(#4704) What aid will there be when we go back into lockdown?

      Hopefully Build Back Better will become law next month with voting rights protections as well. But now looming over our society is the fact that Covid has come back due to too many here in the United States not getting vaccinated and causing our nation to go back into a lockdown. It hasn't happened yet, the lockdown for Delta and Omicron, but it is coming. The one third of our society that is opposed to science and logic have made sure that this pandemic continues to haunt and kill us but they don't seem to care about the all of us. Well being that as it is, the next form of help from the government will need to come shortly.
     If we can hold out until our federal lawmakers come back into session in early January then good for us but if not then the federal lawmakers need to forego their holiday season and get back to work to keep us whole during the coming lockdown. Like previous rescue packages, keeping us from losing everything will need to be the goal. Too many of us are dependent upon an open society to make our way in this existence that is weaved so thoroughly with capital and profit. So some form of economic rescue will be required until we can get those who are not vaccinated to finally have their inoculations.
     How we do that may well depend on who is eligible for government aid during a new lockdown. As is the case with animals of a lesser intelligence, the carrot and stick theory of motivating needs to be employed. Get a carrot if you get vaccinated or get the stick if you don't. Seems like a logical approach to a society that allows for choice in most areas of motion. I for one am sick and tired of how the unvaccinated keep our health care workers at the breaking point of depression through all their unnecessary Covid infections. It is time to get an economic rescue package in the works again and then make it contingent upon vaccinating.
