Did you end up retiring to reduce risk? I know you were at least considering that move.
I'm retiring at the end of this year.
The way our school district is treating the issue (doing virtually nothing) makes me wish I had hung up my dry-erase marker last May.

I have a dark, sick appreciation for an outfit that put this into the world and then made a bazillion dollars selling us masks.

This thing just keeps eating away.  One of my neighbors died from it, another was on life support but partially recovered.  This happened before vaccines were available.  
Last Saturday, one of my nephews called me and some old friends back in Oklahoma died from it.  The wife was in the hospital and her husband was staying in a motel to be near her when he came down with it.  She died and he died 20 hours later.  Neither was vaccinated.
Just got word yesterday that the 53 year old lady across the street is dying.  She is bleeding from the liver and they can't stop it.  They are blaming it on a reaction to the vaccine.
We have several friends come down with it in the last couple of weeks.  They were all vaccinated and they had one or two rough days but were mostly symptom free in 3-4 days.
My wife and I had severe cases back when they were saying there was no Covid in Kansas.  They have since found some deaths that happened back then that were attributed to pneumonia that were Covid.  We have both been vaccinated since.  I have had 2 doses of Pfizer and my wife has had 3 since she has CLL and a very weakened immune system.  She is in a study for vaccine effects on people with blood cancers.  Today she went in to see if she has developed any antibodies after the booster shot.  She had very few after the first doses.
Hopefully this thing will start slowing down again.  I'm not seeing a complete end to it.

I don't think there will ever be a complete end to it. It's here to stay - as it was designed to do.

There's that 847badgerfan blabbering again.

For sure it'll never end.

It should slow down.

It's becoming endemic around the globe.  Eventually it'll no longer be novel and it'll just come around every year like the illnesses associated with scores of other coronaviruses.

I don't know if that's good or bad, but I'm just stating a couple of facts that are ironic at best and evil genius at worst.

And now you're starting to sound like me.

I hope this is right.  You should listen to that podcast I posted if you haven't.  Hopefully that's the least likely scenario but it's crazy to think about.  

My main question is in the meantime how much power does the western world hand over to its gub'ments?  Far as I can tell, once gub'ments get control of something, they don't give it back.

I hope this thread doesn't turn toxic the way the one on the Big Ten board has.

Here's a different question for you.  When do the American people rediscover the concept of civic virtue?

Right now would be fine with me.

I'll edit this one too if it heads that way.

But I don't see any problem with discussing relevant social issues and concepts, as long as we don't devolve into the identity politics party line bullshit that always sends the other thread off the rails.

So far, I'd say this recent conversation on this thread has done a fine job of staying civilized and conceptual.
