Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

The major Hospitals in Atlanta just mandated vaccines for all employees. I still think it's ridiculous that they have to.

One of my close friends has a Niece with Cystic Fibrosis and she just had to go back to school this week. She now has COVID. I'm very worried for her, she's too young for a vaccine so she's going to take the full brunt of it with her condition. I know statistically kids fair pretty well, but damn that has to be scary.

So I don't really pray, but I do send intentions out to the universe, and your niece is in my thoughts and intentions.

Just because they don’t have to doesn’t mean they won’t do it.

Let's also add that in Texas, if Teachers test positive or become ill or was in close contact with someone who was infected, they have to use their own personal sick time. If they don't have sick time their job / pay could be at jeopardy.

So it's likely we will have teachers going to work in schools who could transmit covid as well.

Yea if there is a significant outbreak in a school they will loose a lot of staff.

Not that it would be shocking that Florida is doing shenanigans, cumulative death tolls, at least here, also include deaths that occurred in previous weeks (i.e. that weren't tallied in the week they occurred but confirmed later). That could account for the discrepancy but could also be indicative that they are damn slow at confirming them, possibly because it suits them with these stats.
 
School is starting soon. My younger son is 11, turns 12 in September, so he will be vaccinated soon. Until then he will be unprotected at school, except for his mask. Monday the school board is meeting, and one of the agenda items is whether or not to mandate masks for kids and employees. Needless to say, my wife and I are in favor of a mandate. We don’t want him to get Covid, and since I have asthma, I would prefer to not test my antibodies.

We have a strong contingency of anti-maskers here, and they’re planning on attending the meeting to make their opinions known, one of which is a coworker of mine who’s a pharmacist as well who no longer has school-aged kids. My wife and I now also plan on attending.

The reason things are worsening are because of the unvaccinated. Until children under 12 can get vaccinated, we have to rely on the grown-ups to do the right thing and protect them by getting vaccinated.

I found this the other day, apparently it came out when smallpox was rampant. Have we learned nothing as a society?

If the dude has no school age children, why does he have an opinion on this?

My daughter starts 1st grade on Monday and even though there is a mask mandate for students and employees, my wife and I are still worried. My Aunt who is special needs, lives with us and she is 62 with underlying conditions. The 3 of us are vaccinated. My daughter is really excited about actually going to school rather than remote learning. We had a meet and greet yesterday and her class is full with 25 kids and no 3 feet of distance. We are just hoping for the best, I guess.

As last year proved, masks work. Social diatancing enhances their efficacy, but even on their own, masks do help mitigate the tramsission.
