      Except, apparently, American voters.

        • About the earlier conversation, covid is here to stay period. It’s endemic. We would need to essentially vaccinate 100% of all people forever until we eliminate all other potential animal reservoirs. We lost the opportunity to contain in 2020 or maybe early 2021.

          We just aren’t going to have an end. Like others mentioned above, it’s now about maximizing individual protection against the virus just like the flu vaccine. We need to get the vaccines, it doesn’t even matter which ones, to everyone on the planet regardless of whether they’ve had covid before. We need treatments. A change to how we are going to care for waves of covid in the future.

          So yeah, the more I think about, the more it makes sense to end the pandemic response and move to endemic response. This includes changes to how we insure the population and how we allocate resources. A doctor will never leave a patient untreated, that’s unethical and we don’t want that. We shouldn’t put them in that situation. But we change how those people choose to pay for their care. Increased premiums, 0% coverage of costs, etc. Refuse employment, admittance, travel. it’s a choice. Few are rights.

          The Right has b-tched about the pandemic and the response. The endemic response is going to be and should be hell. They allowed this to happen.

          Not that any of this isn’t obvious or new. It’s just finally clicking with me.

          • You will see a mass exodus of teachers (even more than is currently happening) if you do this wrong. We need student populations vaccinated at a much higher rate before we can do any of this. As someone whose gf is running an online school for her district I can promise you we are a bad semester away from full on educational breakdown. Teachers are already stretched too thin and if we just basically throw our hands up and try and move forward it is going to get really ****ing ugly.

            Now, if we mandate COVID vaccines just to go back to in person...then I might be with you. But trust me when I tell you the only thing more precarious right now than our Democracy is public education.

            • Oh yeah, covid vaccines for students is a no brainer IMO. Tack it on to the long list of vaccines already required.

                The problem is...if Biden does that he is signing his own death warrant. Does he have the balls to do that? I should hope so...the fact we even have to discuss it is why this country is a failed state.

                  Seems that if the localities actually see the crisis that you've noted, they will be forced to make it happen locally. Sure, there will be ugly confrontations, but better that than all the teachers quitting.

                  • Well, this is less encouraging

                    modern thinks there will be a "material drop" in effectiveness against omicron

                      I think MV nails it. That's a local problem to solve unfortunately. As are so many of the endemic responses.

                        Half the country doesn’t believe in education and would like to see the public school system go **** up.

                        • The country was on the brink before the pandemic. The pandemic is just going to push it over the ledge. I don't see how we survive this. Heard a great report this morning where they were talking about how no one believes the things that really happened with Russia and the 2016 election (it's in the Mueller report, and Rubio's own committee investigated and reported on it). They basically said, and I agree, that the same thing is going to happen with 1/6. It's inevitable. We live in a post facts, smash and grab world now. Get vaccinated to protect yourself but know this, you will have to get boosted every 6-12 months for the rest of your life and your life is never going back to normal.

                            • Schools were having a difficulty finding teachers before Covid, especially in certain teaching areas and geographic areas.

                              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
