It's something to do with OSHA compliance; I'm not up on all the details since it's not my department.
Perhaps there will be new numbers to analyze soon?
Quote: DieterThe day job office sent around a memo this morning that all employees need to submit proof of vaccination or a statement of vaccination refusal.

My place is asking us to click a little button where we punch in. So yes, OSHA requirement may be hitting.
Today's sign said in VERY BIG letters- MASKS are mandatory, as we serve children who can't get the vaccine and need protection. It went on to say if anyone had an issue with this, to call a number and they would see about transferring you to a medical practice who didn't care about their patient's safety.
Last visit, they had little signs on every other chair saying out of use. This time, they had removed many chairs and each chair had a six- foot circle drawn around it.
When I asked the girl taking my blood pressure about it, she sighed and said she'd been told not to discuss it.
Quote: billryanI was at my doctor's office this morning and they had a new sign. When I was here about two months ago the sign said words to the effect that if you are fully vaccinated, masks are optional, but requested.

They are getting desperate to instill fear as much as possible. With hospitalizations and deaths down, percentage wise, as infections ramp up. Wise up people, you are being played.
Earliest variants flu legitimately more harmful to children, not so much this one. Difference thought to be other variants attack the lungs more, this one attacks bronchial tubes more. Hospitalization rates are NOT down for children, the opposite even if comparably less than adults.
Overreaction? Maybe. Parents tend to be fiercely protective of their children to what many would consider irrational, not so much different than pets as far as that’s concerned. Helicopter parents are going to do what they do. They’ve been asking younger people to sacrifice their livelihood at an undeterminable future cost to them for less healthy groups for a long time so probably not ridiculous to ask for the reverse of that for a shorter period of time.
Market economy at work? Well, I guess that is one way.Quote: billryanI was at my doctor's office this morning and they had a new sign. When I was here about two months ago the sign said words to the effect that if you are fully vaccinated, masks are optional, but requested.

Maybe when this is all over, that doctors practice might lose some customers in protest. It might lose some to death in the meantime, if it doesn't do this. Bit of a lose-lose situation..
All our UK hospitals, doctors, dentists etc have had chairs spaced out and mandatory masking, throughout. If the government had not mandated it, the local health authorities would have. Anyone claiming medical exemption was taken at their word.
Same with shops. I estimate 90% mask compliance in our shops at the moment.

So Doctors and their practice managers don't know what's going on. don't have a grasp of the real stats and just want to be unpopular.
Hmmmm..... What hospitalisations and deaths do percentage wise, is a bit moot, if infection rate is cancelling out (and more) the lower sickness rate. It is indeed a numbers game. Listen to those who know the numbers well enough to risk damaging their customer relationships and STILL think it's necessary.

In the U.S., most decisions of these types are made by a corporate manager who manages the health/hospital organizations that doctors all work for. These decisions are not made by medical doctoirs, they are made by corporation bigwigs. Just ask your doctor or his staff..
I wanted to ask her.. ‘Oh, since our state has a HIGHER infection rate than most states, you are hoping people say “yes” to show a lesser chance of spreading Onicron?’ I doubt that is the response I would have gotten had I just said, yes, I’ve been out of state.
I went to a pizza shop to pick up a slice of pizza and there were signs all over demanding masks be worn. One sign said they weren't medical referees and with heavy fines by the state, they want you to wear a mask no matter your vax status. I think it's a $1,000 fine to the store owner, and whether they can delegate that to you the customer...idk.
