And if you think the screaming about government tyranny is bad now wait till that happens. Then again maybe having the national guard just going through and tranq darting people to give them COVID shots would be pretty cool.

Zeroisanumber posted:Gonna end up with states and hospital systems competing for labor, which means that bigger hospitals in wealthier areas are going to suck up all of the talent and the poor/rural/less-desirable areas are going to get hosed. I'm not even sure if this is accurate, because it isn't the highly paid positions that aren't getting filled, it's the techs and nurses and such that probably cant afford to move at all, let alone pay rent in a wealthy area. I think it'll just kind of degrade everywhere. I'm sure the already hosed poor and rural areas will hit failure first, but it isn't going to be from brain drain.

Peter Daou Zen posted:how is Tennessee doing so bad at this Tennessee turned down Medicaid expansion and so has a huge population of the working poor with no payer of last resort to cover catastrophic costs like, say, Kentucky (who took expansion) does. So you've got a huge population of people with really lovely jobs who aren't eligible for Medicaid but also can't afford to take time off to get better or go to the hospital. So, they're still going to work and spreading covid because they have no other options.

Maybe Covid hurt my heart even though I was vaccinated. I am very much fatigued still. my anxiety is kicking in and I feel short of breath but can’t tell if it’s just my anxiety or it’s real.

My 4yo is a little rough on them alcohol cleaners are apparently bad as they destroy the charged plastic filter medium, but you know this is a wild idea but i wonder if putting one in the dishwasher top rack and running it without detergent (or maybe even with it?) would work to clean it without destroying. it would be fascinating for Aaron mask guy to test how they filter after a run through the dishwasher.

I've been assuming the whole thing's snowballing (because the more people quit, and the more strain there is on the remaining people, the more likely they'll be to quit, too), and eventually it'll get to the point where everything just falls apart at once, because the one person left working at each hospital can't take care of every patient in the place alone.

It cannot be emphasized enough how good the medicaid expansion was for the working poor; without the ACA Medicaid expansion, you only qualify for Medicaid pretty much when you're unemployed. There is an ungodly pool of lovely jobs out there that don't offer insurance or offer programs that aren't realistic for someone making not a lot of money. Without the Medicaid expansion to the working poor. those people have no option during a pandemic except continuing to work while sick.

china must stop their ridiculous "zero covid" crackdown on human rights. they want to use a robust covid response as an excuse to clamp down on peoples' freedoms. Also, china has no control over covid, which is running rampant over there, and they are massaging their case and death numbers to make themselves look good. I can hold both these thoughts in my head at the same time, easily in fact

My mom already scammed into #3 but my dad was "waiting for approval" nope, only if dad has an approved immunocompromised condition right now. the friday vote was only an advisory panel and the FDA and CDC have to formally decide boosters can roll out to older people or others, which they haven't done yet. the CDC is planning a meeting wednesday I think. it's real loving dumb and they are dragging their asses. go get that booster

Woohoo let's see how one week out from a booster handles a covid+ partner in the household! He is being locked him in the bedroom to play video games, away from cat. He played golf with a coworker all day on Saturday. It was someone who sounds like a reasonable man with a pretty ball-busting wife so I just assumed he was vaccinated. lol no antivax just like 80% of his other coworkers. It was inevitable. What the hell is up with machinists being antivax? Even his manager with an immunocompromised and actively sick wife.

A funny note on that: the cops got wind of the planned protest so they shut down all public transport to the city centre on the day and flooded the streets with 2,000 cops (apparently one of the largest police operations ever seen in the country) so the protesters just assembled in a nearby suburb where there weren't very many cops on the ground and rampaged up and down the streets there. 6 cops ended up getting hospitalized and the ones who were trying to deal with the protesters are pissed that the riot squad was just hanging out a kilometre away twiddling their thumbs while a mob of bogan anti-vaxxers stampeded over the top of them.
