City Scraps Unvaxxed-Employee Testing Mandate

Now get rid of all the masks on the kids and all the masks in city buildings - you look foolish.

Lets see how long this lasts... My guess is: not too long!!!

No point in making some get tested, while people who are vaccinated still spread the virus. If they do bring back testing, every city employee should submit to weekly testing, if they truly care about the health and wellness of the community.

The wastewater COVID testing is showing increases of infections up to 1,000%.
Asia and Europe are having large COVID infection surges with the sub variant of omicron BA.2 which is 30%-80% more transmissible (but not more deadly.)
We need to continue to keep your hands washed and sterilized, don’t touch your face unless immediately after cleaning your hands, wear masks if indoors with windows closed and with poor air circulation when with people who are not vaccinated, or if you don’t know their vaccination status, and in crowded public settings with poor air circulation.
If you are not fully vaccinated and boosted you might want to get fully vaxxed.
Even mild or asymptomatic COVID infections can impact and change the health of your brain, your heart, your lungs, your circulatory system and lead to long term health conditions. Your odds of avoiding hospitalizations or death or long term damage from a COVID infection significantly improve when you are fully vaccinated and boosted.
Above all, be considerate of others who may be more vulnerable to the illness with comorbidities and preexisting conditions or may have more vulnerable loved ones in their households.
We need to be flexible and proactive in preventative measures as virus rates rise and fall during the transition to the endemic phase.
At some point we may be able to get a yearly COVID vaccine in the fall just like we do with the flu vaccines, that are designed to protect against the strains of the virus that are currently in circulation.
If we are lucky the virus will continue to mutate to be much less deadly, and we will develop immunity against it, so it will be only as dangerous as the flu or even better, the common cold.

we cannot lockdown again it is too detrimental to our mental health
