Pinecone Sample posted:Southwest canceled 30% of flights this weekend because the antivax union pilots are either using their PTO before they quit or using it all at once as some kind of slowdown against the mandate. Southwest is willing to say "staffing issues" but not that it is a labor dispute. I was confused but now understand this meme I just unfortunately saw on Facebook

Bad Purchase posted:There are some very unhappy people where I work threatening to quit because we got the vax mandate recently too, but so far every one I know about is one of the self-important do-nothing manager types, mostly old, who probably get paid double what their replacement will... if they even bother to replace them. There will definitely be some short term disruption if 5% of the company suddenly resigns, but this is the only time I've actually felt some optimism about the future of the company in 5+ years. A lot of deadweight is threatening to voluntarily break loose right now. Sadly, based on all evidence so far, despite 30% of people surveyed saying they absolutely would quit their jobs over a vaccine mandate only 1% or so of people at any given company actually follow through.

The pilot union is claiming that there is no collective action over vax requirements, which seems like a weird thing to claim if there is. Maybe “you know what you have to do but we don’t want to take the public heat”, I guess?

Not that it is a concern out here in Japan, but when I found out Southwest wasn't going to require their staff to vaccinate or mask up I just mentally moved them to "never, ever, ever flying that service ever again".

Southwest is the one airline I've experienced whose staff is willing to get on a passenger's poo poo for dicknosing or any non-compliance. At the gate, on board, 100% of the time.

Does anyone else feel like they can't get drunk after having SARS-CoV-2? I'm unable to find anyone talking about this because it's flooded with talk about tolerance increasing from excessive drinking while staying at home. I'm not saying I'm invincible, it still makes me tired, but that's pretty much it, there's nothing noticeable or enjoyable in it.

heads up to the UK immunocompromised; this new "super cold" is incredibly transmissible, far far more so than covid. The kicker is that getting covid *and* this cold is looking to be absolutely deadly. So if you can shield then do shield.

The company I work for had union negotiations kick off the day before the vaccine mandate was announced. The company refused to add carve outs or additional benefits because we are largely a non union company and everyone was under the same vaccine requirement. We were already at a 98% so it was also less controversial than in other companies/sites. I heard horror stories about some of our southern sites with regards to infections and vaccination rates/resignations over the mandate.

Yeah, I caught *a* cold - dunno if it's the one everyone's talking about but it came on really quickly, like 12 hours from "hmm my nose feels a bit funny" to "There is an elephant in my sinuses" - and it was freaking me out about my covid precautions to the point I spent a good couple of hours retracing every step. Unless it has a *looong* incubation time and I caught it at London Stadium, 4 days before the first symptom, I must have caught it in one of the two shops I went into for like 5 minutes each the day before, or just outdoors on a walk (and I deliberately choose to go for walks in fairly quiet areas, not for biosecurity but because I'm an antisocial bastard). Actually I'm not convinced it's unrelated to the weirdly dystopic attempt at positivity I walk past every time I go to London Stadium:  Always feels like a warning, or maybe a threat.

Maybe “you know what you have to do but we don’t want to take the public heat”, I guess? It's a stealth strike. When unions can't strike openly due to legal issues or brutal repercussions, they have some well known tactics like work-to-rule or calling in sick during a critical part of a project. Pilots are critical to operations at all times, so I guess calling in sick will work great.

Codeine during the day and Night Nurse does seem to be keeping the worst of the symptoms at bay and it lasts about 5 days. Part of it is psychological because no one has had a cold in 2 years and we all forgot what they were like but it really does seem to be incredibly virulent. Unless you are in N95 then someone coughing 2m away unmasked will give you this cold no question. I’m doing special needs PA work for young adults now and it’s gone round the groups like wildfire.

My mom’s friend and her husband are in a senior’s home. They saw one of the residents at breakfast and she was dead by noon. She died of Covid, knew she was sick and I guess she didn’t have to isolate. Her breakfast table was filled with unvaccinated elderly people. There are no restrictions on visitors or masking in this home. Now my mom’s friend is terribly worried about her or her husband with dementia getting Covid. This is largely why my mom hasn’t visited them since they moved into the home a few months ago.

I know a lot of people who have lived thru this without restrictions, or only the most perfunctory dicknose masking, mask 80% below their mouth, etc. I’d say they’re poor or dumb, or selfish, but they’re just human - I guess…

poll plane variant posted:This just sounds like another covid that doesn't show up on tests like we saw in France last year Nah, it really is just a fairly vicious head cold. Like everything I've read about mild covid makes it sound very obviously different from this. I've had it (this cold, not covid) and my experience (and that of a few people I know who've had it - and it's worth pointing out this seems to have absolutely *ripped* through the UK in the last two weeks) is that it's just alternating blocked/runny nose, lots of sneezing, elevated but not fever-level temperature, with no body/muscle aches, no brain fog beyond what you normally get when you're not feeling well (i.e. as soon as you actually concentrate it's mostly fine), and very mild coughing like you normally get with a head cold from snot dripping down, and the worst of it over in 2-3 days. My particular case is lurking a bit in my sinuses and ears but again that's something I almost always get with a cold. From what I've heard mild covid (and I mean this in the "Oof, feel a bit rough" vernacular meaning of mild, not the "Not quite bad enough to require hospitalisation" meaning people usually have for covid) almost always features a high fever, aches and fatigue, and a "wave" thing where your temperature and symptoms wax and wane through the day, and generally goes on for 5 or more days. I'm not ruling out a new, much more contagious but much milder variant that eludes standard tests, but for right now it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck so I'm going to assume it's a duck. Of course if it *is* this then that might not even be such a bad thing, a variant that outcompetes Delta but which you get over quickly is about the only way we're getting out of this poo poo now with the unwillingness of most governments to do the needful. (FWIW - double-dosed with AZ as of late May)

Something like that happened in NZ during the winter. No body had had major colds or anything for a while since our successful lockdown in 2020. Then we had travel with Australia and also all our domestic stuff started up again and everyone started getting this nasty virus called RSV, kids especially, and it was a bit of a thing for a while.

POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST CDC's COVID-19 Protocol: You can be around others after: *10 days since symptoms first appeared Lol I'm positive today but can go back to seeing people tomorrow? I'm fully vaccinated with Pfizer since May. I always wear a mask and don't go to bars or restaurants. My kid goes to a preschool full of chuds, and he had a cold two weeks ago. We got him tested and it was negative (he previously got Covid from his school over the summer.) My wife and I got his cold symptoms, but hers have been much worse so she got tested and was positive. I went after her test and am positive myself. Felt like just a minor/normal cold - sore throat progressing into sinus congestion over a week. Loss of taste and smell when it hit my sinuses, which is normal for me with colds. No fevers or anything like that. Did have some general body aches for a day last week.

Canadian government figured the way around all the CBA stuff was that the Feds just made “must be vaccinated” a requirement for any federally regulated industry. Like the Canadian equivalent of the FAA wrote employees must be vaccinated in their rules that airlines have to follow so they (and trains, banks, insurance companies and anyone else that the government makes rules for) can fall back on “welp, those are the rules we have to follow to not get shut down. Get your shot or gtfo and blame Trudeau but it’s not our call,” if they are too chickenshit to do it themselves.
