He also said people will still die from this and we still need to protect the vulnerable. Sooo I must have missed this. Where did @knapplc talk about how we shouldn't' be pushing to get more people vaccinated? Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 And these people think they are going to be able to test millions of American workers weekly. I had an employee check for at home tests yesterday and she called many places from central Nebraska all the way to Lincoln and couldn't find any. #clusterf*)k https://twitter.com/morningmika/status/1478777499098222598?s=20 This tweet was deleted. But, it showed a very long line claiming that if you want tested in the DC area, you wait for hours standing out in the cold. Link to comment

I know there are school districts that will not accept the results of a home test. What do you guys do at your work? Are home tests okay? 1 Link to comment

For the stupid f#&%ing OSHA mandate, they can use an at home test, but it has to be witnessed by someone. So, they can use teledoc, pharmacist, or someone designated here at work.....etc. So far, we require a test from a clinic for them to stay home and quarantine. We require them to quarantine for the designated amount of time, but they don't have to have a negative test then to come back to work unless they are still showing symptoms. 1 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 From the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" section of the tennis world: Dorkovic is anti-vaxx. He knew the rules, chose not to get vaxxed, and now he's going to get what he's earned. Link to comment

Ya I did now twice and Rand specifically says newborns (they aren’t eligible) and “the kids” which I would take to mean under 12 but take the true meaning and say under 18. The vaccination rate for under twelve is like 15-20% so the majority of parents including me are on the wait and see on the vaccine for Covid. He nowhere mentioned we shouldn’t push to get unvaccinated adults who haven’t had Covid to get vaccinated. Pretty important distinction you gloss over for some reason. 2 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So, looking at South Africa. It looks like their Omicron wave lasted about a month. The current wave in the US started around December 22nd. So, if it goes roughly the same, it should be back down around January 22nd. Their peak was roughly 8-10 days after the wave started. In the US, it appears that we have a peak at about 8-10 days which is right now. It will be interesting to see now if it drops off as fast as South Africa's did. 1 Link to comment
