That is why the youngest took the shots. I will say the hospital he and most of the family work at made it fairly easy to come up with some kind of reason to avoid it, but some just refused to take that option.
I am thinking I was off by a week. Right now I am expecting the infection rate for the US to peak today or tomorrow, if we haven't done it already. London is already dropping, so is NYC. We shall see the death rate, as expected, it didn't go up that much, hoovers around 2K, although that is FL and a few states not included...
Don't say that too loud because those on the other side that are trying to encourage the longevity of this Pandemic... May try to erect a new state law barring the efforts of public health agencies trying to manage the spread of Covid. wrbtrader
Let's hope it is the peak and another isn't on the way. The oldest was ATO'd yesterday because they had to again cancel surgeries with the hospital being full. The wife has another set of employees out with Covid, and is running thin on lab staff.
And the dumbfucks keep marching in: (from a healthcare worker) "Less lethal, more contagious, still causes significant morbidity; omicron has crippled our hospital far more than delta ever did. We're back to square one of the pandemic, all elective procedures canceled, all hands on deck, half the staff out, were all carrying unprecedented patient loads, five day wait in the region to get admitted.....all while dealing with levels of harassment I've never fucking seen. I mean I've treated them all- gangbangers, raging meth heads, prison inmates, hills have eyesesque hillbillies, entitled rich bourgeois assholes, renowned politicians....most people regardless of station recognize and respect when someone is trying to help you.. but man, these people coming in are just fucking savages. Entitled, no respect for anyone, opinionated, misinformed....and angry. So angry. Just chill out and let me do my fucking job man. I don't need to hear all your conspiracy theory bullshit just let me fucking save you so I can move on to the next nutjob and hear the same spiel because you all literally say the same thing"
Our youngest who is doing security while in college at the same hospital as wife and oldest can attest to this b.s.. Holy crap the stories he has of the idiots showing up are beyond stupid.
