    depends on the state.
    Also, as you can see there are some who have already won TROs, and some federal judges are insanely ordering employers to mandate the shots.

    Why would you jeer those who are fighting the same fight as you?

    Genuinely curious if ER helps you guys.
    Wife and I recently got over it but she went in for early treatment to a family doctor. Only thing ER was good for at the time was getting monoclonal shot but apparently thats already changed since then. (2 weeks ago)

    yes, I don't know about the ER for a fever, but then again it's not my wife and I'm not there.

    Wishing @cantexian and family all the best.

    I'm sure it was @virginiashadow fat thumbing while scrolling the thread. Nothing you said would have him offended, especially when both of you fight for the better good.

    Can't imagine the anticipation of announcing to the staff a mandate will be made to get an experimental vaccination.

    Nurses that I graduated high school with are walking off the job. Teachers that I went to high school with resigned when mask mandates were placed in my hometown school.

    We will suffer the consequences, that’s not tough talk, it’s happening.

    People better have their health in order because the shortages aren’t going to get better. Vaccine or no vaccine, what is happening right now we are beyond the point of irreversible damage, those aged 40-65 will likely suffer the worst. Buckle up the ride is just staring.

    My wife is already. Maybe set a world record for fastest ER visit during a pandemic. They checked her temp, fever gone sometime before she got there, Pulse Ox was normal, BP normal, her hear rate was slightly elevated. But, my theory is that was due to
    Multiple arguements with her mother in past four hours since getting a positive test result.

    I am jeering the talk when it comes down to quitting or not.

    I know what it cost to fight this, good luck

    You're fighting for your kid's right to play a game.
    Millions of us are fighting for our entire livelihoods. Our body autonomy. If they can do this to us now, what can't they do later?

    My son takes NAC and it really helps him. Helps transport zinc and such into cells. We all know zinc does some pretty amazing things to our immune system.

    I should start collecting # employees for our company, would be interesting analysis. I suspect the number getting terminated for (shot) non compliance, with no medical or religious exception will be a very small number and disproportionately US v other countries.

    On the shortage point, it will vary more. Finished goods maybe one of the worst, which, ironically could push more work offshore, if the supply chain and transportation systems make a quick recovery.

    US labor market is getting the double whammy, the second being many boomers leaving the workforce.

    Hahaha, thanks for the laugh!

    It's been all on the news. Being the front of the healthcare system - I think they all knew it was a possibility. I think it also helps (not really helps but knows it is not us) is that I, as the business manager/HR, am in the same boat as all of them.

    Do you regret getting it or do you regret walking from a job you enjoy and good money?

    It's tough.
