Let's put it this way folks, covid mutated into a very contagious strain that we cannot stop, but we can slow it down so that the healthcare system doesn't collapse. Sending kids back to school right away after the holidays, in winter with the hospitals bursting and staff reduced, might not be wise. Kids need to go back to school, but we need a plan and time to boost some vulnerable folks too, we also need to give the hospitals some slack. It's endemic and it looks like most folks will get some version of it sooner or later and some people might get it multiple times. We will learn to live with it, we will muddle through.

way back when, distancing/lockdown was the whole purpose so the healthcare system wouldn't be overwhelmed.

it's like there's even this bigger push to open and send kids back..this has Big Business all over it.

and now we are a few variants later with the most contagious on its way..anti vaxxers..go figure.

Is there no jobs available where you are? I’m about to resign (hopefully this week) and have zero concerns about getting another job, if needed, thankfully I have multiple trade certifications, huge demand. In saying that I would drive a cab, work anywhere (if I had too). It’s quite amazing what shit gets thrown at you in life when you least expect it :(.

when the sun rises here in Colorado in the winter, the clouds are really puffy and colors of deep purple and black; it's surreal and so beautiful. it looks like art- maybe it is? i'm on news lite- no cable. glance the papers.

BTW we're one of about a dozen states who are now receiving military help at hospitals. all the states are CO AZ NM; the midwest and northeast. nothing in the south and states have to request it; fed doesn't just send.

the south is really hellbent on killing it's people.

Call it American, it’s still the language of empire. The same for Greek, Italian, French, German or Dutch, to name a few.

i don't get sunset much due to front range positioning. the feeling is amazing though with sunrise i can't even believe it's real.

I have a kid in school. So, yeah, I've put a moat around my castle, I stay home, work remotely, I only do what is necessary to keep the house running. But a kid has to go to school and develop. So, my castle is compromised. The drawbridge is down. Public schooling weakens my defenses but I've seen the alternative and think the risk of contracting severe Covid is less than the risk of harming my kid by pulling him out of class.

What you suggest is only possible for people who don't have to go out into the world.

We have two official languages in Canada. English and French. Unfortunately though, both are languages of empire and colonial oppression. Therefore all Canadians are pieces of shit.

You speak English too but spell a few words differently. That combined with your countries history of fairness and equity, allows you to break free from the stigma of being an oppressor.

Makes sense, no?

I don't think big business has much to do with this, it's being driven by the emerging science and because it is so contagious, the new plan is a form of controlled herd immunity, slow it down to save the hospitals. People with kids know they need to get them back to school, but that could lead to disaster in the hospitals. It's also a race to get people vaxxed and boosted here, but it's moving faster than we can boost. I'm 2 weeks out from my boost and will be lucky to make it I figure. Vaxxed and boosted improves and shortens the ride. Say moo yer about to join the herd, vaxxed or not..

At this point in NS there are more vaxxed and boosted people hospitalized than the unvaxxed, but they are only around 11% of the population and mostly young people. The average age of the hospitalized is 70 and the youngest 29. The old with comorbidities are in the hospital for now, along with the unvaxxed younger population. The vaccines are working to keep people from becoming seriously ill and if omicron is milder, then the unvaxxed young should be ok for the most part as should the vaxxed.
