Coronavirus - What is your local situation?

Lord Inslee has decreed that crowds over 500, whether in or outdoors,
must wear a mask...

this came down last Thurs and did not take effect until today, AFTER a
holiday weekend. if this virus is so bad, why are they not making
these decrees effective immediately instead of, in this case, waiting
5 days?

the other thing is, more and more people around here just don't care
what he says anymore...and, when his vaccine mandates start in couple
weeks, I think throngs are going to quit. then there will be a real
problem in the medical and law enforcement fields in particular, not to
mention others...

My local school system met last night and voted to restart mask mandates on Friday.

Sorry to hear that, Alldat.  

I'm guessing in the coming weeks that my employer will mandate the jab.

My brother has COVID now.  He has been very vocal about this being a hoax.  He is sick enough to be getting the monoclavial antibody infusion today.

After his infusion, my brother is recovering nicely.  However, now ha wife has it.

and heeeere we gooooo!
(not local to me but I alluded to this happening in a previous post...)

A NY hospital has had to pause baby deliveries because too many staffers resigned over its COVID vaccine mandate

Yep.  I saw that too!

Also this ABC-Washington Post poll that 70% of people would quit their job, if mandated a vaccine they couldn't be exempt from.  
https://www.healthleadersmedia.com/human-resources/whopping-70-unvaccinated-americans-would-quit-their-job-if-vaccines-are-mandated

Yup.  Count me as part of the 70% as well, though my job (which has about 200 employees) has said nothing to us about this mandate.  

I find it absolutely preposterous that the success of this vaccine to the government, is 100% based on who doesn't take it.

If these tyrannical fools want to make it so a vaccination is required to have a job, then I'll no longer have an official job.  If a vaccine is required to use the interstates, then I guess I'll never go to the city again.  If a vaccine is required to buy food from grocery store, then I'll go back to living off the land.  (and thanks to my parents, that wouldn't be a hard transfer to pull of if needed)  

If two suits show up at my front door with a needle in their hand, I'm going to literally fight them with every ounce of life I have, and I'll have something bigger on me than their needle.

Not exactly "local", but there's a village in the Netherlands called Urk, which is (in)famous for a combination of being reformed, having lots of right wing youth and not being too intelligent (partly media portrayal of course).

Anyway, they are famously stubborn when it comes to getting the covid jab. Hardly anyone is vaccinated, hardly anyone follows government guidelines on the subject of covid, and here's the best part: they have next to zero covid cases at all.

Wow sounds like I'd fit right in!     (Minus the language barrier, of course...)

Herd Immunity FTW! 

I heard we were having this "Supply Chain Crisis" - and like most of the corporate media lies, I thought this was more manufactured fear and chaos, i.e. all overblown nonsense.  

But then I walked into one of the local Rite Aid drugstores today and the shelves were bare...I couldn't believe it.  
There was literally ONE tube of toothpaste on the shelves.  ONE!   The rest of the shelves were stripped as if by a swarm, of locusts. 

...And they are really expecting us to believe this is all "because of Covid"?   That is such a load of crap.  
I'm not going to go on a rant but I think many of us know what is going on because we've been watching it unfold since November.

here ya go...straight from Secretary of Transportation himself...

Just as a sidenote, I think it's really really important not to lose your composure. Or as Doug Wilson would say it, don't take the bait. The bait being the obvious and blatant lies that the powers that be try to shove down our throats.

Some of these supply problems started right before covid. Friends of mine in various industries that deal with shipping and stuff will tell you that. Covid just exasperated the situation, especially with people getting paid not to work.

Our state legislature has been working feverishly this week to pass many bills during a special called session to limit the federal mandates.  I believe that our governor will sign these into law.  Many folks turned on Bill Lee because of the shutdowns here in TN.  I think he will sign these and pass them to win back the favor of voters to bolster his re-election campaign for next year.  I, for one, would be more likely to vote for him again if he does.  If he doesn't, I will be voting for an independent for governor of TN.

The company I work at is getting close to reaching 100 people, which would mean mandatory testing or vaccination here. While most of the directors are vaccinated already (myself and the owner among those that are), we have two directors that are very anti-vax and are having a cow right now over this.

It will be interesting to see what happens if we hit 100.

I personally didn't have an issue getting vaccinated...vaccines have been required for various things my whole life, whether it was me needing them to go public school, or for severe allergies, or travelling to certain countries, or joining the service.

I even just got my fist dose of the Shingles vaccination.

Oh fun, I got my first shingles shot about 4 weeks ago.  Sick as a dog the next day.

Man, that sucks, sorry to hear you had to deal with that.

I didn't do too bad....arm was a little sore but that was about it.

Just think, in a couple of months we get to do it again!

Has anyone filed for a religious exemption to the vaccine?

If so, what types of things did you say in the statement?

I have not, but I know 2 people who are nurses at a local NH hospital who did and were "approved" for exemption.  I'm not certain what they wrote, but I believe it was centered around the inclusion of stem cells/potential aborted fetus in the vaccine(s).  I don't know if they included this, but I also know they believe/suspect that the vaccine is the literal mark of the beast.

I'm just interested, has anyone here lost their job because they don't want the vaccine?

^Yesterday I signed the contract for my new job, they haven't asked me about vax status yet but within the first six months both employer and employee can terminate the contract with two weeks notice without having to state why. I've been told that only one employee isn't vaxxed yet but that person was there before it all started so the trial period was long over. So it's gonna be an interesting six months (also because my fourth daughter will be born before that time). I'll keep you guys updated of course.

Interesting development in Germany by the way, the speed tests were free until October, after that you had to pay for them (as a way to force people getting jabbed, not other reasonable explanation). Since last weekend they're free again, and it's not out of concern for the unvaxxed of course. But what on earth could the reason for that be

Very clever of them.  These people may not be very intelligent, but they are certainly diabolically crafty in getting people to bend to their will.   

Oh yes, but it blew up in their faces quite rapidly, didn't it?
