Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

What are the guidelines for leaving kids in the car? Asking for a friend.

The answer is "Never". There will always be someone who will call 911. May not happen every time, but your luck can only hold on so long.

When I was working in retail management it was almost a daily occurrence that someone reported a kid left in a car even when it wasn't hot out or any danger. They either wanted us to page the store or call the police.

Interesting as neither NC or MA have any laws against it.

If someone believes your child to be at risk, they can call the police for any reason. The police either take the kids with them, or if the parent is there, they will write up the incident and pass it to DCSF. DCFS doesn't need a law to remove your child. The burden is on you to get your child(ren) back. It usually takes 6 to 12 months for a parent's rights to be reinstated. The parent doesn't have to be breaking the law, and these programs are rarely scrutinized since they are doing "what's best for the kids"--except when you remove children from loving parents who are having issues affording things like housing and child care. These programs get extra federal funding when they have children in their system, so they make sure to take their sweet time reuniting parents and kids because they lose funding once they child is placed back with the parent.
 
With Biden’s announcement of mandating vaccines yesterday, the CEO of my hospital just emailed the employees that we too will be mandating vaccines. Finally.
Honestly, it's about damn time. I can't remember what station my wife had on, but they were talking to some guest about this and I heard "Those of us who have been vaccinated and wearing masks for others have pretty much had enough"................I couldn't agree more.

My company won't mandate it, but about 2/3 of us have it and we're pretty much capped at that. We also had at least 12 people in the company get it over the past 1 1/2 years, with two of them being very sick. But wow, just the announcement has the anti-vaxxers here so upset. I just overheard an argument with one guy saying 'there is NO PROOF the vaccine does ANYTHING!'
I guess if a person is going to bury their head in the sand that deep, I can't argue with them.

I've heard similar arguments. I guess the fact that 90-95% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated means the vaccine is doing nothing? But they just tell you that that's not true and most of those hospitalized are vaccinated, with nothing to back it up.

Yep, that's where the stalemate happens. "Most of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated" is countered with "No, I know a nurse and she says that's not true."

There were a few outlying reports from somewhere in Europe,. I forget exactly what country, that had a high vaccination rate so most of the hospitalized were vaccinated but the actual number of hospitalizations was miniscule compared to the US. These are the kinds of reports they hang their hat on but lack the critical thinking skills to look ask why.
 
so 60% of patients in hospital with severe covid in israel in the moment are fully vaxed. and here is a nice article by a statistician that shows why that does not meian the vaccines are uneffctive but rather shows how effective they still are
Here the Analysis from Israeli data where actually more vaccinated are in zthe hospitals

Vaccine experts are coming out against booster shots for the general population (healthy people). This is a meta-analysis on why they decided that a booster is not needed at this time.

Current evidence does not, therefore, appear to show a need for boosting in the general population, in which efficacy against severe disease remains high. Even if humoral immunity appears to wane, reductions in neutralising antibody titre do not necessarily predict reductions in vaccine efficacy over time, and reductions in vaccine efficacy against mild disease do not necessarily predict reductions in the (typically higher) efficacy against severe disease. This effect could be because protection against severe disease is mediated not only by antibody responses, which might be relatively short lived for some vaccines, but also by memory responses and cell-mediated immunity, which are generally longer lived.
The ability of vaccines that present the antigens of earlier phases of the pandemic (rather than variant-specific antigens) to elicit humoral immune responses against currently circulating variants indicates that these variants have not yet evolved to the point at which they are likely to escape the memory immune responses induced by those vaccines. Even without any changes in vaccine efficacy, increasing success in delivering vaccines to large populations will inevitably lead to increasing numbers of breakthrough cases, especially if vaccination leads to behavioural changes in vaccinees.
