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.

Does macphisto have an update on his prison hospital project?

Surely part of this is people out because of positive tests, no?

Vaccination fixes this.

Leaky vaccines reduce this.

All vaccines are leaky.

Leady vaccines still fix this.

60% vaccination with a 80% effective vaccine = 50% protection

So, new talking points getting warmed up? Gonna try to pin *waves hands* all this on the unvaccinated?

Pinning 90% of this on the unvaccinated, yes. The lion’s share and then some.

Five straight days of indoor quarantine with a toddler is really brutal for everyone, but mostly I feel bad for the kid.

Just glad to hear the kiddo has energy; that kept my spirits up when ours was positive. Sounds like everything will be fine.

Ah yes, now its a moral failing to not get boosted 90 days (or whatever the new guidance turns out to be) after your last jab. This is totally tenable, gonna work great.

It’s more of a practicality at this point.

Yes. I absolutely am.

We're doing everything we can to make life difficult for the unvaccinated and exclude them from society, but they're still not getting their shots. What's the next step?

I wonder what the percentages are of people testing positive that have symptoms as opposed to someone testing positive but with no symptoms. In some places they'd both have to stay home.

Pre-pandemic, we were all going to work and school with cold symptoms and no one batted an eye. Now, protocols are so weird that hockey games are cancelled because 4 or more players test positive (but are not showing symptoms)

Weird.

Attacking their livelihood, remember?

That's not working either! What about taking away their kids? Families belong together...unless they're not on board with The Science™.

No we're not.
