I was laid off in June as a MHSB QMHP-A...I've been in social work and the mental health field for 20 years. I am worried to go back to work because I am immune compromised. If I get covid, I'm a goner. Is anyone else facing this dilemma? Should I just wait it out until I can get the vaccine? #laidoff #covid #immune compromised

Excellent Question @Susan Culley ! I can see how you would be additionally hesitant to go back into a health services work environment with your particular health concern. I don't work in the healthcare industry but I find the news I've been following so somewhat confusing. Sufficient PPE continues to be an ongoing issue, particularly within the most affected states, (California, Texas and Florida) according to national news. @Michael Carvalho wrote about this recently and shared optimistic improvements in much needed PPE supplies within Greater Boston healthcare organizations.

How are you feeling about the new vaccine? Are you feeling more optimistic? Curious to hear your thoughts around this news and how you think these vaccinations will impact the recent uptick in covid-19 cases.

Hope all is well @Susan Culley . Please continue to Stay Safe & Happy Holidays!

If you’re in the medical field, you qualify to get your first vaccine now.

I've been waiting for my unemployment since April 26 2020. Only to be ran around and let down. I have lost everything since. I been a cna for 10 years never had to file. Would like to apart of this covid fight but limited to funds. And resources. I just want what I've worked for. Nothing more. My unemployment would sure help me with getting back on my feet. #benefits #covid #eligibility #help # Oklahoma #healthcare

Hello. I think you should contact one of the IRS Private hotline as disputes about claims can be resolved from there. I also had a similar issue. But I’ve gotten it all resolved. Even if at the end of the day, you won’t be given anything, you would be told why.

If you get denied #unemployment benefits but believe you should be paid, you can file what's called an appeal, where you ask the state to reconsider their determination. Good luck and keep us posted!

Today, November 4th, LA county commissioners are discussing to give authority to business owners to refuse service to patrons who do not wear masks on their premises.

What do you think about this measure being considered? #covid #losangeles #coronaviruslosangeles

DISAGREE - California is in the hands of IDIOTS: You voted against the recall of the Dictator newsome, so suffer for your STUPID decisions. Granted he STOLE the election originally (I have the proof), but you had the chance to get rid of this jackass and either you failed or the Democrat party pulled off another theft of our rights.

Sometimes during COVID, I have to stop and marvel at how creative we are becoming as a nation to keep things “normal” and this doesn’t disclude entertainment.

Lately in Los Angeles, it seems the art of dance is alive and well!

Ballet Folklórico de Los Ángeles held its first ever drive-in performance in Fullerton this past September. Then in October, the contemporary company Clairobscur Dance used Zoom to develop new work which was performed for audiences in cars at L.A.'s Original Farmers Market.

Santa Monica’s Westside School of Ballet organized a drive-in dance film festival and Heidi Duckler Dance presented drive-up or walk-up performances throughout L.A. over 10 days.

Audience members are typically instructed to wear masks if they want to leave their windows open and if they prefer to be maskless, they could tune to a radio station frequency to hear the streamed performance score.

The dancers trained individually and outside as well as in masked sessions to learn the choreography. If someone chose to rehearse inside the L.A. Dance Project’s studios, the space was aired out for 24 hours to keep others safe.

So it seems that drive-in dance performances are the new normal for dance companies during the pandemic, but I personally believe that if you have an audience anywhere becomes your stage.

Would you attend a drive-up performance during COVID?

I was the first employee hired by Diversified 29+ years ago and am thankful for the job they provided me. I have learned a lot and increased my skills while employed there. Too bad that covid-19 came and caused them to decrease their workers and the cause for losing my job. The products we manufactured were oilfield related. #covid
