Delta is making its way through other states Ohio is showing very high numbers and climbing.

Yes, There are a few areas where it is still growing (Ohio and Idaho pop to mind) but most states have leveled off.

It's been almost 2 weeks and there's still nothing from OSHA about this.

The fierce urgency of "soon."

UAB retracted their mandate after it became evident they were going to have a large portion of their staff walk out of the hospital. I've read about the same thing happening in other places.

Besides, it's all political.

Here’s my question… The biggest threat about the hospital systems being overrun is manpower, no? That’s the biggest resource that’s in shortest supply, right? So they’ve really pushed on this mandate for healthcare workers and my understanding is that the workers aren’t budging. So are they really going to force out 25% of the healthcare workers when we need them the most? That hits me as the height of stupidity.

If I’m in an accident this afternoon, I’d rather have unvaxxed healthcare workers taking care of me than vaccinated workers that are stretched too thin.

On the day after Biden threatened people's livelihoods if they don't take the shot.

This is a testing mandate ultimately. It’s just that a vaccine exempts you.

I moved to the U.S. for school. I didn't have great vaccination records (moved around a bunch, paper records). One of the first things the school made me do was get about 5 shots before I could register for classes.

I associate the U.S. with vaccine mandates.

This isn’t a vaccine mandate.

[Jolly]

It's close enough for government work...

This isn’t a vaccine mandate.

If course it isn’t. To have a vaccine mandate, you would need an actual vaccine .

They changed the definition, albeit post-production...
