From tonight's news - some hospitals are no longer delivering babies because so many nurses have quit rather than get vaccinated.

They probably picked the wrong career.

I had that same thought. I know the media sometimes try to characterize the vaccine noncompliant as red state rustics, but people of color and PhDs also seem to be among the reluctant. But you would expect the medically trained to be among the least resistant.

Tons of people of color in the Chicago area have gotten sick/died from Covid, yet they keep mentioning they don’t want to get vaxxed due to a history of colored folks being guinea pigs for medical experiments. And a lot of them are apparently nursing home workers or home health aids.

They probably ARE as a whole population better vaccinated, but outliers exist.

My brother who is in respiratory therapy management has had three vaccines so far. He dares to speak an occasional calm truth about media frenzied reports that are politically motivated. He was Timed-out on Facebook, shockingly, some time ago when FB made their big sweep of the politically incorrect.

This is a guy who speaks calmly and rationally, but has the Wrong point of view about many things.

I keep seeing this marriage of MAGA hat wearers and black folks as a new episode of “Black Jeopardy, with Tom Hanks” on Saturday Night Live. It would fall into the “They be Sayin’” category for $600

24 minus 8, is not limited?
I was called last month for Jury duty. You need to see if your notice has a call a day before showing. At least locally, they are trying to limit people's exposure and are delaying/settling, etc. All Jurors for that day were released the day before. This releases me for three years.
A doctor is required to state a valid medical reason, under oath. You might try a psychologist or psychiatrist and see if they could provide a note.

Spoke to the nurse today. They said I would need a note from a psychiatrist. Explained I had a $400 deductible and that is burdensome to me but she didn't care. Emailed the court explaining the situation and asking can I do my jury service remotely. Though my brother was telling me today some of the issues with Zoom so I would rather just be excused.

Zoom issues:

1. They want your email log-in info and can then go through your emails.
2. Big tech can compile your image for a facial recognition database that can be subpoenaed by or sold to the government and used to target any class of citizens they want to go after.

replaying “classics” is always in order.
