Mandatory Vaccinations
Time is coming quickly when Covid vaccinations will become mandatory in NZ for many.
It seems there is going to be a 5 to 8 percent resistance if things are left as they are. But they won't be left as they are.
The simple facts are vaccinate fully and beat the Coronovirus disease or at least lessen greatly its severity and lessen the chances of passing it on so that people are not having to suffer or be hospitalised and/or die from it and so life can reach some kind of cautious normality.
The Delta variant of the disease must be rendered less damaging, less pervasive.
So teachers and the like will be forced to take the vaccination programme or give up their jobs. People want children to be safe and they are not with unvaccinated adults actively in charge of them.
And it of course wont just stop with those in the teaching and wider teaching profession.
If you have a family member unvaccinated, are they welcome into your home? I guess for most the answer is no.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
