I'll respect you in the morning.
Never was! mortality rate never increased from year to year. And the Flu went away.
Not at all challenging what you said...but I'm kind of surprised hospitals would not use this exemption as an out. To deny not only increases their risk of losing a worker but also puts them potentially in an awkward position of debating the veracity of one's faith.
I had the same thought! But then they'd be implicitly saying it wasn't necessary to begin with in a way. There is also the matter of training, since nursing procedures are different by country (even by state).
They just blame the unvaccinated for the hospitals being "full".
Patients won't give a shit! they will be pissed the fuck off.
I promise you this is not accurate for one hospital I am acutely aware of in this area. It is overcapacity and has been for a very long time. Plus it has a tremendous vacancy rate of nurses which does amplify the problems. Some nurses who are vaxxed will likely leave when they realize their workload has gone up even further.
So, it's a staffing problem, and their solution is to get rid of more staff.
Careful or he'll put you on the "ignore list" too.
It’s partially a staffing problem. They are also dealing with a bed shortage due to hospital levels higher than they were, say, two years ago.
Bigger tits, same vagina.
Only when convenient. That has been proven many times with many different fields of work. Military is a good example.
The law states "sincerely held personal belief." Christianity is based off a relationship with God and Jesus, NOT the church.
The deadline has been pushed to October 12 for those seeking a religious exemption. Those that chose not to seek an exemption are still under the Sept 27th date. I have heard that St Joes in Syracuse is denying religious exemptions citing that "their" deadline for the exemptions has passed. I don't think that will hold up well in court though.
The state union tried and gave up citing that further talks will produce nothing. 199SEIU was initially opposed to it, but as soon as the mandate was passed, they were all over it. I'm sure it was because they want to be on the good side of our current governor. All in all, the healthcare unions don't give a damn except for their dues.
See above.
I wouldn't be too enthusiastic abut that. Remember our last "republican" governor? At best, NY is only good at producing RINOs.
Its totally a staffing issue. It has been for years. At any given time, the hospital I work at has had at least a couple dozen nursing openings. I've been there for 17 years and for the most part, know whats going on. Last year when covid numbers were going up, the solution was to furlough a couple hundred staff. Mostly RNs that could have been used to help alleviate the stress of all the other nursing staff working 12 hour days, 6 days a week. Its all about ratios. Patient to nurse ratios, nurse to bed ratio, etc. Most hospitals artificially destroyed the ratio of beds to staff ratio to say that they were "overwhelmed." In reality, they furloughed staff to make it appear that way.
I would say if the religious exemption was denied it is Monday or they can be or will be fired. I’m sure they will extend it.
Maybe maybe not. It depends on what specifically the IT worker does. If it's something like working on servers or AV then yeah they may be in trouble. But for anything that the worker needs not physically be present can be worked around.
