I mean, damn, whoever wanted to get vaccinated did it. The older folks are holding up relatively well since they mostly got the shot. Now the big question is whether we need to keep slowing down the pandemic through measures all year long—which might mean three more small waves—or if we should just let everything unravel in a few months.

The President is just looking at the piggy bank and the US economy for 2023. He’s gotta WinCoronavirus© before then, and hopefully before the next major crisis hits.
Instead of following official rules, we're probably going to see schools and businesses shutting down on their own initiative, simply because there won't be anyone left to work when we all get sick at once.

The funniest part is going to be that loud minority shouting right now about how the vaccine is garbage, only to spend next month attacking the system because it didn't do enough to stop or soften the blow. I bet you anything. 😵

You're betting wrong. If you have 50% vaccination and another 30% who already had it, even if someone else catches it, whole schools or companies won't just sit home... testing will stop and only the truly sick will stay home, not those folks in Olešč who don't have a thing.

jadetinker85 said:Yeah, it’s an interesting move. They're announcing this just as the peak of the epidemic is predicted for late September and early October.

The situation is actually worse than it was this time last year if you look at the hospitalization numbers.

Seems like they decided to walk a razor-thin line right next to the crowd protesting any kind of restrictions.

At the same time, you look at Israel, where they've said vaccination won't stop the third wave and more measures are needed... but over here, dealing with people who are hard to reason with is such a headache that it's easier to just fold your arms and grab some popcorn.

And you guys still don't get that none of these measures actually affect how the virus spreads...

jadetinker85 said:It's not that I haven't "stepped foot" in a school; I've been doing this all year without a single issue. Wasting too much time sharing screens? That's one mouse click. Come on, find a better excuse.🙄

"Staring at a screen isn't it"? I'd love to hear a student say that just once🤣. You can always write the problem out on paper and just hold it up so everyone can see.

And where exactly is this 99% of people with bad internet living??? Unless you're tucked away in some remote mountain range, it's hard to buy.

Like 80% of rural Appalachia, maybe.

jadetinker85 said:Of course you get the point. You were the one saying those who are afraid should just go get vaccinated.
But once I bring up the example of someone who’s had two shots and is now stuck in diapers on supplemental oxygen, suddenly you don't get the point?

Look, I've gotten the point. People are dying every single day. My sister-in-law ended up in the hospital today and we still don't even know what happened...
So now we aren't allowed to breathe because someone got vaccinated and landed in the 😁hospital? Who's to say the shots aren't the reason they're lying there? I know two people who caught Corona right after their shots and now both are dead... died because of the vaccine, so what now?

I heard somewhere that in Canada they actually hand out home tests to kids, so they have to test every single day......
Those people are just special kinds of idiots

jadetinker85 said:Then you have the people who got two shots and they're still in diapers on oxygen. People are walking around with this false sense of security thinking the vaccine is a 100% shield. In my view, that’s a massive issue.

I don't even get the point... obviously people in the hospital are sick.

jadetinker85 said:You actually think people are "selling" their convictions? And you're pointing at Smotani2?

I just finished reading what Smotani2 wrote and I don't get why everyone's freaking out...
Just some mild pneumonia, unnecessary hospital stays, and bad medical calls....

jadetinker85 said:Were you in the ICU?

I haven't really spent much time reading hospital bed stories, but I've known Smotani2 for years, so I was curious.

I'm basically surrounded by Adalbet...
Lately, some of these regular forum users just totally flipped their writing style and opinions overnight.
It’s like they sold out to someone or something... it was obvious even to a kid, so why should anyone believe these horror stories anymore?

jadetinker85 said:Take a look at what our fellow forum member Smotanog2 went through after being discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Talking about relaxation is way too early. And don't even get me started on how they were mixing groups during tutoring sessions just to accommodate certain math and physics students who apparently find it impossible in the 21st century to handle a tutoring session over a video call.

Is his experience basically the same as that one guy's from the start of everything????
Why would I want to read stories about stuff I already lived through myself.....

neonbison6 said:Yesterday it was Fuchs saying one thing, and today Capak is out here saying another—honestly, it’s like they can't make up their minds! We're looking into whether teachers need specific certifications, but we haven't actually made a final call on that yet. '

So Fuchs says unvaccinated professors have to wear masks, but masks are mandatory for everyone anyway...
I mean, what's even the difference?

Michelle Nelson4 said:Just wanted to offer a quick correction to that point. When a strep outbreak actually starts, the school often does swabs for everyone in the entire class or group. Even if the kids aren't showing a single symptom, if they test positive for strep, they get prescribed antibiotics and aren't allowed back in school or daycare until they provide a negative test result. I went through this exact situation with my own child, and I know it isn't just an isolated case.

Total lies. Just lies upon lies...

Susan Martin4 said:Well, look at what was written above. It starts with one kid staying home, then a few days later someone they passed it to stays home, then a few days after that, and so on. Parents have to work, kids do what they're told, and suddenly nobody’s even showing up to school properly. 😁

Honestly, I’m just completely over this whole thing. Between the endless waves and all the chaos, I've had enough of this pandemic stuff. 🙂

I guess it's been like that for the last century anyway. And if the kids aren't even showing symptoms, why should they be stuck at home?.....

jadetinker85 said:It’s not panic; it’s a question of hospital capacity. If I recall correctly, we didn't see deaths from the virus around this time last year, mostly because it seemed to lose steam over the summer. This year is different. You only need to read what smotani shared regarding his experience in the hospital to realize why people are worried.

What hospital capacity? Hospitals are empty right now because they're just sitting there waiting for patients that aren't even there....

Susan Martin4 said:I’ve been sitting here scrolling through these threads, just taking it all in, and it makes me wonder—what would you guys actually do? If you were calling the shots, how would you organize this so you could finally look at it and say, "Alright, fine, this actually makes sense"?
Is there even a version of this that works?

Because honestly, it feels like no matter what solution we throw at the wall, someone’s going to find a way to point out why it's flawed.

Just scrap everything and go back to the way things were... if you're sick, stay home until you're better, just like before.
Back in the spring of 2020, before anything hit, I remember one spot in Appalachia where like 80% of kids were out because of some flu or whatever, and 100% in other areas, and nobody even blinked. It was probably the same everywhere else. So why the massive panic now if maybe 5% get sick?

So my girlfriend tested positive yesterday and got slapped with a 14-day quarantine...
It feels like they just hand these out whenever they feel like it, I guess.....

blue dog said:We gotta grab at least 20 seats. And look, we aren't doing any coalitions with Plenković. It's also huge that we have recognizable names on the ballots. Petrov, Škoro, and the main guys from the Sovereigntists will definitely put together solid lists. Then we’re either winners making up a key part of the majority, or the Republican Party and the Democratic Party just go into power together without us.

Wait a sec... if you don't join up with Plenković after the election but you're still a "key part of the majority," doesn't that basically mean you're in a coalition with the Democratic Party? Makes no sense.

You can't just rely on an MRI to confirm MS; you really need a spinal tap because brain changes could be caused by all sorts of different diseases...
And from what I can tell, there aren't even any of those typical, large lesions you'd usually see with MS...

Alexander Murphy said:Hey there.

Does anyone know if there’s an actual directory for sole proprietorships in the US? I’m trying to track down some contact info for them, but every search just brings up application forms to start a business or news articles about them.

Maybe learn what a family farm actually is before we move on.

All I hear is the streetcars leaving the yard and the usual traffic, not some delivery truck...
Some hick moved to Chicago and now he’s got a problem with everything.

That guy won't last much longer, I guess...
