Well, if the last month or so has taught us nothing else, we've learned that if you can stand in line for hours to get a test it's now safe to vote in person.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 12:16 amIf you are vaccinated.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 10:51 pmwe've got omicron. it's like the flu.youthathletics wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 10:00 pmAnyone checked in on what the flu is up to this season?jhu72 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 8:34 pm The U.S. may have happy feet when it comes to omicron.

It’s “safer”. Particularly since we have vaccines now. Did you vote in person during the last presidential election? I did. A lot of people did.

Yes, I was vaccinated. Your reply was in sequence of the entire conversation at hand...nothing personal, just flowing with the conversation. I simply know too many people that have not been vaccinated and now run around arguing the flu has been worse, that is what prompted my reply.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 8:48 amWeren’t you vaccinated?

Was able to validate my vote was received very easily as well.
I don't have an issue with standing in line, but I live in an affluent area with my voting center 5 minute drive, never have had to wait even an hour to get through the whole process...no splitting into lines for different parties, plenty of machines and poll workers...but imagine being in a situation where one needs to drive 45 minutes to the voting place (or not on a public transportation route), then being told that your party, which has many more voters than the other party has the same # of machines as the other party...and so, you need to stand in line 6 hours while the other party's voters slide through in under an hour? And your employer doesn't give you paid time off? Then they shorten the hours for weekend voting, making lines much longer...
YUP, that's what's been happening...voting centers have been getting closed where easy to get to for the pop that needs public transportation and relocated out of town, necessitating a drive or long walk from public transport. Other places are playing this nonsensical game with voting machines.
Might as well do a poll tax, or literacy test, or require ownership of property...all have the same purpose. Discourage voting by some citizens.

Not only do the costs of these hospitalizations get borne by all taxpayers and insurance payers, the other reason for concern is access to care for non-Covid related issues, whether chronic diseases or trauma.

Yup, most people don't...my family enjoys a lot of great relationships at Hopkins as well, various close friends on staff at high levels, mom was very heavily involved in Women's Board for many years, sister is now.
