My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Someone I know had a job at a care home and just up and quit without notice because it was better than getting the roni. They weren't being given proper protective gear, and there were no procedures for dealing with suspected cases other than being told to wear a mask and don't spend too long with the sick people.

In my local Facebook page there have been many more posts asking for people to work at assisted living facilities and as caregivers than anything else job related. So yeah, either a lot of people are getting sick or just straight up deciding they’d rather do something else than be in the line of fire. Most of these people usually have big hearts to begin with so I’m sure it isn’t easy for them...I’m sure management has Continued to take the typical approach of using statistics and “acceptable losses” when referring to the elderly. They are pretty close to dying anyways, right?

After Anonymous Tip, 17 Bodies Found at Nursing Home Hit by Virus

....

By Monday, the police in a small New Jersey town had gotten an anonymous tip about a body being stored in a shed outside one of the state’s largest nursing homes.

When the police arrived, the corpse had been removed from the shed, but they discovered 17 bodies piled inside the nursing home in a small morgue intended to hold no more than four people.

motherfuckers making it ever increasingly more difficult any possibility of doing anything social that is cool and good at night in a more proximate future

because even if things were much better, reopening bars and stuff will require some bracing to handle a wave anyway (like in south korea), which would mean a couple more weeks or more of maintenance... aaaaaaagh
