The surreal lives of Arkansas nurses fighting Covid-19 inside the hospital and denial on the outside
"It's extremely difficult to watch so many people die, and then have people tell you on Facebook or in Walmart that you're a liar," Sunny said. Sometimes that would come from the loved ones of the patients she was taking care of.
"We had people accuse us of giving their loved one something else so that they would die and we could report it as Covid. We heard it more than once that we were fudging the numbers, or we were killing people on purpose to make Covid look like it was worse than it was, or to make it look real when it wasn't," she said.
"My own dad -- who I love, and is a great person -- I had to show him, like, no, this is real," she said. He was slowly convinced by "watching what it did to me personally -- getting phone calls from me during work where I'm just broken down crying ... There was so much death."

This was what I was wondering about.This is where a good market can price these people out of their stupidity; insanely high insurance rates for people who refuse the vaccines.
Insurance is about pooling risk, and when you have dolts who think you can fit a microchip in a needle, it’s clear they’re in an extremely high-risk group.
That or compulsory vaccinations. If it causes autism in the anti-vaccination movement, would anybody notice?
The blood clot issue is definitely a part of having the public informed in a wrong way. That should have either not been pushed, or with more information for the context.
I'm flying today to see my GF for our 1st anniversary. Unlike the last 2 flights, this time I directly got the boarding pass online after checking in. Means nobody will check my vaccination/test/recovery certificate. Because... I don't know. They really should.
Or they could acknowledge that cleaning surfaces is just theater, and concentrate on airflow and density.Upgrade those escalators, rolling stairs & floors, etc with UV desinfectance when they rotate under the walking surface back to the start of the stairs (no safety risks humans) and you control a systemic level, a systemic percentage of virus killing (and less environmental load from chemical desinfectants).

I think holding the olympics in these conditions is madness. I am generally into the rule of law, but when contracts signed in a different age so overtly go against democratic will there has to be something wrong with the system.100 people connected to the Olympic$ have been infected with the coronavirus, some Japanese nationals working inside the games areas, some foreign athletes, foreign media correspondents, and support staff. I thought they were all supposed to be vaccinated?
We went from “Olympics to celebrate humanity’s triumph over the coronavirus” to “safety and peace of mind” to “we have an obligation to the world; opening (the games) has true value in overcoming the coronavirus.”
Not my words—those are the Prime Minister’s.
On Russia's part it is at least bad faith to sign a contract which it was already announcing it could not fulfil and demand that its customers not engage any other suppliers. That as well as the middlemen scheme detailed in the article I posted and in earlier posts.Putin's press-secretary said Russia will be "gradually fulfilling" obligations for delivery, because vaccination of Russian citizens is a first priority.
Who would have known in advance that we may suddenly require vaccine for ourselves, in the midst of global pandemics??
I'm not sure this was the case, tbh.On Russia's part it is at least bad faith to sign a contract which it was already announcing it could not fulfil and demand that its customers not engage any other suppliers.
