Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday February 2nd, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. 

Today - Over the weekend Governor Jared Polis visited pop up vaccination sites around the state to see the rollout firsthand. 

Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:

Today, we take you back to February 2nd, 1848 when The United States secured claim - but not control - all over the modern state of Colorado. On this day American and Mexican officials signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo near Mexico City, ending the bloody Mexican-American war.

Thousands of people attended a mass vaccination clinic at Coors Field last weekend. Meanwhile, many others got inoculated at smaller community clinics, including Governor Jared Polis. Reporter Jesse Paul tagged along with the governor and discussed the experience with reporter Lucy Haggard.

Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today:

Colorado started rolling out Phase 1 of new federal unemployment benefits this weekend. On top of other unemployment payments, thousands of out-of-work Coloradans received weekly $300 boosts going back to late December. But some who were eligible are still struggling to access the federal relief money. It’s not clear when Phase 2 of benefits will begin for those whose benefits ran out before December 27.

Pandemic-induced difficulties have hit the performing arts harder than the visual arts. Still, many groups are finding ways to get by. Not a single organization funded by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District has closed for good, and tax revenue for the district is only down 2.8 percent, thanks to online shopping.

Colorado’s vaccine priority list started with three phases, but now has subphases and sub-sub-phases. Advocates for the unhoused community worry that there’s no concrete plan for getting vaccines to people who live in shelters or on the street, even though they are more vulnerable to catching coronavirus.
