Disappointing to hear from our Governor that 60% of nursing home staffs have elected not to take the COVID vaccine.
That just seems crazy to me. There have been some truly heart breaking stories about the virus getting into nursing homes. You would think that the staffs would want to do everything they can to avoid that stuff.

There's always a small percentage of folks who for religious reasons won't get vaccinated.
I'm ok with that, unless your job brings you in close personal contact with high risk patients,
as do most docs and nurses and EMTs I know. This whole medical topic gets politicized very rapidly
so we have to be careful here. And then there are some mindless "I don't wanna's" who basically have some
control issues and who bask in public attention. Bottom line here is this is medical, not politics and I think an ok
topic here if we trod gently.
But it's so not cool to so many folks, including that incoming Congressman who just died
from Covid. Many if not most of us now know someone who has died from Covid or whose health has been damaged.
One could never take good health for granted in the past, and I'm even surer of that in the future. Takes us too long to prepare a good defense
for these biological enemies, and until the war is won, lot of innocents die. So knowing the importance of this, taking some reasonable precautions
on an ongoing basis sure makes sense to me.
I have heard from local medical folk that initial vaccine reaction so far are sore arms and some rashes. Nothing bad.
