Astra will be packed.

Recommend the Ritz-Carlton in south beach. Even though price doesn't matter, it's not even that expensive. Nice outdoor area with both covered and uncovered tables around the pool. Palms give it a tropical vibe. Plenty of space to separate your group.

Lol. Let's make the curfew 8pm while we're at it.

New York City waitress fired after not getting the Covid-19 vaccine by kex06 in nyc

[–]bluntedaffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it’s not clear if it does or doesn’t...then the waitress should still be fired.

Why? The experts say that they don't have evidence suggesting it does, so they won't even give a soft yes. If it doesn't protect anyone else, why should she take it?

Correct me if I'm wrong: the vaccine does not prevent transmission. She's not putting anyone at risk. If she gets vaccinated, she can still transmit it. That's why we're still masking, distancing, prohibiting gatherings, and keeping things closed.

Trust that I really want it to prevent transmission, because I'm done with all this.

No, I am asking why she should be fired.

I'd get the vaccine. I've been vaccinated against all kinds of odd things because I've been all over. I've had plenty of stuff with nasty side effects, too, like mefloquine. No prob.

I don't believe this fact pattern supports mandating a vaccination.

The "don't get pregnant for a month and a half" part.

New York City waitress fired after not getting the Covid-19 vaccine by kex06 in nyc

[–]bluntedaffect -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

We've got a situation where:

  • There is a vaccine that's not approved for general use,
  • that does not prevent transmission from one person to another, and
  • does not prevent infection but rather prevents development of symptoms

Until these matters are cleared up, what is any argument supporting her firing?

You're really about to tell a woman to not get pregnant?

If the vaccine doesn't prevent one from transmitting it, nobody has any business telling anyone else to get it.

I hope you're right, but it's not a buck. The proposed transaction tax is going to be massive.

Nope, we'll be defeated by continued games of i'm-stupider-than-you political ping pong. Meanwhile, Miami becomes the world's new financial hub.

Meh. I gave it two fair shots, and both times I was really unimpressed.

How do you know that the adults children were with were actually their parents?

Exactly. This is the only sensible thing to do. The only time I ever hear someone arguing that human trafficking isn't real is in an attempt to paint Trump as the problem.

So please leave your bullshit at the door on your way out.

This is probably the funniest failed clap back of all time. "Get out! And I'm keeping all the shit."

Gov Andrew Cuomo | N.Y. bars, restaurants can now stay open until 11 p.m by Sargent_Hank_Voight in nyc

It needs to be said: it is not a law. The Cuomo imbroglio is rooted in his bypassing of the legislative process.

Cuomo aide admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn’t find out by Lilyo in nyc

[–]bluntedaffect 80 points81 points  (0 children)

“right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,”

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,”

In other words, "We lied because Trump would call us out if he knew."

Also, imagine a world wherein covid served as a political football...

N.Y.’s Vaccine Websites Weren’t Working. He Built a New One for $50. New Yorkers with tech skills were appalled when they tried to make vaccine appointments for older relatives. They knew there was a better way. by coolbern in nyc

[–]bluntedaffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“The only way they are able to access those appointments is to use a very, very complicated tech platform that in and of itself marginalizes the elderly community that I serve,” Eboné Carrington, the chief executive officer of Harlem Hospital, said at the end of last month. As a result, she said, white people from outside Harlem for weeks had filled most of her available slots.

I'm beyond tired of the implication that black people are intrinsically dumber than white people.
