[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sick of the people who feel restaurants, bars, other public venues should be closed during this wave. I work in a service oriented industry. We all have to work. Not everyone can WFH. [/quote]

I'm sorry, PP. What some governments have done is distribute hefty subsidies for people like you. The USA is not very good at that, compared to the more socialist-leaning European countries. 
Saving lives is more important than a temporary hiatus in jobs or education - but clearly a lot of US states don't believe that. I try not to think about it too long, because it gets depressing, but sadly this pandemic has shown that people have no sense of civic duty, no feeling towards their fellow human, and just push ahead with whatever they feel like doing.

Are there countries doing this for Omicron, or really any wave now that we have vaccinations?  I'm pretty pro-socialist policies in general, and this absolutely was an approach I wished we were taking in March/April 2020, and the government actually did do something for a lot of workers via unemployment (increasing it, increasing eligibility to cover self empllyed).  But I'm not sure that is the right answer now. I don't really see the end game.[/quote]
