When I do get to shoot my neighbor in defense of my beans??? One of the few remaining interesting political moments will be if the there can be a floyd or Ferguson style protest under Biden. Ferguson happened back under the assumption of perpetual democratic presidents with Hillary inevitably following Obama. I don't think there will be any large white turnout under Biden no matter what (because otherwise Trump can win in 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but we will see

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Is this a thing that is important to people? All of my great grandparents died before I was born. Am I missing out on some blessed relationship that I could have had with an 85 year old woman when I was 6 months old? well the kid is four and her great grandmother experienced a lot of tragedy in her life, being born in Alsace before world war 2 kicked off, so it’s more a desire that my grandmother have some beautiful memories which are literally now totally out of reach. I’m sure your grandparents would have enjoyed meeting you even if you couldn’t remember it.

Caseman posted:Jesus how old is he? That's wild Thanks guys, I've been following along via his wife's updates on FB, and he definitely beat the odds. He's 41 or 42 and was in super good shape before this. He's not the type of person to be a proud anti-vaxxer at all, I honestly think that covid hadn't made much of an impact on him or his family before all of this, so he didn't prioritize getting vaccinated and wasn't really concerned about it at all. I think there's a lot of people out there like this; they're not malicious, but they won't take it seriously until it becomes personal.

Strep Vote posted:JFC I'm so sorry. Thanks, I do appreciate that, problem is stuff is just getting so bad and honestly part of hospital culture is just that nurses get assaulted a lot and nothing ever happens. Hospital policy is generally to never call the police or even actively discourage nurses from filing charges if assaulted. They also get blamed a lot. Case in point, (and holy poo poo this doctor better hope I never meet him), one of my wife's friends was assaulted really bad back in March while a doctor was in the room. After she was knocked unconscious the guy went after the doctor who literally didn't even call for help when the nurse was getting assaulted. He then filed a safety net against the nurse for safety reasons (he wrote that she should have controlled the patient better or called for help since it wasn't his responsibility to do so. He also wrote "when his hand grabbed my slender neck I was so scared I was about to die" but didn't even mention how the nurse was lying on the floor bleeding profusely from a head wound) In short gently caress everyone and gently caress a culture where nurses can be abused at will by patients and doctors.

Omnicarus posted:My sister in law is an X-ray tech that's almost 8 months pregnant and refuses to get the vaccine because she doesn't trust potential side effect reporting. Her hospital told her that she had to get jabbed and she flipped out and filed an HR complaint, threatened legal action against the hospital, and threatened to quit on the spot. Now she has to get the vaccine within two weeks of giving birth late October. My brother and the rest of my family have done everything we could to get her to change her mind but she is utterly convinced the vaccine will make her miscarry and shuts down any talk of getting any vaccine hard. We're now just feeling like every day she goes into work is playing Russian roulette. I don't have much of a point with this post outside of expressing frustration. we have a similar situation with pregnant family here who have been spending too much time around antivaxxers and are now repeating the “can’t live in fear” line just feels like a matter of time

Ursine Catastrophe posted:this except it'll be jewish weather machines at fault Covid really was the trial run for climate change. And in the scope of climate change, currently we're in the first little wave of infections from spring 2020.  Pingui posted:For all the "we have to learn to live with the virus" and "it's endemic", in the very best case scenario, we can't be more than a couple of months out from this being patently absurd to even the densest of people. "No one could have known" only goes so far, so what is the next step here for the people in charge? Anyone care to guess?

Lovelyn posted:They offered an extra $900 and no one picked up so they raised it to $1,000 The fun thing that most people don't think about with situations like this is when you're this short-staffed it's obviously dangerous for patients, but if something gets missed by a nurse because they're overworked do you think it's the hospital that suffers? Of course not, it's the nurse who loses their license! Every single dangerous thing a nurse does they put their career on the line. It's great!

I remember back in March 2020 I was talking to my child brother who kept saying COVID was just the flu. I predicted 500k dead and thought that was a tragedy. We're gonna pass a million by Christmas. With numbers now being totally hosed by the Biden administration there's no way to know how bad it really is except by the fact that when I go out in public almost everywhere is dead.

There were already laborers organizing mass protests in the streets that were not covered by the media because of Afghanistan, so it'd have to be so bad that they're forced a coverage

I thought we were going to have like 3.3 million in the US dead within like a year. Which might make me sound like the real doomer but I thought it was going to kill quick and burn itself out. Now it's going to kill 5 million over 6 years.
