My workplace had a similar ridiculous system in June for the Return to Work ASAP demands.

Drive to work just to dial into virtual meetings since a majority of other departments didn't get the same unreasonable demand.

No one is working from home at my work, but they have everyone zoom into the big meeting every morning. Doesn't stop anyone from having smaller in person meetings, or just sitting at their desks stewing in everyone's exhalants, because masks are only required when you're away from your cubicle or office (not enforced at this time)

Most people I talk with a regular basis said it's pretty much the grapevine.

Other funny thing is all the emails after a confirmed case saying don't worry a deep cleaning was done (For a virus which spreads via aerosol method)

yes this was true for me as a teacher as well. I had a week before in-person began that I would have to do classes in the classroom but I was the only one there. Our elderly teacher who harangued like four doctors to get her medical stuff approved for virtual-only teaching also had to virtual teach in the classroom at school even though a.) students did not go into her classroom and b.) she was deemed vulnerable to infection

before she finally said gently caress it and quit, the district was making my girlfriend go into the school so she could have zoom meetings with the people in the office next to her

At my old job I commuted an hour and a half to an office in the Seattle area so that I could launch a remote session on a server in Canada and work from there, then commuted an hour and a half home; I did this for seven years

When the company shut down my office and relocated the branch to Florida I said, hey, why don't I just work remotely from home, since literally everything I do is on a server in Canada anyways - they said, no, what we want to do is move your family to Florida at great expense so that you can continue commuting to an office and working on a remote server in Canada

it's not. Don't worry about it. Having to type out N95/KN95/KF94 to cover your semantic bases is tedious.

... both are roughly equal. n95s don't come w earloop options. Filtration levels are p much equivalent. kn/kf masks are usually less expensive. Most medical workers can't use KF/KN because of reasons, so if you're worried about taking masks away from front line workers, don't fret w kf/kn.


All are good.
Respirators are better.

respiratory tract isn't nearly as spicy today as yesterday/the day before. Taste is still whacked, but I had a pastor torta and some birria consume earlier, and could taste good tastes (not @100% tho). No fever/chills/aches/coughing (*haven't had them p much at all this whole while).

Here is to hoping I'm over the hump and I had a mega mild case. Thanks, Phizer.

More than 100 gather in Vancouver to protest PeaceHealth vaccine requirement


quote:


VANCOUVER, Wash. — Some PeaceHealth nurses traded in their scrubs for protest signs on Saturday.

More than 100 people lined up along Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard in Vancouver this weekend to protest the recent vaccine mandate that many hospitals, including PeaceHealth, handed down earlier this week. Demonstrators were spread out, up and down the I-205 overpass, voicing their concerns from the afternoon into the evening.

PAST COVERAGE | PeaceHealth to require coronavirus vaccine for employees, students as cases increase

Organizers say their biggest issue is the mandate and the timeline of it. PeaceHealth issued the new regulation on Tuesday, saying that by August 31, all healthcare workers and students need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit a qualifying medical exemption. Those protesting this weekend don't believe the mandate is fair.

"We don't want to be forced to choose between putting something in our bodies that we're not comfortable with and a job that we love so dearly," said PeaceHealth nurse Melisa Cold. "We are happy to wear our N95 [masks] to protect you. We just want to have the right to keep our job. We don't want to be villanized."
KATU News reached out to PeaceHealth about the Saturday rally. A spokesperson said they support the right of individuals to express their opinions, but their priority remains on the safety of their caregivers and those they serve. They say the policy is a reflection of the hospital's mission to make sure every person receives safe and compassionate care. Read their statement:


After careful discernment, PeaceHealth, along with area health providers Legacy Health and The Vancouver Clinic, joined many health systems across the country and professional organizations including the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Nurses Association in supporting the required vaccination of health care workers.

With hundreds of millions of doses delivered in the U.S. and many months of real-world evidence to draw from, the vaccines have proved safe and effective. We believe it is imperative for our employees who are medically able to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

We support the right of individuals to express opinions in an unofficial capacity outside of work. Our priority remains the safety of our caregivers and those we serve. This new policy is a reflection of our mission to promote personal and community health and our vision to make sure that every person receives safe, compassionate care at PeaceHealth.


Officials said earlier this week that nearly 80% of PeaceHealth caregivers have already been vaccinated against coronavirus.
