I'd rather we not use China virus. Covid is fine.

What I don't get is why it's OK to call it a UK variant or South African variant. I wish that would stop too.

I don't.  When discussing differences in potency and potentially diminished vaccine efficacy, I find the geographic descriptors to be far more memorable than something like B.113.17 or whatever.  

Well my (very large chemical company) employer sent out a note yesterday that if you're immunized and past the 14 day mark you don't have to wear a mask anymore.  They said they're going to rely on some sort of "honor system" and trust but verify.  I'm not sure exactly how that's going to work, but I think they can't legally ask to see your vaccine card unless you report to medical and show it to them.  So I think they're going to randomly ask people if they're vaccinated, and then send them to medical to verify.  It's kind of a weird situation but Monday will mark my two weeks post #2 so I'm ready to ditch this mask, hopefully forever. 

my daughter is a server for Outback Steakhouse

the Outback company is offering $75 for employees who are vaccinated, plus no mask requirement

this will require proof

one of her right leaning co-workers, that is anti-vax, doesn't think it's fair

My daughter is scheduled for her vaccination

hah, that's what my daughter and I think.

this other server is not being forced to do anything.  He/she can continue to wear a mask and avoid the $75 incentive, if they choose

Health privacy laws might say otherwise.

I should have held out for an incentive
