outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)

man when I visited in March '20 just before the world shut down my car gleamed.

I mean if you are very vulnerable and you isolated for 14 months and truly stayed in your house, didn't see your friends or family, had groceries delivered or shopped minimally, sanitized everything, and were very cautious, AND IT WORKED AND YOU DIDN'T GET COVID AND DIE AND YOU MADE IT TO A VACCINE, it's hard to argue with that, really. You can see how it reinforces the behavior.

Trying to wrap my head around the idea that the New York subway system is in danger of being too clean

I let my mail sit for like a month, but it's not because of Covid, it's because the idea of opening it fills me with existential dread.

My school theoretically has teachers wiping down all the student desks after every class period, which must be awful - I can't imagine the fumes. I haven't been doing that because I only teach one class, so I just assume everything gets sanitized at the end of the day anyway.

lol fair

They should find some way to infect rats with covid vaccine then send them out in the world to spread it. I'm sure that would go well.

These stories about investigating the Wuhan lab as the origin of the virus are giving me the vapors.

And those vapors will give you the virus! It's a vicious cycle!

lol

Profit forbid!

wish Forbes would stop spying on me

I don't know, you'd think all that sex and side hustling would earn you the occasional nap on the company dime, but I guess not. Back to the sex and side-hustling, wage slave!

I have not had sex, dated, or napped.

I could never do this, but I've got to give it up.

I’ve not visited the Shenzhen office of our company but I am assured that most of the team there put their heads on their desks and sleep during lunch

This doesn't seem quite the right thread for LOLz but nonetheless...

Nothing beats Herman Cain in that dept.

truly nobody, living or dead

A group of 117 unvaccinated staffers from Houston Methodist Hospital filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to avoid the hospital’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, saying it’s unlawful for bosses to require the shots.

The staffers join a growing list of employees challenging compulsory immunizations at businesses, colleges and other workplaces essential to the country’s reopening. Vaccine mandates have faced mounting resistance from anti-vaccination groups and some Republican politicians, even as health officials promote the proven safety of the vaccines and millions of Americans line up to get the shots every week.

The lawsuit against Houston Methodist was filed by Jared Woodfill, a Houston-area attorney and conservative activist. It appears to mirror a legal strategy used by a New York-based law firm, Siri & Glimstad, that is closely aligned with one of the country’s biggest anti-vaccination organizations but unaffiliated with the Houston litigation.

The complaint, filed in state court, says Houston Methodist’s vaccine mandate violates a set of medical ethics standards known as the Nuremberg Code, which was designed to prevent experimentation on human subjects without consent. The code was created after World War II in response to the medical atrocities Nazis committed against prisoners in concentration camps.

“Methodist Hospital is forcing its employees to be human ‘guinea pigs’ as a condition for continued employment,” the complaint states. It adds that the mandate “requires the employee to subject themselves to medical experimentation as a prerequisite to feeding their families.” Elsewhere, it falsely characterizes the coronavirus vaccines as an “experimental COVID-19 mRNA gene modification injection.”

...
Marc Boom, president and CEO of Houston Methodist, said it was legal for health-care institutions to require vaccines. Houston Methodist has done so for the flu vaccine for more than a decade.

“As health-care workers, it is our sacred obligation to do whatever we can to protect our patients, who are the most vulnerable in our community,” Boom said in an email Saturday. “We proudly stand by our employees and our mission to protect our patients.”

Boom announced the mandate at the end of March, setting a June 7 deadline for employees to get the shots. As of Saturday, 99 percent of Houston Methodist’s 26,000 staffers had met the requirements, Boom said.

“It is unfortunate,” he said, “that the few remaining employees who refuse to get vaccinated and put our patients first are responding in this way.”
