Here's the category that gets me all copy and pasted from the CDC table, "Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events" How can those be " Conditions Contributing to Deaths where COVID-19 was listed on the death certificate " rather than just the cause of death.

Probably sniffing Lysol, licking hand sanitizer and drinking bleach to prevent Covid.

Your chart is showing employment though. I guess my takeaway is that those well paying jobs were of folks that we're laid off temporarily and are back to work at home or in the office. The low paying employment numbers are still lagging. The question is whether those jobs are available and people just aren't taking them, or if they're not available. Judging by the number of help wanted signs I see, I'd say that people do not want to take them right now. Personally, I wouldn't want any part of food service or cashier right now. Being in contact with that many people and the number that just ignore mitigation efforts in the name of freedom puts you at too much risk to justify the wages they're offering.

My son in college is making a killing as a waiter right now, but 70% of his school is online. They can't get enough people so he takes extra tables. Know someone in management at a national tanning salon; they can't get people to come back to work because states are paying unemployment with the federal bonus even though their job is available

I have as much contact as any food service person, was considered essential so I never stopped working. I just signed up to work as a poll worker as I hear the older folks who normally do it aren't signing up this year. The low paid workers at HyVee and Super Saver have had to work, I think the rest can.

I'm guessing getting the vaccine to 330 millions people is going to take a while. Probably months. Iowa alone would be about 35,000 vaccinations per day for 3 months to get everybody. Are there enough doctors/nurses to administer that? Keeping in mind that most doctors are already overworked without dealing with those vaccinations.

If you vote you get an immunization or a sticker...

Are pole workers still working? Would think the social distancing would be a detriment to them.

They already have a strict hands off policy. I'm sure they are figuring out just how small the mask can be while still covering the important areas.

Lap dances probably aren't the same though with them being six foot apart.

Follow the money! Lots of money to be made with a vaccine.

The election is Nov. 3. I certainly don't think it's a coincidence they are pushing for a vaccine before then.
