression. That’s often followed by a lack of desire, or inability to eat, or get nutritious food for yourself.

Coloradans 65 and older are now receiving vaccine shots after suffering the worst of both direct, and indirect, effects from COVID-19.
In 2020, COVID-19 ravaged the state s nursing homes, forcing an end to visitation by family and friends and lockdowns of residents. That in turn appears to have contributed to a hidden toll from the disease for some Colorado seniors.
Starvation.
As many as 100 more seniors than expected, most of them in nursing homes, essentially stopped eating in 2020 and died of what is clinically termed nutritional deficiencies on state death certificates.
COVID-19 has now officially claimed more than 5,500 Colorado lives, but as state health officials finish compiling records from the deadliest year in state history, hundreds of additional deaths, which appear to have at least an arm’s length connection to the pandemic, are becoming apparent.
