oblong Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 CDC says omicron is 73% of new infections last week. Given the rampant spread we’ve seen in sports since they test all the time it makes me really wonder if we’ve all been exposed already?

You're arguing the same thing. Yup, Covid has pretty much made everyone look stupid at one time or another. Just pointing out that if government was in charge here, we’re still would have been fucked. I’d argue that capitalism allowed us to get testing ramped up better more quickly though.

In particular, those who are obese are more likely to suffer serious health effects from catching Covid. I was browsing through a study on obesity rates and the 2016 electorate. Unsurprisingly, there were higher rates of obesity among those who voted for Trump. So not only do Republicans have the problem of not getting vaccinated, they have the problem of having a higher percentage of their voting base suffer serious health problems and possibly event death from getting Covid-19. Especially since they vote in person. Going about their day maskless makes them bait for the virus, hosts. Hopefully, they don't get someone sick who's not able to get vaxxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbomb13 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I’m seeing a lot of stuff like this lately. The beer bar I go to in Detroit also had two employees test positive yesterday. This is spreading like wildfire right now, and I may need to reconsider any going out to bars and restaurants for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Wismic Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Why are we so worried about people testing positive for a virus? Do you know how many viruses we carry on a regular basis? So far omicron has only killed one old guy in Texas. Should we shut down society every time some old guy dies of something? Did old guys not die before covid came along? NHL is 100% vaxxed (one player isn't). NBA and NFL are over 95% vaxxed. Yet all three are cancelling games because of players testing positive for a virus. They're not dying. They're not going to the hospital. They're not even sick. If they are all contracting a virus with near 100% vax rates, what good is the vax? Why would anybody think promoting more jabs is helpful?

Individual businesses are making independent decisions that they feel is best for their staff and customers. Free market stuff. Live and let live. Nobody is forcing them to do that.

Motown Bombers Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 If companies operated in the best interest of employee safety, we wouldn't need things like OSHA. Most companies wouldn't shut down if they weren't forced to and would sacrifice their worker's safety for profit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERY NHL player (but ONE) is vaxxed yet the NHL is having a covid epidemic. Doesn't the vax work? The ONE got covid, went through it fine, and now has natural immunity. EVERY NBA player, but a handful, have been vaxxed, yet the NBA is having a covid epidemic. Doesn't the vax work? NFL - wash, rinse, repeat. How many pro players have died from covid? How many hospitalized? None? They why the hysteria? Now, how many athletes (worldwide) have died after getting the vax? A LOT more than have died of covid.
