Lol almost the entire population is vaxxed. So just from a numbers perspective at some point you’ll run into this in areas.

And for older population that is vaxxed can still have issues that make them vulnerable.. which is exactly why you CANT have unvaccinated healthcare workers coming through and playing Russian Roulette with their lives when they have weakened immune systems and or conditions that have them in enough of a weakened state to be in a hospital. Second statement at those insinuating otherwise.

Weird you weren't concerned about any of this when I told you months ago that further variants could negatively affect the vaccine's efficacy. Sounds like more of an excuse not to get the vaccine.

Very odd. 40% of them are listed as vaccinated and 25% are listed as unknown vaccination status. How are they coming up with 2/3 being vaccinated?

The national guard isn't equipped to fill 16% of NY's hospital staff. There aren't even that many people in the NY national guard.

Scabs don’t exist? Idk.

Are you just learning that traveling nurses are a thing? Alabama is going to start bringing them in next month, Rhode Island has already been using them, and Kansas City has been doing the same. This isn't some new thing she came up with out of nowhere.

I'm going by what she said.

Some New York hospitals prepared contingency plans that included cutting back on noncritical services and limiting nursing home admissions. The governor also drew up plans to summon help from National Guard members with medical training, retirees or vaccinated workers from outside the state.

Which is ridiculous.

Yeah, man. Traveling nurses are "vaccinated workers from out of state."

They meet the requirement to get the job - being vaccinated - that someone else doesn't. Welcome to the world.

He’s not allowed to not be outraged until the people who told him to be outraged tell him he no longer needs to be.

God, Boebert is such a dumbass.

Here's from your Birminham article.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - COVID-19 hospitalizations are continuing to trend downwards, but state health leaders said that doesn’t mean staffing conditions inside hospitals are improving yet.

“There is not a large pool of nurses out there from which to draw,” said Dr. Don Williamson, the President of the Alabama Hospital Association.

Alabama has more than $12 million in federal funds to bring in traveling nurses to help staffing shortages in crowded hospitals, but Williamson said we have to wait our turn.

“We are in line behind a host of other states,” he said. “It is probably going to be into October before we get staff on the ground.”

I can imagine the dystopian future when all states have this mandate and all our politicians are like, "well, we'll hire from out of state, no biggie."
