Casualty essentially means someone involved in an incident who needs medical treatment. The person is still alive by all accounts so far.Well if they were covid positive guess you get your wish.The helicopter transferred a CASUALTY unless there is another use for it I'm not aware of.
I agree. But I am not sure now though...... I have a friend who is a manager of 12 hair salons and cannot hire anyone (or I should say the one's she had) because they say they are still afraid to come back or taking care of mom still. Being serious. Still on state unemployment and still receiving fed benefit. And cannot hire anyone even with bonuses.
Hmm, interesting. Maybe what I read is that it was only to continue through August. Though if cases don't drop soon maybe they would extend.
Ohhh ok. But Why do they use the word casualty in this case? It sounds so final.
I thought the same thing. But reporting out of Liverpool from what I understand. Just a different meaning or way they use the word than we would typically do.
Cool. And here I was trying to be fancy by saying “taken to hospital.”
Because from a broader sense a casualty means one that is affected by something. Car accidents use casualty to not mean death often.
We are also so used to the word casualty having a different connotation in the states.
I wonder how many UK people I’ve killed by accident. “Forty people died!” “Nah, just flesh wounds.”
That's a little bit of a different situation, I would think...they've been on unemployment already for a while, I'm guessing? This isn't a continue working from home and then lose your job thing.
Masks here in BC are now only a recommendation for those 12+ who are not fully vaccinated.
I can technically go to a store and no longer have to wear a mask… but I still do
What does “casualty” mean to you? The definitions I’m seeing in American dictionaries are consistent with my British understanding of the term, except that we also use it to refer to ER (though A&E, short for Accident and Emergency, is more common).
Casualty usually refers to individuals who have been killed/died.
They have been on unemployment since last March 2020.
the American definition is pretty similar to the UK definition, but like I said, we are so used to seeing mass death after seeing a mass casualty event that I think the words get conflated.
People have just gone through the worst times of their lives. People will not come back to work I believe until the end of the summer. They are taking this time to realize their worth to a employer . If anything the last year and a half has done is make people think about how they were being treated and what they believe they are worth. To think that the extra unemployment is the main reason no one is coming back is wrong. Is some people enjoying the money before they have to find something? Sure. But I believe, the main reason is people aren’t going to be treated like crap for 8 bucks a hour anymore. Not after them seeing they were considered “ front line workers”. Want employees? Pay more. My buddy with the sandwich shop had the same problem. Couldn’t get any help. He up the hourly salary by 2 bucks, offered bonus if the stated 3 months.. then 6 months. Filled the spots in a week and a half.
Tell me about it.
