the way I see it is just get the booster. The booster is your bouncer in a bar. If something bad sneaks in past the front door it will chase it down quickly and help get it the fuck out before damage ensues. If there was a vaccine to prevent sex diseases how many of us would get it knowing we could ride bareback without a jimmy hat ? Think about it.
Coronavirus: The Sick Elephant In The Room

Back to work after a week in quarantine—- Not 100 %- lingering fatigue and congestion, which MD suggests common- waxing and waning as he put it…
As I posted earlier, I’m just about ready to walk away from work… Call it quits
The bullshit, backstabbing, and hypocrisy will never go away-You think you are valued, but as I said earlier, just a payroll ID number- Your colleagues, who you would think of as friends, are selfish and only care about themselves-
Whispering this morning-
“WTF is he doing here— supposed to be home for 10 days… I don’t want to catch it” etc etc… Going on all day
Meanwhile, I have an office which have not moved from—
This motherfucker is the biggest hypocrite- Smokes, walks around maskless and complains about the “( other political party.. constantly.. Has a young adult that lives with him - Runs around to bars and is an anti vaxer— Fucking hypocrite
Hate is a ugly word. Have to say I hate hypocrites and those who can only drive down a way one street…
That’s it for now

Most important thing is that you are recovering well.
People are in fear for their own welfare these days. The social gloss that once frosted society has eroded.
But, if it is a work situation, you are all, more or less, thrown together, not by choice, but by being similarly situated. You can’t expect too much from them.
I worked in the same place for over 40 years. Never made true friends there.
The American novelist S. E. Hinton once said, “If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky.”

Glad to hear you have (mostly) recovered.
I've probably been around a lot longer than you . I've been an employer, employee and consultant so perhaps I can offer some perspectives from my experiences.
From your post it seems you are letting some people live in you mind rent free. They are what they are and you are what you are. You may of may have colleagues who are friends (I had one who ended up as a life long friend, best man at my wedding, etc) but most are just people thrust into your life by happenstance for a common purpose. The best you can hope for is for them to be professional and cordial.
The only reason (unless you're one of the bosses' relative) you are employed by your company is you provide a means for them to profit more than what you cost. When that ceases so does your employment.
Conversely, you remain at your employer because the all the costs to you ($, mental, prestige, etc) are less than the remuneration (again —
$, mental, prestige, etc) you receive. When a better opportunity comes up, and this includes retirement, you leave.
I hope this helps.

Just a few statistics: As of 1/9 there were 677,243 daily cases of COVID, up 215% in 14 days, 130,006 hospitalized, up 80%, and 1,559 daily deaths, up 16% for a total of 836,236 deaths since the pandemic began. These stats are from todays NY Times and are quite concerning.
On an economic note, I'd think that providers, AMP's and LMP's must be hurting. Should give those that still venture out more bargaining power on fees and services.

For some perspective, are those stats for New York? The US? The world?
I ask because I saw yesterday that NY was finally starting to trend down the past two days.
If you go back 14 days then you are including the crazy spike we had around the holidays.
The funny thing about stats is that you can manipulate them anyway you want to fit the argument you are making or to match what you want to believe.
@Rider - the above comment is just a general observation and not directed at your post.

Well to know for sure maybe some of the providers who participate here can answer that.
@Amanda92411 , have you seen any down tick in business the past 14 days?

Trader, the numbers are concerning....period. As for hospitals, they are in very bad shape. Most all are well understaffed and overburdened due to the doctors, nurses and auxiliary support staff being out with COVID.
I heard that almost 2/3rds of those in the hospitals with COVID contracted it while in the hospital for other reasons. This is what I heard reported today on a reliable local news program.

and the 8.500 number is just for kids that have tested positive - not those that were admitted because of COVID. over 99% of all kids that are admitted to the hospitals are for other treatments almost no children (statistically so small as to be nearly nil) - these are kids that are in the hospital for various medical treatments, but because of the insane testing requirements in order to be treated - if their tests come back as COVID ++, then thats the number reported. Sadly this is seriously skewing the numbers to make it appear to be a bigger issue. To date in nearly 2 years of "COVID" time, not a single healthy child has been documented (in the US, UK and Germany) as having died from COVID - the deaths that have occurred have all been from kids with documented severe unmanaged/untreated diseases/immune issues and were morbidly obese.
