Just found out an older colleague who transferred to another location caught covid. He was telling me how he was going to a new years party couple months ago and was against the vaccination when offered at work. Some people don’t learn until it hits them

That's as bad as DC government.

My mother works for them and at her building literally every week an email is sent out saying someone tested positive. She has bad asthma (worse than mine) so she hasn't even been in the building since all the lockdowns started last year..

You can use sick days but those are limited to however much you have saved. With a minimum week or so out of work, all it takes is a couple quarantine periods and your SOL

I was in Orlando during a lot of the pandemic and if the maga folks were the only ones to worry about, we may have been fine. I knew plenty of liberals going out to bars when they opened back up, eating indoors with big groups, going to maskless weddings, or going to crowded gyms. I can’t even make this up. The first day gyms opened back up my gym posted on their IG story a pic of a sign saying “stay safe please stay 6ft apart” and another sign with safety guidelines, and a few pictures later posted a row of 8 treadmills side by side completely full with people giving thumbs up to the camera and all were maskless. That gym has never followed a single covid protocol, even when the city had a mask mandate. You can’t escape the stupid in Florida.

A LOT of people can't work from home though.
Being able to work from home is a Privilege that many lower-income folks simply don't have the option to do.
So not having anyone to watch their kids (school) is preventing many from going back to work.

Yea I know everybody situation is different...I just don’t like how it seems some districts are trying to push the in person as if it’s a need for everybody...Shoulda keep it as an option and proceed accordingly, don’t have to have ALL teachers back if all the students don’t even want/have to come back...And the timing of all this is ridiculous

Yeah I really want a lot of land but think i think i'll essentially try and stick to the liberal bubbles. Lived in the both types of places and the peace of mind for a black man is a little different (so is the pay despite the red propaganda).

It is an economic decision more than anything. SImply put, the more people working, the more people spending. That is what the bottom line is all about.
I don't think they TRULY care about "Learning Loss" (as they like to put it) nor do I think they care about folks getting sick.
MOST people won't die from it and will recovery nicely, so they can deal with a few people getting sick if it means the economy can be rebuilt. (Locally and Nationally)

Yea but how many times throughout the history of this country have people (especially those well off) had to watch their OWN kids for an extended period of time. It is wild when you think about it. (Not arguing, just saying)

I agree. Think about how many misdiagnosis of behavioral disorders and medications are been prescribed? I’d love to see those numbers

it is interesting to consider that some folks are finding out they don't really want kids if they actually have to deal with them all day.

the amount of workers taking the vaccine so low that your hospital needs to bribe them?

Yea, he made his own bed with that one. (No disrespect)Just found out an older colleague who transferred to another location caught covid.

It is a harsh realty that I don't think many people consider. I also wonder how it makes them feel internally to realize they don't REALLY want to deal with their own kids for those 8 hours that they have traditionally had the option of dropping them off to the schools.

It’s a legit thing right now, alotta folks realizing they hate or not built for that true full time parent life...A lot different than the “super mom/dad” they present themselves on social media
But in America it’s always been paycheck before health/family/overall happiness

it's a weekly drawing for everyone who has gotten the vaccine thus far. i think our numbers are like 82% out of all 3 campuses of our hospital which is actually a lot higher than the rest of the hospitals. unfortunately, it seems the lower income workers have the highest percentage of not getting the vaccine. the ultimate goal of course is 100% so this is just another way of getting to that point. a lot of the hospitals are all using incentives to get everyone vaccinated.
you would think the medical workers would all get them but unfortunately there's a lot of idiots here too. i know a bunch of high risk folks, who are educated, and are still not getting the vaccine with no logical reasoning. these people work with covid positive patients all day long too. it makes no sense.

Bloomberg's New Vaccine Tracker Estimates When Life Will Go Back to Normal
"Bloomberg has painstakingly put together all available data on COVID-19 vaccinations into one interactive tracker that estimates how long it will take for life to return to normal. "
Bloomberg has estimated that the world needs almost 7 years to reach herd immunity at the current rate of vaccination — 4,607,324 doses per day, globally. According to Bloomberg, Israel will be the first country to reach herd immunity, and the U.S. will reach herd immunity “just in time to ring in the 2022 New Year.”

I mean yea, I’m white so it’s definitely different. Though I am an immigrant so that sort of complicates things for certain people.
Generally speaking though, by us left leaning people moving to certain states where there are cities where we could help sway the vote (say an Atlanta/Savannah, Charlotte, maybe some of the Texas cities) we will move the needle more towards the direction we want vs. staying in our California or northeast bubbles. Being able to flip some of those states should be our goal.
