My beloved is also a physician and her hospital was mostly just doing just temperature checks at the hospital entrance and not full testing. Even the requirement to get scanned with a handheld thermometer created conflict with the usual union reps and difficult staff, so it would have totally blown up if they had tried mandatory invasive testing. The fact is that even modestly sized hospitals employ hundreds of people, and any group of hundreds of employees will include at least dozens of dumb ignorant asshole yambags. Thereās no getting around it.

Our answer is - we donāt know.
Itās going to be a game time decision. Itās going to be devastating to my daughter if she doesnāt get to go back to school in person.
Iām hoping our numbers crank down a bit before the school year begins and our decision will be easier.
As it stands now, Iām slightly leaning to sending her back but Iām still not sure.

What about operation warp speed? Trump made the vaccine!
But Rumble has some other doctors putting videos up that says the vaccine causes Covid!

So Trump deserves credit for the vaccine, but we canāt take it because it causes Delta. Got it.

Not a real fan of the media protecting this particular āsourceā.
This guy dresses like this:
For a publicity photo.
Also hopefully I can hate the disinformation dozen and wish for their demise.
Sending her back to school. One year at home was enough (both for her and for us). Not confident in the decision, but think itās the best of bad options at this point.

In some slightly positive news, vaccination rates in the US donāt seem to be declining any more. Rather they have leveled off at about 450k per day. CDC COVID Data Tracker

Our PM defending a member of his own party leading anti lockdown protests is a bit confusing but thatās par for the course in Australia right now. At least weāve surged up to a mighty 15% vaccinated! 38/38 OECD woo.
Looks like Montgomery County (where weād be) tentatively plans on being masks required. This absolutely blows.
Pretty interesting to see the UK seemingly in a period of decline. Any guesses as to why?
These exponential rises can only last for so long.

Itās been mentioned that a lot of mild cases are not getting testing but thereās not been any data on this yet to sort through, freedom day on 19th July has made people here feel more relaxed & weāre expecting a surge in 2/3 weeks.

66%+ of adults are fully vaccinated, so thereās that.
School holidays are keeping the little blighters away from each other.
But lockdown was only lifted 7 days ago, so itās not certain it will continue to drop.
