Victoria doing the hardcore lockdown stuff...
Agreed.
Thanks for the expert advice. I'm sure the Ministry of Health have a position open for you.
An interesting development with vaccines, Russia is testing allegedly on its own citizens, with some doubts being raised already. The PRC has decided to test theirs in Indonesia, Brazil & Turkey, but not on their own.

Did you fellers ever think we'd see a day where we were wearing masks to go to the gas station. Heck some of these crazy doctors want you to wear a mask while having sex...........................................Wait.....................This might be of benefit.
I’m cynical about a lot of it & for me this works. Personally, I’d be suspicious of any product like this that comes out of the PRC; would you trust it?
But as far as Indonesia goes Jokowi isn’t interested in big issues & geopolitics, he just wants results for his people, I’m not sure about other nations. Similarly for UAE, I’m thinking that it’s more your strasse, I wouldn’t have any idea on what’s happening there.
But back to the main game, Stage 3 as a layman (Medicos hop in) are where products’ are tested in clinical trials & if successful the glorious central nation has saved the world from certain annihilation, All Hail!

Would I trust a product developed by the PRC? Yeah, that's a hard no from me.
The UAE perspective on the trials:

How this has played out here is...been a little insane as Dubai and Abu Dhabi took very different approaches. It's nothing more than the two ruler's take on how to manage the response. Dubai and AD are in a friendly but cut throat competition with each other on just about everything, so the CV-19 response wasn't a surprise.
My co-workers and I fully expect that if the vaccine is deemed successful we'll receive a text directing us to go take said vaccine...along with everyone in AD.
Oh, the national sterilization program that ran for a few months:

Yes, they were spraying the sidewalks. Also, cars. And streets.
They’ve certainly in gone hard. We’re nowhere close with a vaccine here, though there’s a Melbourne Cup field of contenders.Would I trust a product developed by the PRC? Yeah, that's a hard no from me.
The UAE perspective on the trials:
Coronavirus: 15,000 register as volunteers for Covid-19 vaccine trial in UAE
UAE: 15,000 volunteers from 107 nationalities vaccinated with COVID-19 shot

No one here is really taking that seriously. Remember all those movies, those bank heist movies, where the bank robbers were holed up and the cops were outside? And their demands were stuff like a 737 to South America, $10 million, and all that? But everyone knew that it was never going to happen?
Everyone here is seeing that list, rolling their eyes. No one cares.
North Carolina doesn’t have unions. Teachers are not unionized in N.C.
By that I mean public employee unions^

Oh, but you do. There's just a prohibition on collective bargaining by Public Employees.
North Carolina Association of Educators | Welcome to the NCAE
I legitimately didn’t know that. I thought that was a professional association. Like the AANA or even something like the SFA. I thought to be a union you had to have collective bargaining. Learn something new everyday.
