Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
I rec'd my first AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot this AM. Very easy to book with next day appointments at a nearby pharmacy. No waiting.
I could barely feel anything and no side effects so far.
I did promptly receive a proof of vaccination emailed to myself.Comment

Most U.S. companies will require proof of Covid vaccination from employees, survey finds
- A broad majority of U.S. employers, 65%, plan to offer employees incentives to get vaccinated and 63% will require proof of vaccination, according to an ASU/Rockefeller Foundation survey.
- Overall, 44% will require all employees to get vaccinated, 31% will just encourage vaccinations and 14% will require some employees to get vaccinated.
More than 60% of companies in the U.S. will require proof of vaccination from their employees, according to a new survey conducted by Arizona State University with support from the Rockefeller Foundation.
A broad majority of U.S. employers, 65%, plan to offer employees incentives to get vaccinated and 63% will require proof of vaccination, according to the survey. Overall, 44% will require all employees to get vaccinated, 31% will just encourage vaccinations and 14% will require some employees to get vaccinated.
When it comes to consequences for failing to comply with company vaccination policy, 42% of businesses said the employee will not be allowed to return to the physical work environment, and 35% said disciplinary actions are on the table, up to and including possible termination.
The survey, released Thursday, represents the responses of 957 facilities across 24 industry sectors in the U.S. Most of the respondents were businesses with 250 or more employees.
Testing still remains critical to employers with 70% of respondents currently conducting Covid tests that are mostly mandatory.
In terms of employee well-being, the corporate respondents said burnout increased 54% and mental health concerns overall increased 59%. However, morale and productivity also both when up by nearly 50%.
Looking forward, 66% of employers are planning to allow employees to work from home full-time through 2021, and 73% intend to offer flexible work arrangements when the pandemic is over. However, 73% of businesses want employees to work from the office at least 20 hours a week.
“This is not just a bubble that goes back to ‘normal’, there will be some positive flexibility after the pandemic ends and we go back to in-person work,”Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Remember when the CNN director was busted on camera admitting that "We're going to squash the whole Covid narrative in June because people don't believe it's dangerous anymore, and we're going to move all of our efforts to fear-mongering about Climate change........Fear Sells, so we'll just show videos of fires and ice melting and that kind of thing....."
Remember that?
Pepperidge Farm Remembers!
So, it's no Surprise at all that these democrat run states are suddenly saying they will "Fully Reopen by the beginning of July".
It's been a concerted effort by Liberal elites, Big Tech, and the Media from the beginning!
The Overwhelming majority of People have lost "The Fear" of the China Virus, and now the dems and their media puppets have to move on to the next Fear tactic. SMH.
Also, it's pretty sad that people won't look at the overwhelming evidence that shows the lockdowns, mask mandates and restrictions in those democrat-run states had nearly ZERO EFFECT on "stopping the virus" compared to the states (like mine) that didn't have any of the restrictions.
I love my state. They allowed us, the citizens, to make our own decisions, and we fared VERY well compared to most. We were never denied our FREEDOM!!OmertÃComment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Where the hell do they get those numbers? I wouldn't put much stock into that survey SSG......you know they've been WAY OFF before!
-Human-resources leaders and chief executives across the nation say they aren’t mandating vaccinations because they want to respect the views of those who lack confidence in the new vaccines, avoid liability if there are adverse reactions and not infringe on religious or personal beliefs.
-During a virtual all-staff meeting at Facebook a couple months ago, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, the company doesn’t plan to require employees to get vaccinated before returning to its offices.
-Credit-card giant Discover Financial Serviceswill encourageas many employees who can safely get the vaccine to do so, said Andy Eichfeld, chief human resources and administrative officer, but won’t require it as a condition of staying employed. “That’s just not how we operate"
-Industrial conglomerate Emerson Electric Co. EMR -1.07% considered requiring all 90,000 employees to get the vaccine but ultimately decided a mandate wasn’t in line with the company’s culture and would cause unneeded blowback from the press and workers. “We can mandate it, but that would be the wrong way to go,” said CEO David Farr. “We wouldn’t get the best results that way.”
-Marriott International CEO Arne Sorenson said at a Wall Street Journal event, “I think all of us know that we need to respect personal freedoms and liberty.”
-GM and Ford will not require employees to receive Covid-19 vaccinations despite the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission saying employers can require workers to do so.
-UAW President Rory Gamble on Friday said he believes that none of the union’s 400,000 members should be forced to receive Covid-19 vaccinations.-Companies are very unlikely to mandate that their employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine to come to work, said Business Roundtable Chairman and Walmart Inc. CEO Doug McMillon.
McMillon said no members of the Business Roundtable, a lobbying group whose members are CEOs of the largest U.S. companies, have chosen to require vaccination so far.
-The largest U.S. company, Walmart employs almost 1.5 million people in the United States and has remained open during the pandemic, and will NOT require employees to get vaccinated.
Dr. Amanda Cohn, the executive secretary of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, was asked if Covid-19 vaccination can be required, she responded that under an EUA, “vaccines are not allowed to be mandatory. So, early in this vaccination phase, individuals will have to be consented and they won’t be able to be mandatory.” Cohn later affirmed that this prohibition on requiring the vaccines applies to organizations, including hospitals.
Promotional materials for the Covid vaccine MUST STATE that this product has not been approved or licensed by the FDA, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA”.
This means that an organization will likely be at odds with federal law if it requires its employees, students or other members to get a Covid-19 vaccine that is being distributed under emergency use authorization.OmertÃComment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Sad that people still beleive and promote false claims and conspiracy theories that masks don't work.
Maybe you should get your information from your own state health dept or the CDC or doctor.
America Fired that guys failed plan and now there is light at the end of the the tunnel with our new President and Administration.

Young children could get vaccinated by the end of the year, Dr. Ozlem Tureci, the co-founder and chief medical officer of BioNTech, told CNBC.
However, that depends on how clinical trials go and whether the FDA approves it.
In late March, Pfizer and BioNTech began a clinical trial testing their vaccine on healthy 6-month to 11-year-old children.Comment
