Good vaccine talk. 

Hey, Colonel Cement started the talk of his brave stand...not us.  The dozens of posts that followed are merely intended to acknowledge his brave and patriotic sacrifice.  

All gave some, some gave all.  And Cement shouted on reddit.  

Cement, standing up for your freedoms...what a hero...

Was just as bad a year ago when it happened 

But then again, last year’s football season made everyone ragey 

I was on a 4PM flight today and had to wear a mask. My coworker on the 8PM didn’t. I was surprised it happened so fast (Delta Air Lines btw).

There are still, nationwide, about 3k dying per week. Does anyone have any info on who is driving these deaths? Are they fat/old unvaccinated? Fat/old vaccinated? Immunocompromised?

Username doesnt check out.

More like about 400.

What number do you get when you multiply 486 x 7? The 7-day moving average is the “daily” average of seven days. 

Just fucking A+ there. Where do you get this fake news of 3,000 dead a week??? My numbers indicate it is just over 400 a day! Next thing you know, some lunatic will claim 12,000 a month!!!

TBH, I don’t know if a seasonal component has been determined for Covid, like it has for the flu (cases concentrated in winter). Right now, mid April, flu cases are expected to be waning. I have no idea what should be the case for Covid.

My bad - thought that was the weekly total.

So you are offering your thoughts on appropriate Covid policies and protocols while not knowing if 400 or 3000 is the current weekly death toll? Cool.

Covid operates on a rigid time schedule.

Eh.  400, 3000, 10000...don't matter.  We have had vaccines since Jan 2021 - since then all covid protocols should be terminated.

I mean, we haven't had them widely available since anywhere near Jan 2021 for one. For two, uptake hasn't been what it should be, largely because a certain tribe literally refuses to stop spreading brainwashed bullshit about the vaccines. For three, we live in a society with finite resources, so no we can't just have sustained deaths at a certain level, due not only to the obvious human toll, but the strain on the overall healthcare infrastructure.  This isn't new information. 

I'm not arguing against the mask mandate being lifted with this, but I am saying if you aren't paying attention to the overall landscape, and/or don't care about the healthcare system or its employees, that you should sit out the discussions while grownups talk.

One of the reasons I'm for doing away w/ masks....more dead idiots.

truth be told, no I haven't been keeping up with the latest case counts and hospitalizations and deaths.  I haven't for over a year and nobody in my family or circle of friends who have been vaxxed have gotten sick.  Covid's over and if you don't want to get vaxxed that's on you.

Do not go on LinkedIN today unless you want to be bombarded with business travelers taking selfies of pudgy faces with some variation of "wow so blessed and glad to be on a plane without a mask for the first time in I can't remember how long #businesstravel"

Hope their planes corkscrew into the ground. The best part of masking was not having to see people's ugly faces. 

That’s a rational thought. Nothing weird about that at all.

What should have happened was the unvaccinated should have had their health insurance costs jacked up to whatever the numbers said that they as a group were costing in the healthcare system. I mean, this is generally how insurance works, The riskier groups get charged. If they couldn't do that, they should have jacked everybody's health insurance up and gave huge discounts to those that got vaccinated.

This, this, so much this.

so is there still a vax mandate for federal contractors?  i work for a large multinational corp that does business with federal agencies and i remember the reason they gave for requiring employees to get vaxxed was the federal mandate.  We have worked from home for last 2 years so it has not even mattered.  but now we are supposed to go in a min of 2 days a week.  This one person i work with i guess refused to get vaxxed and is now on double secret probation and is not allowed to work, even from home.  I guess they are trying to figure out how to let them go and not get sued later or something.

I know my company can require or not require people to get vaxxed at their discretion but was curious if the federal mandate is still in effect or has any time limit/expiration date.

Today Japan approved Novavax, joining Australia, Canada, India, and most of Europe.  Of course our corrupt FDA continues to drag its feet on approval.

Is there any update on the vaccines moving past emergency use status (and if that’s already happened I’ll take my dumbass award)?

And then we jack up insurance rates for the obese and the non compliant diabetics and those who don’t eat leafy green vegetables five times a week or don’t exercise. I’m all for it bc Americans only respond to their pocketbooks for health stimuli but it’s a slippery slope you aren’t prepared to go down. The AHA put a stop that anyway.

I haven't seen anything on it in a while but why is that?  I don't really understand the process but seems like taking a long time.
