When I drove to the city a couple days ago I was nearby the old Sears building, its been turned into a Covid-19 center by Novant Health...Its a huge building too, they are using it for mass resting and mass vaccinations during the winter months is what I heard...

...
I heard maybe on C2C that all sports stadiums will be used as detention centers.

This week my attitude towards this pandemic situation has not been the best, I've been uptight and frustrated lately, more so when I go out to places...I wish we didn't have to deal with this crap anymore, I'm so ready for this pandemic to be behind us and sick of wearing masks too, ugh...Sorry, just needed to vent that off, was getting gasoline this morning and had to go to 3 different stores before I could do anything, why?...The first store I stopped at Sheets, parked at the pump, was about to get out of my car and this truck pulls up and four guys get out, none wearing masks...Started my car and drove off, not going in there, so I drove to the Shell station down the road, parked at the pump, got into the store and this guy holding up the line buying freaking lottery tickets, no mask on and he started coughing...It was a smokers cough but still...Jumped back in my car and went to the BP station down the road, no one in the store I paid for my gas, started pumping gas and then freaking loud commercials started blasting from the gasoline pump, god I wasn't in the mood for that crap...Make it stop!...lol

My wife has tentatively got our names on the list for Covid vaccine shots. We are scheduled for the first week in March at the local Rite Aid pharmacy. That is about all we know at the moment and I am sure all this could change.

From some of the news headlines I am reading, they are estimating the Covid virus will drag on for another seven years. I am not sure how they came to this conclusion but Bloomberg is tied to this story it seems.

I've read estimates from British 'experts' stating this pandemic may stretch out to 2024 before we get a handle on it...They're estimating that timeframe because of how it's mutating with these new variants and assuming more of the same for the time being with new variants spawning that are more resistant to our vaccines...

I just talked to an old friend I grew up with. He told me he has been out of work since the Covid restrictions first hit back in April.

When we were in school he made all the right career decisions. He took technical classes and learned to be an electrician. He eventually got a post grad degree and became an IT analyst, pulling in big bucks. This is the first time he has ever been unemployed for an extended period. He has always worked some sort of job since he got a paper route at age 12.

I worry a lot about the rapid way our society and our economy are changing.

I recently saw an interview with Elon Musk where he stated that the US will need to institute a basic minimum income for every citizen because, sooner than we realize, maybe in less than 5 years, jobs will rapidly disappear. We already have the technology, for instance, for self driving vehicles. It's just a question of when all the glitches and legal issues will be worked out.

The new high tech jobs that replace the old ones will not be enough to take care of the displaced workers. We will begin to see a huge net loss in job creation, mainly due to technological advancements.

Maybe your friend can ask Elon Mush for a job.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk among US billionaires getting richer during coronavirus pandemic

The recession ushered in by the novel coronavirus has not meant economic catastrophe for everyone, however. In fact, in the months since the virus reached the United States, many of the nation’s wealthiest citizens have actually profited handsomely.

I get the feeling it is going to be a cruel world in the future as far as employment goes for many people. Some old traditional fields are fading away and won’t be back. My neighbor across the street from me is a newspaper reporter. She works between 3 and 4 days a week. She is actually a bit lucky. She covers the state capitol news scene. Other reporters for the newspaper are long gone.

People are going to have to choose wisely as far as a career is concerned. A degree in English or Art just won’t cut it anymore. I thank the stars my nieces and nephews are in fields where they have a job and those jobs are plentiful.

I look back to the times where I had long periods of unemployment. I had a degree in Electronics and it didn’t mean a thing. There were no jobs where I lived. I had to move across the state in order to find work in my field. The days where you could get a job in a factory and work there your entire adult life are over. We all need a new mindset going forward.

Without this Covid vaccination proof certificate some stores and other businesses will refuse you entry.

'Tap and display' vaccine proofs to be rolled out on Aussie smartphones (msn.com)
According to what I read on Benjamin Fulford's website COVID stand for Certificate of Vaccination Identification.

Post 2656: Deadly Wuhan Coronavirus

Revelation 13 KJV
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

This seems to suggest that the vaccine is widely available in Australia. Is that the case?

The vaccine is set to be rolled out here at the end of February . Its is not available just yet though the Government have acquired over 60 million doses for a population of 20 million.

That sounds like overkill.

That was mentioned here as well no Covid jab and no Covid certificate no job. So where ever you go from when you have the Covid jab you have to carry Covid ID certificate with you on your mobile phone to show to prospective employers or just to go shopping or have your hair cut. Its insidious. In other words you refuse the jab your a social leper with no Covid certificate..
