Coronavirus
sKePTiKal:
Because Hol works on set with producers & "name" cast, she MUST be vaccinated and she MUST be tested every day before she's cleared to work. Same with everyone else, everywhere on the crew. Everyone is masked, even on 12 hr days.
This current production has already been down 2 weeks, due to people falling out with covid. She came home early last week, as well, because the producer is still out. So, I'm still glad I'm a hermit. Even though I can't base any avoidance of the crap on just that reason. She is terrified she'll get it and give it to me... and her anxiety manifests in - shall we call it, VIGOROUS? - ways. She gets yell-y about all the bad things going on that none of us are responsible for or able to control.
No doubt, the virus is mutating faster than vaccines can be adapted to prevent infection. So while I'm sure it HELPS, it's not a "Get Out of Covid for Free" card. The idea that pro and against the vaxx has gotten cultish, I totally agree with. I get that everyone has to make the best choice for themselves. And it's a waste of time/energy trying to convince people to change their personal decisions. Not to mention, really frustrating.
Meh:
Yep the politics of Covid has gotten out of control.
Wow Skep that's pretty intense. I do understand people being careful. The behavior of being careful though in a group that constant testing and everything contributes to the anxiety though. Not saying they shouldn't do it just that it sounds like an anxious group.
I've got so many things on my mind that everyday I totally forget to worry about Covid. :(
Sounds super stressful though and it's interesting that you are having a convo about it here because elsewhere I don't hear people talking too much about personal accounts of it anymore.
sKePTiKal:
I just thought I'd pass it on Mouse. This is her real experience. She brings it back to me.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of what they should do. I made my choice. Others need that grace too. I don't think any less of people choosing different from me. It's their lives. Their choices. It's OK with me; truly.
It makes a hard job harder. She sez she probably won't go back to it. (there are other important factors) But she'll still keep trying to work in this industry. Making more money per hour.
I really don't go off the farm much anymore. So I don't know what it's like "out there".
Meh:
Oh, I believe you Skep.
Corona virus still does worry me and I take it seriously.
sKePTiKal:
It is exhausting Mouse. I'm too old to care that much. I have lived a life. But I'm still not "average". (How is it??!) But here we are. We're dealing with all this crap.
Just another day; more crap to deal with. And yet neither you or I will not go out, without screaming our truth to the world. And today is NOT that day. We still don't do that. I really don't know why it's not now. Maybe it should be. Maybe it would save someone. Who is supposed to decide? Is it US in the end? I don't know.
I really wish I had answers that were satisfactory. I don't.
