If you don’t want to lock down, DONT!! I assume your a human with free choice and not a robot following orders or the main stream press.

We live in a Free country and a Free state. Do as you wish within the Law and Constitution. God Bless America!!

Just congested but even that is almost gone.”.
Looks like we’re all going to catch this cold sooner or later. Good thing we live in a free state.

in a free state? Does that mean state of animation? State of hibernation? State of inebriation? State of incoherence? State of trauma? Free of ghosts? Free of income tax? Free of many rainy days? A whole spectrum of meaning!

I wonder if it’s because the people still wearing masks (ME!) wouldn’t be in the square for any reason.

It's a cold. An easy way to get natural immunity. There will be no lockdown in Florida.

Was it the latest Omicron variant?

Interesting. Now all hospital workers were required to be vaccinated to keep their jobs and now a large number of them are out sick at the same time?

The real worry, which is happening in smaller hospitals, and having reduced services in larger hospitals, is sick hospital workers. Now, everyone's first thought about hospitals are doctors and nurses. But those are NOT the workers who are getting sick:

Janitorial staff is getting thin which results in slower room cleanings between patients, slowing down available rooms.
Food service staff is getting thin, cafeterias closing to only be available to serve patients.
admin and back office staff getting thin, meaning that reports for doctors and management to make decisions are slowing down,
as well as regulatory reporting.

XRay technicians are getting thin, as well as cardiac lab staff in places. . .

All these contribute to less available beds for sick people and for normal car and fall accidents with broken bones, etc.

the math is if hospitalizations are cut in half with less severity, but the transmission is 2x as fast or more, the same or more patients will need beds. . .

So make sure you drive carefully and be up on all your doctor appointments and drug refills or prescriptions so that you don't have to see the doctor to continue medications.

and yes, I listened to internal medical center meetings in the morning, so its not MSM or TV or web site reports, but actual multiple hospitals' reporting and decisions. . .

I do not participate in lockdowns and neither should anyone else.

We stayed off to the side, out of the square in our golf cart where we could listen to music and people watch, and yes we did wear masks.

hospital recruiter = hires as total cost to hospital = cost of recruiter + cost of nurse

Most labor contractors charge 100% (2x) employee rate, basically splitting the cost to the hospital with the employee

Coachk says if your daughter wants to work in the snow and ice in New England, PM us and we will pass along a contact information to the recruiter. . .

How long before a new strain of virus is identified and what will you do if this becomes the new normal

I think we should just live our lives
