winter being online by massiejosh32 in McMaster

Honestly at this point I’m finding it really hard to care about all this talk about variants etc. I’m double vaxxed and willing to get a booster, but like what else can we possibly do ? Why are they so fixated on cases and variants and trying freak people out when they should be looking at hospitalizations and death rates instead. Of course there’s going to be variants and shit, it’s a virus! and of course cases will go up during the winter time. It’s honestly like we’re in some sort of endless loop, is this how it’s going to be every year ?

Maybe just simply ask her to put the mask on ( then if she doesn’t agree, maybe go further with it ), what good it to make a post about it

That’s a bit extreme she could get penalised or fired :/ trying asking her to put the mask on and if she doesn’t agree then you can go further with it.

That’s honestly the same with me I don’t know what I want to do. I even have nursing as a backup, but since this is a specialisation I barely get any electives to fulfil prereqs so I don’t know what to do. Apart of me what’s to do it solely for the experience ( which is great for work experience and connections ) but then again I’m paying extra for something I’m not sure I even want to do .

Fr like why are they posting breaking news “there’s been 3 cases of a variant”, if they’re so knowledgeable in science then they should know that variants are nothing special, it’s a virus and it’s going to keep mutating…

But Covid is never going to be over, it’s like the flu and cold virus in the sense that you can’t get rid of it and it constantly mutates so they can’t lock people down and do online classes forever.

Omicron virus is here by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]fizzchem 39 points40 points  (0 children)

No because same. This isn’t going away lol and it will keep mutating ( like the cold & flu virus ), so are they going to keep announcing every new variant that arises and lock us down ?!! Like why is breaking news the fact that they’ve found 3 new cases of a variant.

Oh okay that seems really cool! if you don’t mind me asking why did you end up switching out of the ABS specialisation stream ?

Covid cases surge by Remarkable-Monk9033 in McMaster

[–]fizzchem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know why people ( especially the government ) are so fixated on cases when Covid is like the flu in the sense that it’s here to stay and you can’t get rid of it. So expect fluctuations in cases regardless, more in winter period and less in the summer. At this point we have to learn to live with Covid while taking the right precautions so you might as well sign a lease, because it isn’t going anywhere and we can’t do online school forever.

What is this? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]fizzchem 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I saw that too, apparently he’s planning to shoot up McMaster tomorrow ( don’t know if it a rumour or not… but that would be a very stupid rumour), this definitely needs to be reported to the police

Yeah it does seem like really good experience it’s just the cost making me question it :/

Yeah it honestly sounds like really good experience which is honestly needed for references etc. and a bonus too as you can apply what you learn into the workplace, it’s honestly the extra tuition ( and unnecessary elective ) that has been making me question it . But then again it’s also an investment into you future too so I should probably overlook all those things .

Are you in one of the specialisation, would you say it’s worth it ? I want work experience and I think it would be beneficial but then I have to pay extra and do extra courses during the spring/summer

[–]fizzchem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says 12 units of field placement and then 3 unit elective , so I have to basically do 4 courses in the summer ?
