Pretty much....they've realized that the rona is eating into their voter base. The Delta variant is quite frankly not a joke. The fact that even Moscow mitch is trying to convince his constituents to get jabbed is pretty telling. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/mcconn ... 021-07-28/

Yay, Montana is highest in something. I know several otherwise intelligent people who are worried about the vaccine.

I'm in the CA Bay Area and....we have offices with severely reduced staffing that's affecting operations due to a massive and sudden uptick in positive cases (This has literally developed just over the past week). They just sent out emails directing all employees to submit vaccination status - if you opt out/decline to state or say you're unvaccinated you get to provide HR with recurring updates. If you're vaccinated then they stop bothering you. I haven't heard widespread adoption of this elsewhere yet...but I have heard that several other businesses are seeing this as well in the bay.

I give it until the end of next week before we start to see large corps start to require vaccination in order to work. This graph is about to increase in steepness and it will likely tilt severely in red states - we're going to see a full on 90 degree line. Good luck GQP - you have finally reaped what you sown. If the friggin CA Bay Area is experiencing this with a 70%+ vaccination rate I can only assume it's far far worse elsewhere.

I'm glad fatality rate is hovering low but there's a shitload of people in hospitals right now - potential for lots of long-covid cases after this for Florida.

Hey Ron,

The virus doesn't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican.

.....and Bay Area, Sacramento, and LA back to masking.

Arksansas, not usually attuned to being in the news, is currently attempting to one up Florida.

Conservatives everywhere have decided to just give up. Economy above all.

In Alberta:

1. No more isolation mandate for positive COVID patients. That is right: you can have an active case and there is no legal requirement that you quarantine.
2. No more mask mandate.
3. No more capacity limits, or really any restrictions of any kind.
4. No more asymptomatic testing, no vaccine passports.

They are gonna get walloped by Delta.
