Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

to 100+ employer vaccine mandate?

Yep, I am going for a run now and then I am going to make a bag of popcorn and watch NFL/read rants about pissed off people. I try to stay as neutral as possible such that I can laugh more.

 

[volbeast33]

Is that paid time off for covid or covid related symptoms

 

[volinbham]

wag the dog - will generate all sorts of media back and forth in an attempt to take the focus off Afghanistan, inflation, immigration, etc.

will go to the courts and suck up more media time.

 

[volinbham]

so if 75% of the eligible population is vaxxed why aren't we at herd immunity? there has to be at least another 5% with natural immunity.

I have a better chance of dying by suicide than of covid for my age group.

Why in the world would I get a vaccine?

He just said 200 million have been vaxxed…. There’s only 300 million Americans

 

[Carl Pickens]

This feeble old fool is an embarrassment on so many levels.

The othering is really worrying.

330+ total - he's going back and forth between total population and those eligible (12 and over). Media does this too.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Vaccinate 12 year olds….. f him

There are a large number of people under age 12….. here immunity should be almost reached at this point

Thanks Joe !

You just gifted both the House & Senate and the 2024 election to Republicans!

see Israel - they are at 78 - 80% of eligible vaccinated yet have had a major surge from Delta

This makes me wonder what the vaccine has to do with the variants….. I’ve seen videos on ADE and etc

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Well that didn't age well!

 

[volinbham]

let's stay together - except those bastards that won't get vaccinated; I know you are mad at them and I'm mad at them - they are screwing us all.

but let's stay together.

 

[volinbham]

and walks away...again

unemployment rate about to jump; healthcare worker shortage about to get worse

You might be right but don’t count on it, saw a report of a planned walk out at a hospital, only 7 low level nurses called in sick in protest, all 7 were fired.

Even if it's a 5% reduction that's a big hit to an already stressed system.

I’d even say the labor shortage in general will get much worse.

yep - hard to imagine that the 25% of adults who haven't been vaxxed were just waiting until there was a mandate - even if half are hold outs they are pretty much out of the labor market unless they go to small businesses.

Biden kept saying 80 million weren't vaxxed - if that's true even 10% of that number leaving the workforce due to the mandate brings unfilled jobs to 20 million.

if this is implemented before the courts get to it - it could wreak havoc on the economy
