Wait, with how quickly COVID loving ramps up again and again, doesn't that mean a vaccine-only strategy would be . . . bad?

Nah, couldn't be. If it were, we'd be doing something different.

Did the union vote yet on the deal? I don't see anything saying they did except the propaganda reports that jumped straight to "back to school"

Vote is happening today, results tonight

They are in school today, without students. unless it's the school in the white cop neighborhood where the teachers never left. I think they are in school today.

Remember when I said they'd abandon the vaccines and just force everyone back to work anyways?

I think even if you do get vaccines that work on variants, they won't bother to push them to the population. You'll be able to get them if you want, probably, but they're going to officially give up on any public health response very soon

i have to pee in a cup for med poo poo and every day i find myself thinking getting high would be more effective.

no. all the news has said is that the new variant is mild. maybe some people who have paid close attention to the news in the past three days are aware that a new wave has started, is starting, or is about to start. what exactly that means is not clear, except maybe that you might see a suggestion to wear a mask in a few weeks.
