I thanked the CVS pharmacist located inside a Target when she gave me my $5 gift card. So I feel like I've done my part in showing appreciation. 

You certainly have and I’m glad you got something out of them. They had me on hold for 35 minutes today so I’m expecting $56

True but the fewer people we have here spreading it the better

That would be the equivalent of $375,000 a year if she only worked a 40 hours a week. Which obviously she wouldn't be. 

She blinked as it went by but would have to leave the current gig without a place to return. That isn't as easy to fill as it was when people wanted to help when this all started.

Played golf with my kid today and she never got to start her nursing career.  They were locked down with covid the whole time and rarely working the floor they specialized in. She had no problem with people not getting vaccinated but when you do get too sick their motto was don't come here, ride it out at home.  They can't find nurses now and some head hunter contacted her to go to a hospital in Louisiana free room and board for $180 an hour. But, y'all know that from your expertise.  Fake virus, fake vaccine.  Y'all are wasting time here and should be taking Vegas clean with those skills. 

That’s tough to beat but Louisiana is shitty. Lots of nursing jobs on USA jobs. Federal process sucks but once you’re in it’s all gravy. Pick the right military installation and they don’t work weekends. They have loan repayment incentives as well

They were probably printing out a receipt for a customer.

When I got tested they asked have you been within 50 miles of an immigrant.  You are better than that.

I think you swung and missed my point.

I got your point. I was just passing along the job info.

With that kind of money you would easily live in one of the houses with indoor plumbing

Sure, but the narrative is that they are the reason for all of this. They aren't. This variant, whatever its origins, was gonna flex big time in terms of morbidity given our social patterns and vaccination status. It is what it is. There will be a social feedback loop: people will retreat a bit, vaccination rates will increase and infection/hospitalization rates will decrease as a result. It's just going to be painful for a bit.

Not with all the other nurses outbidding you for it. The one with a bidet is going to go for so much!

Do you have something to back this up? From what I’ve seen cases have increased but the deaths have been minimal.

You saw what Adam posted about what your $1.4 million buys you in Los Angeles. No bidet.

1) You clearly don't know what the definition of "morbidity" is or very much want to convert the premise of my post.

2) I don't think that I need to provide any info in an effort to "back this up" regarding an argument that I didn't make and only exists here because you don't know fucking English.

3) Deaths aren't the only important metric. They never have been and they never will be.

4) Deaths ALWAYS follow cases. I'm not so sure why you always, and at this point predictably, expect people to die at the moment they are diagnosed.  With that said, hopefully (and probably) this time a less significant percentage of hospitalized patients die given the shifting population dynamics of those affected by this wave.

5) You want me to trust data provided by that liberal rag?

Hopefully or this shit will continue to mutate into other variants

You have a disease? Besides homoness

We all have a disease here: we're Angels fans.
