This is an important message from Summit County/Park City Emergency Alerts
Summit County has implemented a face-covering order in response to the Omicron surge.

This Order begins at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, January 7, 2022 and is currently in effect until 5 p.m. on February 21, 2022.
I wonder what this means for lift lines, and gonjola occupancy???“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

Of course he didn’t die at home - he died in hospital. So he took up a bed. Maybe helped cancel a cancer surgery for one of your loved ones. Maybe exposed some nurses and doctors so they have to be off sick and their colleagues have to do double shifts to look after other fat crazy losers like this.Last edited by bennymac; 01-07-2022 at 03:50 PM.

You can't make this shit up. And I'm not referring to the quote in the article title which is bad enough.
After disparaging the vaccine and claiming mouthwash kills covid, Johnson says he "continued to be amazed at the resistance to anything that might reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms". You mean, like the vaccine? Asshole

You know I think I'll make my own informed opinion about where and when I can shoot my gun. It's my individual 2nd amendment right and shall not be infringed. BANG BANG anywhere I want not intentionally aimed at others.. FREEDOM! Walking around a crowd without a mask, same thing. Folks should protect themselves from falling bullets and COVID breath if they're worried about that. I'm not..

So we're in the 100 employee mandate and we have one employee who has been with us for 35+ years saying he's going to quit if he has to get tested and wear a mask and another long term is taking and unscheduled vacation to start. Overall we have around 15 people unvaxxed out of 105. A couple have mentioned possibly getting vaxxed instead of going thru the testing and masking. I suppose that is the goal of this mandate, but I'm not sure it's going to work.
As much as I'm pro vaccination, I'm not sure I agree with this mandate. We have to allow employees time to go get tested every week and we need to log all the info and just deal with it. We're a small company, like most, understaffed as it is. We are also specialty whereas it takes years to learn the intricacies of the business, not difficult per se, just a lot to learn. So just canning an long term employee is cutting off your nose despite your face.
I'm just not sure I agree with 100+ employee thing. Should it be all businesses? There is obviously a big difference between a 100, 1000, 10000, etc employee company and the resources to handle a new mandate such as this. I don't know...I just wish all the kooks would just get the gawd damn shot!!

I’d look into that - I don’t think the time to take the test is on the clock. (This might vary state to state)…

Devil's avocado: the employees who are being shitheads about getting vax'd are causing the need for testing. But totally agree - so called mandate does create hardships and (by design) friction. To me, it's a tool you only reach for when you're out of options.
Your line of work is probably different that mine; someone who is 35+ years at a company and willing to leave over this, I'll just say I question their judgment and usefulness. I have bigger shit to worry about than babysitting adults.

As much as I loathe the HR team… They have had a tough time the past two years. HR has to bear the brunt of all this bullshit. I don’t envy those folks; dealing with all the changing requirements, keeping logs of peoples medical info, constantly being asked questions as if they are infectious disease experts, having to read and deny bullshit religious accommodations / vaccine exceptions requests…

Don't look now but those SCOTUS judges who belong to that church famous for excommunicating scientists like Galileo appear to be leaning towards striking down the mandates... in spite of a mountain of precedent where vaccine and other public health mandates have been bulletproof at that judicial level.

Not a lawyer (no shit) but isn't the question whether or not OSHA has the jurisdiction to mandate vaccines, not whether or not vaccines are a good thing or mandates are legal?
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Yes.
NYT- "Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh suggested that the governing statute had not authorized the agency to impose the mandate clearly enough"
The question of mandates for healthcare workers funded by .gov is a different issue on firmer ground w a solid history of vaccinations being required.

Absolutely. We are blue collar and deal with repeat blue collar customers. We sell to industrial, commercial, and residential contractors. Primarily residential in most of our markets. Many of our customers are probably anti vaxxers too...well, definitely. It's a tough situation for me to look at objectively. These people are nice people, but just so caught up in conspiracies and flat out lies. Once I get beyond being pissed, I just back up and become sad because there is nothing I can do about it. Their minds are what they are and I cannot change them.

I got notified last night a client I met with (all masked & vaxxed/boosted) this week tested positive.
Ugh. Gonna test in a couple days. No symptoms yet; hoping I’ve dodged it. But my kid woke up feeling shitty. He wasn’t at the meeting, but he’s been at school all week.
OR caseloads have made records each day this week going from under 3k/day to over 10k/day in a week.

Apparently Gorsuch refuses to wear a mask. The Court limits spectators to reporters and clerks they all have to wear N95's. Sotomayor still attends remotely because she's diabetic. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...gorsuchs-mask/

This sounds like the situation my biggest client is facing. As overwhelming as the evidence is, it just doesn't matter to some people. Some of these guys literally say they won't listen to numbers because "numbers can be made up." They don't even bother to cherry pick nonsense.
I know too many who went into their cocoons as simple, obstinate morons and emerged political martyrs thanks to any talk of mandates. It's the excuse they needed and it came just about the time their stupidity was becoming most obvious. The "excuse" wasn't really needed, of course, but the morale bump from a new rallying cry certainly was. Last summer they were wearing down. Now they look forward to a supreme court decision as if it could be a scientific breakthrough. Now they hit reply-all and air their grievances to what's left of the company every time HR sends an email about the test plan. (Seriously, HR: you can't bcc "everyone"?) They're fearless warriors for truth now.

I’m there with you. We’re stuck in this damned if we do, damned if we don’t situation with the mandate. While part of me wants it to happen so we can just conflict it out to resolution, it’s not like we don’t already have our hands full with everything else going on in re: the pandemic; to the point that we have to remind ourselves sometimes what the business even actually is. I don’t think weekly testing is tenable, really.
We can decide all we want that testing costs and time aren’t borne by us, but at the end of the day if we’re relying on unvaxxed staff to do a job or open a location and they don’t/can’t come up with the wherewithal to comply with the weekly testing requirement, we aren’t doing our business any favors if we aren’t prepared to help them manage that. These often aren’t the brightest and the best we are talking about, here.
Ultimately, I think the choice is non-compliance with the mandate or taking it a step further and just requiring the vaccine. Maybe it takes a few months or a year to grind that out, but I have a hard time seeing it not end up there for most.focus.
