Probably because bombs aren't contagious.Kids who grew up during WWII still went to school and could hang out at the friend's houses.

Tell that to smallpox.
That made me laugh, good one.Probably because bombs aren't contagious.
That someone at the pinnacle of their profession gets paid significantly more than the average employee of another?Sure the direct comparison is wonky but it still points to a structural issue that needs to be addressed.
Comparing executive pay and employee pay in this way is pretty misleading, of course the average employee did not see a significant increase in their pay rate, that's not how typical unionized jobs compensation works.

Yep they did have drills in school, to hide under their desks.Kinda glad that my kids don’t have to learn to hide under their desks if an atomic bomb lands nearby….
We’ve had it pretty good for quite a while now, which is great!
I mean, they're highly experienced doctors, so their alternative job options are going to be paid similarly.Pretty solid for a municipal bureaucrat.

In fairness, a vaccine is a substitute to catching the virus (and the preferred alternative where possible).Tell that to smallpox.

She's highly experienced, and she has her Medical doctorate . I never said she was a GP or runs a practice.Etches has actually never been a practicing physician. She's spent her entire career in government. As is the case with many of the current leaders across regions.
Point was really that smallpox never evolved itself into the general millieu of mild viruses as some see guaranteed with covid. It caused plague after plague.In fairness, a vaccine is a substitute to catching the virus (and the preferred alternative where possible).

Increasing compensation seems like a crude way to address retention issues caused by work conditions. I mean, as a temporary solution to address short term issues, sure, but if the route of the issue is people being overworked due to staffing during a global pandemic, then the salary structure between doctors and nurses isn't really where I'd focus efforts.Sounds like we need more nurses and if a bunch of them quit due to working conditions, it sounds like we need to find ways to retain them and that usually means increasing compensation.
Hard to see a way to pay more nurses more that doesn't involve tackling doctors getting paid way too much (amongst other measures).

Dr. Peter Juni stated this today, 1 in 100 require hopsitalization, 1 in 1000 ICU,If you’re going to use a multiplier to factor in unconfirmed cases, you can’t use the .33% hospitalization rate.
That number is based on confirmed cases. It’d be significantly lower if unconfirmed cases were included. The true hospitalization rate is probably nowhere near .33%, let alone 1%.
It's not the unvaxxed that are keeping kids out of school, it's lack of foresight on governments' part.
It's honestly insane how people just refuse to accept spread is mostly due to letting vaxxed people do whatever until cases start going up then you resort to "it's all the unvaxxed fault!" when shit inevitably hits the fan.

So, looking into it, the increase is due to a settlement to bring the positions pay up to competitive levels for the role. It's a one time payment of 110k, orthree years worth of retro pay, added to the base pay.Sure. But she's a career bureaucrat, a policy maker.
I think it's awful that the bureaucrats have protected and financially rewarded themselves while the front-line workers have been left out to dry, so much so that many have quit their jobs.
And the golden generations kids where greedy and, screwed up the world and made billions of this pandemic.From 1939-1945, a World war raged. It involved millions of people. Death tolls range from 20-60 million. We in North America were spared. The fighting took place on all continents except here (Pearl Harbor aside).
If you lived in London, you would have been bombed fairly regularly. You would have spent 1940-1942 in real fear of an invasion. Your would have lived in real fear of terrorist attacks. You would have seen your Father march off to war with a good 10% chance that he would not return. No means to make money, you may have darn near starved to death. By 1943, the v1 and v2 was raining on you. If 12 in 1939, you would have been 18 in 1945 and off to war you went. To participate in the last few months, when fighting was intense and death rates were high.
At the end, Britain along with all of Europe endured an economic hardship that was crippling. It took the Marshall plan (please read up on it) to save Europe.
And the beauty is: by July 1945, the Americans had project Trinity and an atomic bomb was detonated. Leaving Europeans to spend the next 50 years with nuclear uncertainty and living on the front lines of the East/West conflict. Never knowing when all hell will break loose.
School aged today, versus 1939!!! those kids in 1939 survived, flourished and became humanity's most successful generation. They put a man on the moon in 1969, evolved medicine to heights we have never seen and advanced things in quantum leaps over all generations before them.
Humanity's golden generation was born between 1920 and 1940 and endured way more...Now think of the 80 and above that covid is trying to massacre.
