We have them driving freaking buses for schools. I think they are also helping out as admin in various hospitals due to shortages there.

I work for a public school.

I guess that I could be surprised but I just don't think that they will ok his mandates.

My least favorite thing here is having to worry about being called a shill or something else for having a different opinion. I've been a handshake forever because of this lol. I love the people here and hope wish that we could be more tolerant of different views. The free speech aspect is what drove me, and others I'm sure, here to begin with.

I agree. I think that people are wanting to get advice or commiserate with people with similar viewpoints. I'm sure that a lot of folks don't want to discuss it with the brainwashed Facebook people and hear about how much better they are doing because they are "vaccinated". Maybe it's good to have a dedicated thread but I think people ought to be able to post about it if they want to.

Gotcha. Thank you.

Who? Me?

I have no choice for work.

Did you take a covid test? I haven't heard of that symptom but who knows. Everything is covid

I am a teacher and it's definitely spread throughout the school..despite the masks. They passed out KN95 masks to all of the staff this week but I've refused to wear them. I think that this is going to be the end of the pandemic. Everyone will have had it in the next few weeks. I haven't worn a mask outside of school in over a year and still haven't gotten it yet. Hoping to just get it done with soon. Give me the sniffles and end this!

What is LEAF? I'm sorry this is happening to your wife! Terrible treatment right before Christmas!

Yes! I always end up crying when I get really mad and frustrated. I hate it

This was a popular book written before Covid though.

Makes zero sense to me why it wouldn't be even according to their rules. Then again not much makes sense about a lot of this.

Thank you. Absolutely agree. We're all in different places and dealing with different circumstances but we're all in this together. I'd hate for other people, who may have great points, to be too intimidated to comment.

Yes. This exactly. I feel like every point I want to make will be invalidated due to handshake even though I've been here for awhile. Enjoy reading but would like to be able to participate even if my opinion differs a bit without being called a shill

I only speak for myself but there may be others that, like me, are afraid to comment. I've been here for quite awhile but people that are newly commenting tend to get called shills or glowies so I continue to lurk lol.
