Many antivaxxers do seem to have a screw loose, so some fired asshole might come back to work with a gun. Mandates are coming for most working people, healthcare workers are just a bit ahead of nearly everybody else. In a month the howling will be intense as the mandates bite.
Boy that was encouraging news lol.
Mandates should be here on both sides of the border by the end of the month, or so say many experts and insiders like Fauci. I figure there will be a shit storm about it in the States where it will have the most effect, especially when the healthcare insurance companies weigh in. In Canada mandates should help to get younger working people and students vaxxed up and raise our vaxx rate to 90% by the end of fall. I figure mandates will have the biggest impact in western Canada and Ontario.
mmmmmm, 3 gummy nightI had a 4 paragraph rant for all of the vaccine naysayers but I lost part of it (3 gummy night) and to fucking lazy to redo it so........
Ya more like a 3 gummy day. The worse the day the higher count at night lol.mmmmmm, 3 gummy night

Anti-mask Tennessee parents caught on video screaming threats at fellow parents who support masks in schools

Anti-mask Tennessee parents caught on video screaming threats at fellow parents who support masks in schools
Anti-mask parents in Franklin, Tennessee, harassed and threatened parents wearing masks outside a Williamson County school board meeting on Tuesday night after it approved a temporary mask mandate for elementary-school students and staff.
- Anti-mask parents harassed and threatened other parents outside a school board meeting on Tuesday.
- The Williamson County board had approved a temporary mask mandate for elementary-school students and staff.
- "We know who you are," one man yelled at a masked parent, adding, "We will find you."
A video showed a crowd of parents outside the building chanting "will not comply" and "no more masks" as pro-mask parents, some of whom were doctors and nurses, exited the building.
"We know who you are," one man yelled at a parent trying to drive out of the parking lot. "You can leave freely, but we will find you."
Another man repeatedly yelled at the same man, "You better watch out." Another held his middle finger up to the car window and screamed, "Fuck you."
A few protesters urged the group to be peaceful and insisted that the police officers attempting to control the crowd were "on our side."
"The news is trying to capture you angry," one man said. "We're going to do it the right way. We're not going to give the news what they want ... and show the people in power here how flimsy that power really is."
The man added, "We'll show them that by behaving like parents tonight."
At the crowded meeting, a diverse array of parents in one of the state's wealthiest enclaves spoke for and against the mask mandate. The parents included many physicians and other health providers who urged the board to mandate masks in order to slow the coronavirus' spread in schools and prevent closures because of outbreaks. Anti-mask parents regularly interrupted the meeting.
"There is only one enemy amongst us, and that is COVID," one parent, a pediatrician, said. "And in order to prevent its spread, we need to mask up."
In deep-red Tennessee, local school boards are empowered to make decisions about whether to require masks in schools. Williamson County's temporary mask mandate is set to expire on September 21. The state's Republican governor, Bill Lee, has so far resisted calls from the right flank of his party to prohibit schools from deciding mask policies. Tennessee has never had a statewide mask mandate.
Many Republican leaders in Tennessee have fanned the flames of the political debate over COVID-19 mitigation efforts. In one extreme example, the state government fired its top immunization official, Dr. Michelle Fiscus, last month after the health department urged teenagers to get vaccinated. Under the state's Mature Minor Doctrine, established in 1987, caregivers aren't required to have parental consent to vaccinate minors over the age of 14.
After criticism from conservative state lawmakers, the department ended its digital vaccination outreach to teenagers.
The state has one of the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates in the country: 40% of the population is fully vaccinated, behind the national average of 50%. And it has had a surge in infections and hospitalizations as the hypercontagious Delta variant spreads.
But Tennessee is not an outlier in its politicization of the pandemic. Public-health officials across the country have been targeted, harassed, and threatened over their efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.
because you need to prove what libtards the left is.
Florida too on the down low; seems DeSantis was the last to know.States requesting federal help to combat latest surge in COVID-19 patients
Mississippi officials have requested the use of a military hospital ship.
Several states are requesting or beginning to discuss future asks for federal help in battling COVID-19 surges, according to a new federal document obtained by ABC News.
Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana are among those reporting staffing and hospital capacity concerns as the number of COVID-19 patients rise, according to an internal U.S. Department of Health and Human Services planning document obtained Wednesday.
Mississippi officials have requested the use of the military hospital ship USNS Comfort to help "provide potential [intensive care unit] capacity or a step-down unit for COVID-19 patients in the event COVID-19 hospitalization rise," according to the document.
A Mississippi health department official confirmed Wednesday that the state has requested that the federal government send a military hospital ship such as the USNS Comfort, which treated over 180 COVID-19 patients in New York City last year.
"We began conversations with them," Jim Craig, senior deputy and director of health protection, told reporters during a briefing. "The way that you do that is put a request in for the resource. So we have requested information about how the USNS Comfort and-or its resources could ... come and provide assistance in the state of Mississippi."
The state has also submitted a request for clinical support staff as health care facilities have "become stressed," according to the HHS document.
Mississippi officials addressed the dire situation the state's health care system is facing Wednesday, based on the case positivity and hospitalization rates in the past week.
"If we continue that trajectory, within the next five to seven to 10 days, I think we're going to see failure of the hospital system in Mississippi," Dr. Alan Jones, associate vice chancellor for clinical affairs of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, said during a press briefing.
Seventy of the hospital's employees are currently in quarantine, and the medical center will be setting up a field hospital in one of its basements, hospital officials said.
Statewide, 920 more health care workers are needed amid a labor shortage, according to Gov. Tate Reeves.
"Honestly, the real challenge is NOT the physical beds -- hospital beds or ICU beds. The challenge is our hospitals may not have an adequate number of health care professionals (docs, nurses, respiratory therapists, etc.) to staff those beds," he wrote in a lengthy Facebook post on the state's COVID-19 situation
Elsewhere across the country, Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma officials are working to request or are considering requesting staffing support, and Arizona officials have requested over two dozen nurses to assist at Kingman Regional Medical Center in Mohave County, according to the HHS document.
