Minimum wage is being discussed in USA. This is an interesting picture of countries in Europe with low or no minimum wage as of February 2022.
The statutory minimum wage in Germany has stood at 9.82 euros per hour since 1 January 2022. Arithmetically, this corresponds to a minimum wage level of 1,621 euros per month (in gross terms) for a full-time job.
There was significant peer pressure to get the corona virus shots due to perception that the shots would reduce viral load and thus help stop re-transmission to other people. The Centers for Disease Control has debunked the myth that shots reduce the viral load. CDC says people with the shots have similar viral loads to those without the shots.
This might mean that the viral load of vaccinated and unvaccinated persons infected with SARS-CoV-2 is also similar.
One scary part of the study results is that 74% of the covid cases were in people who had received the shots. Since this study shows the shots don't reduce viral load (which maybe could have reduced the spread to other people), and if shots don't protect from infection, it may be prudent until long-term safety studies are finished.
