| LIFE CV-19: Effects on life, work, and sports

Israel is the most vax’d country with a good portion having had their 3rd jab. Already calls for a 4th and their passport system is rigid. Oddly enough……Phizer got a solitary deal with them, none of the others are used. What doesn’t surprise is that ”break through” cases continue to climb.

I love the fact they ignore that exactly one-half of all states had more deaths than births, regardless of vaccination status.

I'm not sure what your definition is of "get back going again". Unfortunately I don't see us returning to normal until there is a vaccine and it is deployed.

We have vaccines now

I was left shaking my head looking over this.

Not a good look here.

Not a good look here.

It is interesting that the manufacturers demand lose of liberty for unvax’d. Follow the money.

How COVID Vaccine Coercion Drove Me Out Of West Point

My unvaccinated friends and I were mocked for being in the 'dirty' platoon of only unvaccinated cadets, while officers told trainees to stay away from us.

I'm still of the opinion this has been mismanaged from the beginning, by China, the WHO, the United States, and the rest of the world. Without a doubt we (the United States) should have done better, we are the leaders of the free world.

I am so conflicted on this whole thing to be honest. I'm still not sure if we have under or over reacted on this entire thing. I could make a case for either.

I do believe a deep retrospective needs to be done afterwards to try to improve things for the next time this happens. We've had 3 outbreaks in the last 10 years.

Agreed

The unemployment is going to continue to get worse each week. Need to find a way to get things moving again quickly.

Below is from United Airlines today.

"Travel demand is essentially zero and shows no sign of improving in the near-term," they wrote. "Less than 200,000 people flew with us during the first two weeks of April this year, compared to more than 6 million during the same time in 2019, a 97 percent drop. And we expect to fly fewer people during the entire month of May than we did on a single day in May 2019."

Jobs are out there! People don't WANT to work is the issue now, unlike the recession of the late 2000's

There is a lot more going on that just not wanting to work. Some of it is folks who got $600 extra on top of their regular unemployment and now think every job should pay $15-20 an hour (plus tips in many cases). There is also a concerted effort to not hire people for some reason. I know quite a few qualified people looking for jobs who can't get a second interview. They aren't applying for promotions, but just for the same type of job they were doing for 10 years prior to their company laying them off or closing outright. Hell, were I to decide to leave my company my only choice is to move to a much higher cost of living location since everyone is now refusing remote workers in most cases. The other day I was looking at a Cybersecurity posting that required a Masters and 5 years experience for $50K, which is ridiculous.

When this whole thing first hit back in early 2020, everybody at my job was worried that layoffs were coming down with a quickness or that it meant that it was the end of the place altogether. Then they told us "lay people off? HA! Y'all ain't getting off THAT easy". So that put an end to that. A lot of people ended up taking early retirement due to being severely immunocompromised. Or so they said. Just my .02, but I think some saw it as an early way out of work. Once vaccines rolled out, my employer started hiring in an attempt to fill the positions left by the early retirees. And still, we can't even get a nibble. Jobs have been reposted with upped pay and still not one applicant, whereas in the past, people would have been lined up ten deep on the day of the first interview.

I don't know if it's that cut and dry.

Here we have housing prices that have skyrocketed, which means fewer rentals or more expensive rentals, and the service industry is getting pushed out of the area. The average income here is low, so that plays a major part. Montana already had a problem where people had to leave the state to make money. It's gotten much worse to a degree, but those who can work remote are unaffected and helping to drive up the housing prices.

I've read that in other areas people have used this whole covid situation as a reason to get out of the service industry. They're just fed up with the whole thing.

People are using Uber eats, etc to have food delivered, the people at the restaurant don't get the tips, the Uber eats driver does. So that's playing a part.

Then we have this concept of social programs that frankly will hurt us in the end. But we keep giving out money.

A real mess is what this has become.

That is definitely the case. But the thing I keep running into with those leaving is that they want $15 or more an hour, plus tips. Prices are already going up at most places due to cost increases for the raw materials (meat especially) and things are only going to get worse before they get better. I do not expect many local places to stay in business much longer if they have to keep increasing wages and therefore prices.
