Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Why is there an assumption that people who are unemployed choose to be? Or that the vast majority of unemployed are also unvaccinated? There are a lot of unemployed single parents who have no one to look after their children and for that reason cannot go to work. There just seems to be an awful lot of resentment toward the unemployed as a whole, and they don't all deserve that

If we get lab or dr note from a parent, we provide it to the administrator in our building/district. The administration said they won’t report it unless the health department notifies them, which is fine, however they are so backed up at calling schools and businesses that we are getting calls about positive tests after the 10 day window so contact tracing becomes irrelevant and pointless...we have one staff member in the hospital for 2 weeks and not doing well...we have not yet been notified of her positive test.

Rather not say specifically. Never know who is watching...But I am in upper NYS.

Gotcha

We had a bunch of local hospital nurses walk out earlier this week because they refused the newly mandated vaccine. Yet you can get unemployment without a vaccine card? People who want to work without it are being punished but if you want to stay unemployed and receive government assistance there’s no requirement. I just don’t get it. If my family wasn’t here I’d leave NY.

They are saying you can’t get unemployment if you are fired for no vaccine.

How many health care workers that worked every day during this pandemic, had covid and survived, have antibodies fact and science has shown less than 1% has been reinfected. How many of them are being fired from their jobs now because of our current administration mandate on mandatory vaccination?
Enough that we will see a meltdown of our healthcare system, hospitals have already shutdown some, going to get bad.
Did you hear what our new Governor said about it?
"Bringing health care workers from the Philippines and other countries to replace unvaccinated New York hospital and nursing home staffers is being considered to help facilities with their labor needs, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday.
She said approval for temporary visas would have to be granted by the U.S. Department of State."
"Hochul said she has also asked the prime minister of Ireland if that nation might have health care workers available to come to New York."
What do you think about our hard working healthcare workers that worked crazy hrs during this pandemic with no vaccine now being replaced by foreign workers?

This makes me very unhappy.

They should be hiring newly graduated nurse student looking for a opening that will gladly adhere to the mandate! Not someone overseas.

Like I said, I got vaccinated because of my choice...but I 100% support people who don't want to do that and it's definitely a violation of your personal freedom to be forced to be vaccinated. that's bull sh*t.

My niece just got her RN this month. Had job lined up over a year before she graduated. There's been a shortage before the pandemic.

I work in a hospital and after having Covid and becoming a long hauler, I choose to be vaccinated. I don't understand what all the fuss is from those who work in hospitals who don't want to be vaccinated.

In order to work at a hospital you have to be vaccinated against a variety of infectious diseases. They run a blood test to see what anti bodies you have ( measles, chicken pox , hepatitis Ect..) if you don't have those anti bodies then you MUST get vaccinated in order to work there. You also MUST get the flu vaccine every year.

It doesn't matter what dept. you work in, from the business offices to the E.R. everyone MUST be vaccinated. So it's just another vaccine added to the list.
