I absolutely hate those checkpoints but that's cause they aren't always legit looking for DUI. I was pulled out and given a road side test: red eyes from allergies lol. Passed that because I hadn't been drinking. That turned into suspension of drugs and a K9 search. Only "drugs" in my car were SUPRISE my zyrtec. But I'm also in a small town where cops assume if you dress a certain way, then you must be up to something bad.
We're union so if they planned on mandating it would take more time to work with the union on it.
We don’t have sick days so that wouldn’t work, but I get your point. I think most companies are doing it to keep their workers safe, keep production from being distrusted or in retail or customer facing roles to instill a sense of safety and comfort in customers. I saw a recent poll that said consumer confidence in visiting theme parks dropped recently. It would be a nice benefit for Disney to be able to advertise that their CMs are all vaccinated.
We switched to no masks for fully vaccinated. You had to provide a copy of your vaccination card to be allowed to not wear a mask. We are now back to everyone wears a mask on-site regardless of vaccination status.
It was Florida Man at Ft Myers Costco. His employer then fired him after the guy went all out Karen on staff and fellow customers.
And half the adult population is fully vaccinated. Not nearly enough, but between vaccinations and antibodies the damage from Delta might be capped. The problem will lie if/when another Greek letter catches hold.
Insurers are going to have a lot to say about this before it's over too. Can absolutely see them charging a higher group rate for employers without a COVID vaccination policy. All once the vaccine is fully-approved and available for the entire population of course.
Anyone not getting vaccinated is part of the problem..... for other people who aren't getting vaccinated. So... who cares?
I mean, these vaccines DO work in the singular though. They're not 100% effective in the singular, of course, but if you were the only person on the planet with two doses of Pfizer and nobody else got vaccinated at all, it's still EXTREMELY effective.
Until FDA approval vaccines by end of August or early September before fall season starts.
Technically close to 60.7% of adults nationally and 59.1% in FL. So while FL is below average they actually aren’t bottom 10. I suspect part of the issue is FL heavily pushed the vaccinations for 65+ and due to a larger than avg number of 65+ (according to Family Guy FL is heavens waiting room
) the adult percent is boosted. The under 65 crowd is the problem right now and FL is further from average there.
There's also the seasonality component. July is when Florida, Texas, and Louisiana are indoors.Technically close to 60.7% of adults nationally and 59.1% in FL. So while FL is below average they actually aren’t bottom 10. I suspect part of the issue is FL heavily pushed the vaccinations for 65+ and due to a larger than avg number of 65+ (according to Family Guy FL is heavens waiting room
Not recently, though? Costco's current policy is "strongly recommended" masks in areas of high spread.
