Corporate legal council didn't want to touch some of our sub-contractors claiming religious exceptions with a big pointy stick. Their agencies need to "certify" their adherence to the mandates.
Also eff religious exceptions.
CoVID-19
Also eff religious exceptions.
Company issued a vaccine mandate. Then proceeded to accept every religious exemption despite no major religions forbidding vaccines. Then spinelessly withdrawing the mandate before it went into effect.
There was some good that came out of it, a lot of people got vaccinated because if it and a lot of people got fired prior to the mandate because of bad behavior thinking they would get fired because of the vaccine anyway.
Been there, done that, pulling in horns a little, N95 and not eating out much until things stabilize some. This said, the odds of Hilarie and I getting hit by the bug eventually are more than low. It's called real life.
This. We're taking extra precautions during this surge, but we're still doing "real life" stuff.
Dang, man. That's rough. Unless in the two years prior to that you'd only been in 4 restaurants... then maybe not so dramatic.
We have a local joint that has a patio on the "lake" - great place to have a mid-winter pint when the weather is mild and sunny...
You've seen the kinds of people that come from out of the area to ski towns........eesh
Oh wait........

Haven't been able to see family in 3 years.
Haven't been "to" work since October 2020.
Probably Feb 2020 since I last ate in a restaurant setting.

I got you beat on that: zero! From previously going out at least once a week with friends it was a rough change. Worth it though: not gotten the 'rona (yet), less sick with colds in general, nearly never an upset stomach and saving tons of money along the way. I support my favorite places by getting take out though.
very good read
How do death rates from COVID-19 differ between people who are vaccinated and those who are not?

Just got my "you've been exposed" alert from the CO COVID notification app. 7-days ago. Doing day count... Oh, what do you know Haley was with me that day, she's sick and we all feel like shit. Where were we? Winter Park.
Did you have to ride the COVID-Bus? I consider it a small miracle none of us got it when we were there on NYE.
Yeah, the shuttle just doesn’t seem attractive at all. Well, ever. But especially now.Did you have to ride the COVID-Bus? I consider it a small miracle none of us got it when we were there on NYE.
What’s a real life?
I’m planning to road trip soon to see aging family in declining health. Fingers crossed my isolated life keeps me virus free until I roll out, and safe on the road to AZ.
10 hour flight, pick up a rental car and then 4 hour drive to get to my parental units.
I might buy a biohazard suit for the plane when I bite the bullet.
We have eaten in restaurants very occasionally... flew to Tucson to visit in-laws... etc.
It sure ain't "normal" life, but it's better than... something.
i saw it should be ready for submission in March
we'll be three variants farther by the time its approved.
Mother Nature is sick of our shit!
Yeah we need:
a) to massively subsidise and provide logistics and vaccines for the rest of the unvaxxed planet to help stop new ones happening (a good use for the useless military? Might need a rebrand…)
b) have a rolling tracking/creation/approval process
c) serious mandates.

But it is likely to be a mutation from omicron so having omicron protection is beneficial. It is likely we will have yearly covid vaccine formulations like the flu.
Also I started feeling like shit today and thought perhaps it was covid. Then I remembered I got my flu vaccine this morning.
We can only hope this isn’t just wishful thinking….

T-cells from common colds could help scientists make the "Holy Grail": A variant-proof COVID vaccine
T-cells generated as part of the body's natural immune response to the common cold may help protect against serious illness from COVID-19.

I hear that drinking ordinary household urine helps boost immunity, particularly related to omicron infections.We can only hope this isn’t just wishful thinking….

Is two week old bum urine in an old Gatorade bottle more effective?
IDK, but I found the gatorade 32oz bottle was perfect for peeing into while in a tent. Drink it up....then it becomes your pee-bottle. What more could you ask for?

So, why don't any gatorade/powerade/water bottles from the grocery/convenience stores fit a damn bicycle water bottle cage? HUNH? Is it some sort of weird size? I know they make adjustable cages, but that's not the point!

Forget the pee bottle, where do I get a "Rubber side down" sticker?
Oh yeah, COVIDCOVIDCOVID...
