1 - an unvaccinated teacher is an idiot
2 - I'm certain the % of unvaccinated teachers is among the lowest of any profession (but that won't stop 847 from alluding to it being an issue)
I'm certain you are wrong.

I'd guess truck drivers are lower.

I agree with #1. I am certain #2 is wrong. I met an unvaccinated teacher last week; the only teacher I have spoken to for a few months.

Construction workers top occupations most hesitant to get COVID vaccine, study shows - Construction & Demolition Recycling (cdrecycler.com)

In a study, 46.4 percent of those in construction, oil and gas extraction or mining occupations indicated they ‘probably’ or ‘definitely’ wouldn’t get vaccinated.

They work outside, mostly.

Yes, they do work outside, but how they spend their nonwork hours is probably interesting.

Most I see around here appear to be Hispanic.  I hear a lot of Spanish near construction sites.  We see them coming and going on the streets.  I know the area NE of us has a lot of Hispanic and Asian immigrant population (and some good restaurants).  They often live in crowded conditions, many are sending money "home" or aiding other immigrant families who can't work.

We have a guy in our building who cleans everything, he's awesome, barely speaks English, but he works very hard even when no one is around watching.  Super guy, apparently has been here for many years I'm told.  

Our construction would collapse without the Hispanic population doing the hard work there.

I asked earlier how OSHA could enforce this mandate, and how smaller employers would respond to it.

With a federal vaccine mandate coming, OSHA prepares for enforcement : NPR

I think most with fewer than a thousand employees will simply ask, if they bother at all, and covertly encourage employees to lie if necessary.  So, they would have a record showing 100% compliance.  No fine would be possible.

Somebody could drop a dime on them, I suppose, but OSHA would be overwhelmed.

It's pointless to offer any advice on Christmas or any other Holiday at this point, and will be on December 15 also.

We are fairly quickly deciding this thing is endemic and we're going ahead with our lives.

we have several million folks currently sitting side by side no masks every Sat and Sunday and somebody wants to know if we should cancel Christmas

These so called experts are a joke
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Yes.

Been on a plane lately?

All the way up to boarding, from security to the gate, they ask you to stay 6 feet apart. All to get on a packed plane, on top of each other.

True this is.

I'm trying to imagine an airport where I could do something like that. I feel like the 6 feet stuff is now to the point of just some old stickers on the floor. 

On another subject, it's about to be flu season, or when BAB gets paid $10 bucks to get his worried mother to stop bothering him about getting a shot.

Just was at MDW. The announcements (about Federal "mask law" and distancing) were constant, and the place was overall pretty empty. Plane was fairly full.

Had a cheezborger at the Billy Goat for the first time ever. Last time too.
