I think everyone probably saw this coming:

“You can certainly get both the flu and Covid-19 at the same time, which could be catastrophic to your immune system,” said Burrowes, a family medicine physician and assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Central Florida.

“I’m definitely more concerned this year than I was a year ago,” he told CNN.

You would think one fucking idiot in the medical profession would have the sense to say to himself/herself "Gee, we've been saying we're 'more concerned now than before' so many times, I think people are maybe starting to tune us out.  Perhaps we should stop doing that."  But I guess if it gets you a chance to be quoted as an "authority" on the mighty CNN, you keep crying  wolf.

The medical profession (not individual within necessarily) has shown as much incompetence in this entire thing as the government and the media.  I have little faith in our "greatest medical system in the world" right now.

Doctors and teachers have become completely insufferable. Gov't agents have always been insufferable so no change there.

The bullying of the unvaccinated must end.

What are teachers doing that’s angering you?

What are teachers doing that’s angering you?

Not wanting to work for a year? Acting like they’re heroes and more important than other workers? Forcing 6 year olds to wear a mask? The list goes on and on. Obviously this is more school boards and unions, but plenty of teachers complained about how scared they were to go back into school.

This is a decent list. Writing their own obits was pretty obnoxious, as well.

I also said insufferable. I didn't say I was angry.

It really annoys me that I know who Randi Weingarten is.

Sorry…I’m here in southern Ohio and know of zero of those teachers. Vast majority in building everyday and there aren’t any subs so classes get divided and added into other classes LE snd I take double classes all the time to help out. Doing more than ever before and with a mask on (kinda)

I’ll say this one more time. I have around 400 students in my classes and in the trumpiest of areas with 32% vaccination rate and I swear on anything maybe 5 kids care about the masks……and the younger they are the less they care.

Maybe it should be said the teaching profession and not individual teachers.  There are a lot of stories like you’re of teachers doing their jobs - that is good.  However the profession has a disproportionate number of people who see themselves as “front line heroes” for some inexplicable reason.  Teacher unions embody this.  The teachers protesting putting their lives on the line are a sizable chunk and can kind of get you down.  

The medical / pharmaceutical professions are the same way.  I respect many but have lost a HUGE amount of respect and faith in our “greatest medical system in the world”.

Our grandkid, who is now in 1st grade, got sent to the principal's office last year for cutting up his mask and throwing it at the teacher. Not excusable but trying to make kids that young wear masks is pretty challenging.

Like many bad eggs….the noisy ones get the attention from those not in the field. I work with all kinds of inept and bad teachers, but not a one doesn’t feel like they should be at school or acts like some hero. Must be the loud ones in the big cities….who make 25% more than we do.

I remember seeing a Target commercial where they were celebrating their retail employees as "heroes."  Everyone has to be made to feel important.  One of the many scourges of our society.  I'm a teacher, and I just want to be left alone.

Don’t forget, the only profession that complains more about how much money they make more than fast food workers are teachers.

Why do you watch crap like this?  It seems like you and QO post more links to left wing news outlets than anyone on here.  I would guess you watch more CNN than the average person - left or right - by a long shot.  Quit giving these idiots air time on your screen.

your arent close to being correct.  An informed person who doesnt buy the BS headlines on ANY news outlet will scour most places to come up to what is likely the middle of the road of all the crap to find the truth.

Sometimes you find something that is so stupid you have to share it with others.  I am sure that 100% of the people on here would agree that the family in that story are the perfect storm of unhealthy to die from something like this.
