I do have liberal friends changing their tune, specifically on in person school and admitting we need to live with Covid instead of legislating it away.
That’s the big discussion in Chicago now, teachers want to go back to remote learning and a growing number of parents want the kids back in school. Our district is in school and has remote learning for kids out with Covid or because the parents want it, from what I’ve heard most parents are choosing in class learning for their kids.
So what you are saying is they now agree with DJT?
The parking lot at my office building thinning every day. As I parked and walked in today it was rivaling April 2020 all over again. The parking lot is down to about 50% of what it was just before Christmas. I think the only reason there are a few more cars in the lot compared to April 2020 is because it is the year end accounting close and most companied must get their books and records wrapped to prepare for the earnings releases and audits.
Many of the office buildings downtown are the same. Some were filled up 3 weeks ago and today the homeless have reclaimed the parking lots as their home.
They are literally still saying in one breath that Trump is responsible for all the deaths, and in the next breath saying that we shouldn’t have taken all the measures that were supposed to save lives.
The issue current issue is Omnicom. We all hope that everyone gets it and we move on with herd immunity. But so many offices and schools are closing to “flatten the curve” or to “slow the spread” that herd immunity from Omicron is a pipe dream. They spent 2 years with 24/7/365 FEAR that too many are going to do everything they can to avoid getting in and hear immunity will simply never happen. Cheers to another year of COVID happiness.
To be honest, I think many employees are using this fear to their advantage. We can’t return to the office, it is not safe!
