Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[Ninurta]

I am guessing the the mandates are working on the majority with maybe 10 to 20% saying no ??

I'm not sure what the refusal rate still is nationwide, but I would guess 20% to be close to the mark. In some areas and some sectors, it's up at around 50% still. Several major cities are set to lose quite a lot of their emergency staff - firefighters, police, hospital workers, etc.

I have not heard of any mandates - except one - around here, but I don't get out much any more - ain't nothing much out there I want to see. The one I know of is Ballad Health Care, who run several of the local hospitals and medical establishments. I'm not sure how that is going for them, but I do know that there is some resistance among health care staff there. I know my sister and my niece are both caught in that, and have both already had covid. Last I heard, they had given my sister a 90 day extension because she has already had the covid, but I still don't know how it's going to play out once that 90 days is up. I reckon time will tell.

If they insitute a mandate for patients to be vaxxed, my guess is they will lose a crap ton of money as people just stop going to the doctor or hospital. I know the people here, and most have the attitude that they can die at home as easy as they can die in a hospital. My Dear Old Dad was one of them. When he got cancer, he said "fuck them doctors - I can die at home as easy as anywhere. They ain't choppin' me up like fishbait." and die at home is just what he did.

Another sister works for a government contractor in IT, and has been forced to get the vax or lose her job. She got the vax, but is plenty unhappy about it, and may refuse any boosters. She was raped 30 or 40 years ago, and says this is just like that, and bringing it all back now. She says it carries the exact same violated feeling.

Some private industry may be mandating as well. AT+T has a call center in the next county over, and they are hurting for employees. They have been posting this ad all over the place, and apparently aren't even getting any takers at those exorbitant rates:



That's big money for here - especially for a call center, and that ad is for mere operators, not management - and people are still saying "ummm.... no...". I don't know if it is because of a vax mandate or if it is because of the silly-assed woke "white people are evil and better admit it" program they have going on. Either way, if they don't tighten their asses up, they'll go the way of the Sykes call center in the next county over in the other direction - they had to close down and then sold their building, apparently an unprecedented course of action for Sykes. They have a building in Ireland that has been vacant for 15 years or so, and still refuse to sell it.

I personally have gotten over 30 e-mails from a government contractor call center (SERCO) wanting me to come and manage something there, and have steadfastly refused due to their silly-assed masking mandate. I'm guessing they also have a vax mandate now, being a government contractor, but the mask mandate they have had forever is enough for me to turn down the piles of money they are offering. I like to breathe while I work.

They need to get their shit together and stop trying to scare folks into doing health-damaging stuff, because we don't scare easy out here. If all we have to do is sit at home all day and shoot at dumbasses trying to raid our gardens, that is just what we will do rather than knuckle under to abject fear emanating from an overbearing government that has been adequately demonstrated to be detrimental to our health.

I mean, I already know I'm gonna die, and when I do it will be down to government malfeasance and mismanagement, due to their medicare/medicaid policies that are refusing me the medical care I need. Why in the hell would I let them accelerate that with a smile on my face?

When I do die, I want to be buried face down so they can all kiss my ass.
