    The only nut job on this thread uses the handle bsm2. He is hyper paranoid and has removed his true name and where he is located from his profile, it used to be there. I don't know but have a feeling that he doesn't have many friends either here or in his daily life. He frequently tells other that they must be off their meds so that tends to indicate that he is on some rather strong anti depression drugs. If he is, he needs to find a better therapist and soon before he breaks.

    If you put the bold text into google it brings up a CNBC article with no links to the original survey, so did it even happen?. We are shown similar nonsense in the UK that goes against popular opinion amongst people I know. The surveys are an attempt to make you think differently. Some people seem to be blind to that fact.

    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.

    Most U.S. companies will require proof of Covid vaccination from employees: survey

    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.

    Arizona State University Survey of Employers Shows Companies Doubling Down on Covid-19 Testing and Support Vaccinations to Achieve a Post-Pandemic Workplace

    04.29.21

    Nearly 9 out of 10 employers in the US & UK will require or encourage vaccination for employees. Most say employee mental health has become a top priority

    PHOENIX, Ariz. | April 29, 2021 – A comprehensive business survey, conducted by Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions with support from The Rockefeller Foundation, finds that nearly 9 out of 10 employers in the United States and UK plan to encourage or require vaccination for employees and nearly 7 out of 10 are currently performing Covid-19 testing for their employees. The results from 1,339 employers, focusing on mid to large size employers who completed this survey during the month of March, are available in a new comprehensive report, Back to the Workplace: Are we there yet? Key Insights from Employers One Year Into the Pandemic. The survey produced real-time responses of American and British businesses, representing 71% and 24% of respondents respectively, about their vaccination policies, testing and contact tracing, employee well-being, pandemic response and preparedness, the pandemic’s financial impact, and the future of work.


    “More than one year into the Covid-19 crisis, it’s clear that employers across the United States and UK are now taking a more proactive role and creating their own policies to manage the pandemic,” said Mara Aspinall, Project Co-Lead, Professor of Practice at Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions, and Advisor to The Rockefeller Foundation. “In making the physical workplace as safe as possible, almost 70% of employers surveyed are testing some or all of their workforce and nearly 90% say that they will require or encourage Covid-19 vaccination in the months ahead.”

    As vaccination rates increase globally—with more than half of adults in the U.S. and the UK having received at least one shot—employers and employees now face important questions and complex challenges about when and how they will return to work. The second in a series launched last summer, with the initial round published in November 2020, key findings of the latest Covid-19 Workplace Commons — Keeping Workers Well survey include:


    • Vaccinations are the top priority. Eighty-eight percent of employers plan to require or encourage their employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Fifty-nine percent plan to incentivize their employees to be vaccinated, and 60% of employers say they will require proof of vaccination from employees.
    • Productivity and morale are up. The survey also provided surprising insights on worker productivity and morale, with a majority of employers saying their employees’ engagement and productivity have gone up since the pandemic and 44% reporting that employee morale has gone up, compared to 26% indicating that morale went down, since the pandemic began.
    • Mental health and employee burnout is a big concern. Seventy-seven percent of employers said employees’ mental health has now become a top priority since the pandemic started. For companies in the U.S., 79% of employers indicated that employee mental health wellbeing has become a top priority for their company.

    “This pandemic clearly has had a devastating impact on our collective mental health.” said Dr. Jonathan D. Quick, Managing Director for Pandemic Response, Preparedness, and Prevention at The Rockefeller Foundation. “The data indicate that employers see this crisis and are working to find ways to help employees restore their mental well-being.”
    Additionally, with so many adults being vaccinated, both employees and employers are sharing what they want the work environment in the future to look like post-pandemic.


    • Companies are looking towards offering a more flexible working environment

    ○ Nearly three quarters of companies (72%) indicated that they intend to offer more flexible or expanded work from home policies for their employees post-pandemic (in the U.S., this number increases to 73% of employers).
    ○ Overall, more than 6 out of 10 companies surveyed will offer a virtual work environment or a hybrid model – a combination of virtual and physical work environment – in a post-pandemic world.
    ○ For the rest of 2021, a majority of companies (63%) will allow employees to work from home through the rest of the year.

    • Most companies indicated they are not ready to completely abandon their physical workplace space in a post-pandemic world:

    ○ A majority of employers (68%) believe that employees should be in the office at least 20 hours per week.
    ○ They cited their top reasons for wanting employees to be in the office partially during the week as 1) it allows for social connections to be created and maintained with colleagues, 2) it ensures employee productivity, and 3) it allows for spontaneous idea sharing and problem solving.

    “The pandemic has changed the traditional office environment in many ways – possibly forever – yet a majority of employers are indicating they see real value in employees continuing to interact face-to-face,” said Nate Wade, Project Co-Lead and Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives at Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions.
    Additional survey findings include:


    • The top three challenges companies are facing in returning employees to the physical work environment are 1) employees not wanting to return to in-person work, 2) safety of employees, and 3) cost of making workspace safe for employees.
    • 84% of employers indicated that they would allow Covid-19 vaccinations to be administered to their employees at their facility if supplies were available.
    • Half of employers reported an increase in the use of available company resources related to mental health since the pandemic began.

    ASU will field one more phase of its Covid-19 Workplace Commons — Keeping Workers Well survey in summer 2021. Employers of all types, sizes and geographic locations are invited to get involved and sign up to participate in the next survey at ASUcovidcommons.com.

    ... if you want to go on a cruise starting this mid-summer, and a lot of people do, you need a vaccine passport.

    Not me, not interested in cruise ships. I have been on a few in the past.

    If Liberals won't go to the science, I'll bring the science to liberals.



    Texas, Florida Reporting Fewer Coronavirus Cases Per Capita than Key Blue States with Mask Mandates


    Both Florida and Texas, two states serving as the model for reopening their economies and forgoing statewide mask mandates, are continuing to report fewer new cases of the Chinese coronavirus than key blue states, such as Michigan and Pennsylvania, both of which have shown no signs of easing their respective mask mandates.


    Breitbart News has continued to track the seven-day average of new coronavirus cases in key states. Free red states, such as Florida and Texas, have continued to fare just as well, if not better, than pro-lockdown blue states. This week’s data was no exception.


    According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) Michigan, which just began masking toddlers, has reported 316.9 new cases of the virus per 100,000 in the last seven days, or 31,648 total. Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) Pennsylvania has reported 185.4 new cases of the virus per 100,000 in the last seven days, or 23,736 total.


    Meanwhile, Texas, which has remained open for over a month, recorded 68.4 new cases of the virus in the last seven days per 100,000, or 19,844. Florida, which has remained open for months and never once had a statewide mask mandate, reported 170.2 new cases of the virus per capita, or 36,545 in the same time frame.


    The CDC’s data on New York is not as straightforward, as it splits New York City’s data entirely from the rest of the state. New York City alone reported 131.3 new cases of the virus per 100,000 in the last seven days, or 11,027 cases. The remainder of the state reported 133.4 cases per 100,00, or 14,750.


    While the two separately are less than Florida per capita, there were weeks showing the Sunshine State consistently reporting fewer new cases per capita than New York City alone.


    According to the CDC, the U.S. has reported 32,091,429 total cases of the virus since the start of the pandemic, and over 101 million have been “fully” vaccinated, representing 30.5 percent of the U.S. population.
