Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

Nothing wrong with that. I think it’s bs when people act like you have to have a passion for your job.

I have the same feelings towards mine, it’s cool but the only reason I do it is the money and benefits. It’s not like I wake up just stoked to spend 14 hours at work.

I can safely say the primary reason I work as an RN is the money. I like my job, but if I wasn’t able to clear 6 figures as is I would seek out a different career path.

If ya'll are RNs, California is where it's at. Ratios, best pay, best benefits, best compensation. Union allows us to call out whenever we want as long as a day before "kin care", and can use PTO to get paid for it. One of my jobs at UCSF: can contribute 19.5k to 403b (pre-tax), 19.5k to 457B (pre or post tax), additional 7.5% post-tax, and PENSION.

I'm trying to remember where I read it this morning but apparently the hospital is small and rural, nearest next hospital is 15 min away and they see like 15 births a month

I'm on Team No Fall Wave.

My hot takes (that I'm probably mostly wrong about):

Those who didn't get vaccinated have now been baptized by the delta variant.

Low efficacy of the vaccines against delta variant can be largely explained as a statistical anomaly.

Viva La France

 

[storm2006]

Somewhat misleading title but a step in the right direction.

A French government decree issued on Thursday bumped the United States and Israel from the country's "green" list, down to "orange," effectively prohibiting nonessential travel to France for unvaccinated visitors.

Under France's rules, unvaccinated travelers from either country will still be allowed in provided they have an essential reason for travel, however they'll need a negative Covid-19 test before travel and must quarantine for seven days on arrival.

It’s interesting because the countries within the EU are all taking different approaches to their ban of American travelers but if numbers keep surging then I imagine the EU’s “recommendation” may become a mandate.

Applaud because the more people like that who will no longer be taking care of people will be involved with saving lives. She obviously cares about herself more than others, and the less people like that involved with that type of responsibility, the better.

Americans never miss an opportunity to say to Europeans (especially the French and British) "you're welcome" in regards to their contributions to WWII. What they ALWAYS forget is the amount of restrictions that were imposed on the American populace to make the war effort possible.

United States home front during World War II - Wikipedia

The labor market changed radically. Peacetime conflicts concerning race and labor took on a special dimension because of the pressure for national unity. The Hollywood film industry was important for propaganda. Every aspect of life from politics to personal savings changed when put on a wartime footing. This was achieved by tens of millions of workers moving from low to high productivity jobs in industrial centers. Millions of students, retirees, housewives, and unemployed moved into the active labor force. The hours they had to work increased dramatically as the time for leisure activities declined sharply.

Gasoline, meat, and clothing were tightly rationed. Most families were allocated 3 US gallons (11 l; 2.5 imp gal) of gasoline a week, which sharply curtailed driving for any purpose. Production of most durable goods, like new housing, vacuum cleaners, and kitchen appliances, was banned until the war ended.[1] In industrial areas housing was in short supply as people doubled up and lived in cramped quarters. Prices and wages were controlled.

Brain swelling virus which ‘has no cure’ sparks new pandemic fears from experts

According to scientists the mortality rate of deadly Nipah virus ranges between 40 to 75%, which is far greater than the 1% rate for those with Covid-19.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk

At least with that one see wouldn’t have the whole “it’s 99.8% fine…” - can’t really make that argument at 40%+ but that doesn’t sound good.

 

[Blake P]

kdawg is it true that childhood vaccination is not mandatory for school, etc in the UK? I was told that recently and didn’t believe it, but everything I read seems to indicate it’s true.

Alaskan Senator Reinbold was banned from Alaska Airlines earlier this year for failing to follow the company’s COVID-19 rules on mask wearing.

The Eagle River lawmaker opposes wearing a mask, which public health officials have urged people to do to help limit the spread of COVID-19.

Data shows Covid booster shots are 'not appropriate' at this time, U.S. and international scientists conclude

An expert review of data concludes Covid vaccine boosters are not needed at this time for the general public, a group of U.S. and international scientists said.

www.cnbc.com

Actual article:

https://www.thelancet.com/pb-assets/Lancet/pdfs/S0140673621020468.pdf

One thing I want to emphasize in this article is that the group is saying there is still quite a bit that is unknown about post-vaccine immunity. Contrast this to the online facebook/Twitter “experts” that love saying that their various talking points are 100% certain. Science doesn’t work like that. That may mean that down the line, the view on boosters will change. Again, this is how evidence based medicine works.

Got kicked out of a neighborhood FB group this morning because I called the admin a moron for saying that wearing a mask is a form of oppression.
