rajncajn Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Oh no, more positivity! Shame on me! https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/621090/ Good, non-biased article BTW.

League_Champion Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 You can spread Covid now as long as you're vaccinated? "After implementing a coronavirus mandate for health care workers this fall, Rhode Island has now opened an option for COVID-positive health care workers to continue working if their facility is facing a staffing crisis."

Policies created the staffing shortage, so now so many industries are having labor shortages.

darin3 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I don't have the time or wherewithal to do the research, but I'm wondering if this virus and the vaccines in particular are such a polarized/political issue in other countries. It is sad to see that the good 'ol USA makes things such a political issue. COVID's real, and the science backs up the fact that the vaccines help.

But they fired anyone who was unvaccinated then bitch that there's a shortage of workers and then tell vaccinated workers that they can work while having Covid. That's F'd up, am I the only one with common sense in this Mother F'er? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story in the article (especially the article form the original source itself) sounds a lot different than the headline itself. - There has not been one case of a HC worker in Rhode Island working while infected with CV. It's an emergency break glass policy and they are talking about the potential of scenarios like CV infected nurses working on CV infected patients. - Workers would be wearing N95 masks, if it were to ever happen. - The change in emergency policy is based on change in CDC guidance. The new variant only appears to transmit during early stages of infection; so they are talking about workers who've been positive for some period of time. - Apparently, the RI Health Department sees it fit to alter policy, based on changes over a period time to the virus itself. This is how things should work. Fox News saw an opportunity to make some headline porn to get their target audience excited about something that really isn't even happening. Apparently they had to move on from the War on Christmas stuff; it is early January now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Vaccines don't work, some silly carton that dopie posted says so......I wonder why people with these views bothered to get vaccinated, I mean clearly not being vaccinated is perfectly safe, no higher numbers of people in that group being hospitalized, put on ventilators or dying.

It means that you're less likely to get it and if you do, you'll suffer through less symptoms, likely won't need to be hospitalized, likely won't need a ventilator and won't die. I can't tell you how many people I've run into that say, I or someone I know was vaccinated and still got covid. I'm curious Rajn, your coworker, are they experiencing any symptoms and if they are, are they serious? Have they been hospitalized, etc?

Thank you Irish, I really, super-seriously didn't know that. I can't tell you how many people I've run into that say, I or someone I know was vaccinated and still got covid. That's not really the greatest endorsement. I'm curious Rajn, your coworker, are they experiencing any symptoms and if they are, are they serious? Have they been hospitalized, etc? I know his first infection was pretty nasty, but I don't know the details. I just found out about his recent infection, so I don't know any more than he had symptoms and got tested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not a friend, well, still sorry he's sick I knew who he was before work, but he's more a work acquaintance. We're both from the same area and run in overlapping circles, he's just about 10 years older than I am so we never "knew" each other before work.

The endorsements for the vaccines are the improvements in the decrease in severe illness and death. However, as viruses mutate, they usually decrease in potency/severity. I was curious about his first infection when the guy was probably not vaccinated, versus this time around. Either way, hope he recovers quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fools believe being vaccinated/boostered means no chance of getting it. Let us know when you know people who were vaxxed and boosted who got COVID and were hospitalized, in the ICU, on a ventilator or died. Or maybe you have some facts that show that the reports of the majority (in the 90% range) of those hospitalized and dying are unvaxxed.
