Anybody want a Corona?

Another anecdote… I have a friend who works in healthcare. They have providers that are sometimes getting four times their normal hourly wage to cover shifts, because people are so burned out. People are also turning down $1500 bonuses to work a single shift because the money is no longer worth their free time.

I’m to that point with all my employees. I’ve had to close centers a few times already due to not having people to work.

Nobody wants to work anymore SMDH.

I don’t think it’s necessarily that with my people. They’re being overworked to the point where they just can’t. Hell, the only day I’ve had off since Thanksgiving was Christmas and that’s only because we were closed. It’s getting to the point where we have so many out and so many overworked that we’re all sick of it. If I had an offer right now for comparable wages, I’d be gone tomorrow. It’s just not worth it.

I heavily suspect that this is the case with most people, contrary to right-wing canards.

Obv worse in the US, but relevant nonetheless.

This is what a 16-hour hospital shift is like for me while Omicron rages

What you've got here is a contradiction in terms my man.

At work, we’ve had to postpone all non-urgent procedures to 4 weeks out. Sounds like other Seattle hospitals are doing the same.

Meanwhile, idiots.

TUMWATER, Thurston County — Late last week, disturbing rumors started to fly on social media.

The state Board of Health, they claimed, was about to authorize local health officials and police to round up people for refusing to get coronavirus vaccines and forcibly lock them up in quarantine facilities.

It wasn’t true. There was no such plan.

But the falsehood spread with omicron-like rapidity, fueled by misinformation from anti-vaccine activists, some conservative radio hosts and at least three Republican congressional candidates.

By the time the health board convened on Wednesday, the usually obscure panel had been deluged with more than 30,000 emails, hundreds of calls and requests from some 8,000 people to testify at its virtual public meeting. Some of the messages included threats to board members and staff.

In addition to the phone calls and messages, a couple hundred protesters showed up Wednesday morning outside the Department of Health offices in Tumwater, just south of the state Capitol in Olympia.

They raged at the nonexistent quarantine plot. Some demonstrators waved signs comparing vaccine mandates to laws passed in Nazi Germany, and accusing Gov. Jay Inslee of tyranny and treason. Signs claimed state officials were setting up internment camps, with one referring to Joint Base Lewis-McChord as “America’s Auschwitz.

Sounds like a whole lot of hearsay from both sides. The author, if this is the entire article, is pretty light on sources and proof.
