Initial vaccine refusal rate for workers at senior living/care facilities was upwards of 70% in some locations. It’s since gone down thanks to a very intense and personal persuasion campaign, but vaccine skepticism is still too high among certain elements of the medical community- not necessarily among doctors and nurses, but those who work in support roles.

ASAPI posted:That is insane. Does anyone know if the split is occurring along a specific line? Do they just hate Trump and don't trust it or are they hard core and feel vaccinnes are "infringing on their rights?" This WaPo article goes into greater detail but here’s relevant quotes: quote:

It’s really unfortunate, but understandable in context. Fortunately it does seem that the personal persuasion touches by supervisors and colleagues is helping to reverse this.

She’s a small business owner and a patriotic American who loves her country so much that just got caught up in the moment. She’s got a bright future ahead of her and she had really been looking forward to this special trip for so long, so what’s the harm in letting her go? It’s not like someone facing her kinds of charges would be a flight risk or something. This is of course in direct contrast to that 16 year old kid who spent three years in pre-trial detention at Rikers for the unspeakable crime of stealing a backpack.

Every single one of my friends with kids has had a COVID scare in their home, or has repeatedly had their child care disrupted, because workers at their daycare tested positive. In some cases, more than once. It makes me feel really, really glad I don’t have kids. Also, with Cuomo opening up stadiums and indoor dining in Feb and weddings and such in March, right as new variants are starting to become entrenched in the US, I fear that we’re basically inviting vaccine resistance and more death at this point. This should be the time where we hunker down and hold what we got for the final push, not start to cast off the restrictions because some people are getting vaccinated (still too slowly despite the Biden administration’s push to get as many shots in arms as possible.)

Of course Biden is going to call on Congress to do something on guns on the anniversary of the Parkland shooting, but as was pointed out, that doesn’t mean they’ll do it, at least not imminently. I’d like to think they’d understand that doing anything polarizing and useless as an AWB (rifles of any sort, including semi-autos or bolt actions, represent a fraction of the overall deaths caused by firearms) will absolutely kill the House and Senate in 22-24 and/or invite a very embarrassing SCOTUS ruling, but then again this is the party that never stopped living in the 90s while also thinking people like Mayor Pete are the future of the party. I could get behind all transfers and sales, especially for handguns, needing a background check so long as NICS was made relatively instantaneous and accessible. That and for straw purchasers to be prosecuted at something higher than the abysmally low rate that they currently are.

Oh, and he just happened to have worked on Trump campaign stuff and was a GOP activist. His Instagram profile has pictures of him at the White House as recently as December. Turns out there is a cabal of pedophiles at and near the highest levels of power, they just happen to be Republicans instead of Hillary Clinton.

I’ve reported so much actual hate speech on Instagram to absolutely zero effect. Always get a notification that “we’ve reviewed your report and found that it didn’t go against our community guidelines,” even for posts that say poo poo like “the day of the rope is coming.” Now I know that the bar is posting stuff that’s against billionaires parachuting in and stealing chunks of someone’s home. Thanks, Zuck!

Meshka posted:A total of five people outside of DC give a poo poo on who the OMB director is. While that may be true, it’s pretty funny to see how both the left and right hate her, and the only ones enthusiastic about her nomination are the Lanyard-class of centrist Dems who think she’s a progressive. Anecdotally speaking, I’ve heard from a few people I trust (who don’t know each other) that she’s abrasive, a bad boss and has repeatedly called and threatened journalists when they’ve run unflattering stories about her and didn’t “clarify their remarks.”

When I had my ACL reconstruction/meniscectomy a number of years ago, my last sensation after they gave me the general anesthesia juice was feeling it travel up my veins, and then my last thought was “Whoa, this is weird. Is this what dying feels like? AW CRA-“ Next thing I know I’m awake in the recovery ward and shivering violently, which was apparently my body reacting to the trauma of the knee surgery even if I couldn’t feel it. A shot of Dilaudid and I was off to see the wizard again! I don’t like being put under and the opiate nightmare/night terror that I had two weeks later scared me off of Vicodin and Percocet for good. Good thing I do nice safe activities that don’t carry a high risk of injury like mountain biking!

That Works posted:I think people are taking issue with the parent tweet. I’m feeling annoyed by his tweet, and maybe one reason is because he lives in the Trinidad neighborhood of DC, which is a hood that has become increasingly gentrified and displaced its older, poorer Black residents into Maryland as predominantly White people bought low-cost real estate and have ridden the home equity wave since. I also don’t know what his family situation is, but I can tell you that if you aren’t lucky enough to have childcare subsidized by your employer, you’re talking about costs approaching the level of a second mortgage payment for two kids. A lot of my friends and I make over $150k in household income but a bill like that would push a lot of us dangerously close to that “can’t afford a sudden $1,000 expense” level, and no one’s buying a $6 latte to go with their $11 avocado toast at that point. There’s a hectoring tone in this guy’s tweet. Not all industries and cities are created equal when it comes to careers, and just because someone lives in a place like NYC or DC or LA doesn’t mean that everyone there is living in the lap of luxury. Hell, in my neighborhood, if I go a half mile in one direction, it’s ambassador’s residences and old money mansions, but a half mile in the opposite direction results in public housing and visible indicators of urban poverty.

Making my mortgage payment is dead easy for my wife and I, but I will be the first to admit that the only reason we're homeowners today is because my parents helped us out with the down payment. This is the case for several of my friends, not just in DC, but in also in places that don't have high home prices like Connecticut or rural Oregon.
