Neos employees

I'm not worried at all. Josh will issue an empty press release with a selfie of him looking off into space. :rolleyes:
TC has been tasked with finding the people that are posting the not-so-niceties about him on this site. Apparently our crack IT staff has been unable to find the evil-doers, so now our sales VP has been given the MIT (Most Importantest Thingy) and will be extra nice to you until you turn in your teammate. Because THAT what's going to drive business
 




Iceberg-right ahead!!!

"Two-thirds of Americans living in counties with high vaccination rates are now also considered at high risk for COVID-19, according to a Washington Post analysis.

The Post classified the highest top quarter of counties as high vaccination, with at least 54 percent of the population fully vaccinated. The lowest quartile of counties were categorized as low vaccination, with fewer than 40 percent of the population fully inoculated. The Post considered hot spots as classified by the CDC, which identifies areas with high and rising caseloads as such.

On July 4, only 4 percent of residents in highly vaccinated communities lived in hot spots, compared to 13 percent of people in low-vaccination areas, reports the Post.

As of Aug. 11, the nation's seven-day average of daily new cases was 113,357, per the CDC. This is a 24.3 percent increase from the week before and a 875.6 percent jump from the lowest case average in June.

Even amid surges driven by the delta variant, it's still safer to live in a hot spot while vaccinated now than it was to live in a hot spot unvaccinated last summer, according to the Post. States with the highest vaccination rates have a third the number of new cases per capita compared to low-vaccination states. Virus hospitalization rates in states with less than 40 percent of residents fully vaccinated are four times higher than states with at least 54 percent vaccinated, the Post found

Ware County (GA) shutting down for 2 weeks. Pickens SD (SC) going entirely virtual until further notice. Both due to alarming spikes in COVID Delta variant among students in 1st week of school
 




Two days into the school year, 440 students in Palm Beach County schools have been told to quarantine after contact with somebody with COVID-19. As of this morning, there are 51 confirmed cases in the school system.

TC will handle this. He is Florida Man
 




Hillsborough County Public School Board will hold an emergency meeting Wednesday after 5,599 students and 316 staff have entered quarantine for COVID. The Tampa-area district, seventh largest in the U.S., has only been in school four days

Chop Chop TC. Florida is burning and it's our largest market
 




I'm hearing things like this from a lot of districts in my territory, and now offices are starting to get a little more restrictive again. I discussed it with my RSM but since he's new, is hesitant to bring up our concerns to leadership. He was told it's not a big deal, kids are in school and since it's so early in the school year, it'll pass and any lost scripts will be made up. Not sure I agree with that and we're getting the full story. Anybody else?
 








Won’t be long until schools are virtual again. These data are prior to most schools re-opening. It’s going to get sh*tty for us again.

The U.S. reported nearly 204,000 new COVID-19 cases among children last week, up from about 38,000 weekly cases reported in the week ending July 22, according to new data from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association.

The organizations are collecting and reporting all publicly available state data on pediatric COVID-19 cases.

Six things to know:

1. After decreasing earlier this summer, pediatric COVID-19 cases have increased fivefold in the last month.

2. In the week ending Aug. 26, children represented 22.4 percent of all weekly reported cases in the U.S. Overall, pediatric infections account for 14.8 percent of all COVID-19 cases reported during the pandemic.

3. The latest seven-day tally of pediatric cases marks the second week case levels have mirrored those seen during last winter's surge.

4. As of Aug. 26, nearly 4.8 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 during the pandemic, marking a 9 percent increase over the last two weeks.

5. Among 24 states reporting age-specific hospitalization data, children accounted for just 1.6 percent to 3.6 percent of the states' total hospitalizations.

6. Among 45 states reporting mortality data by age, children accounted for 0.24 percent or less of all COVID-19 deaths.
 




Who is handling COVID for AYTU?
Greg P the Commercial Lead is your best resource. He'll be able to help you with all the local vaccine mandates and masking decisions and determine pending/imminent rep Stay-at-home timing based on variant surges by state and territory. If those aren't your questions, he can direct you to the appropriate person but everything flows through him. Good luck
 




1000 schools have already closed down due to COVID in the three weeks since school started. Kids make up 20% of new cases. COVID-19 death rising in 48 states. Delta is rampant and now Mu is emerging because of anti-vax, anti-mask.

Our top rep leaves. Mandatory 40 hours return to the office but no vaccine mandate. No budgets. IC is opportunities cut by at least 50%.

Please Josh, Tell me again, with a straight face, why I want to stay?
 




Serious question here: we have over 100 employees and do sell our products through Medicare/Medicaid. I’m assuming all employees will now need to get the COVID vaccine?

I’m already vaccinated but do think it’s a good thing for our business overall. More access to offices, ability to have in person meetings without concerns, etc.
 




Consider this a pre-submitted question to GeorgeK for the next town hall:

With everyone leaving, you think MAYBE they'd give us equity get us to think about staying? Can't make $$ on quarterly bonus anymore so why not?

Top reps are bailing, RSMs are out, and Josh says he won't give us equity because the stock is too volatile? But the only volatility is down. We're under $3.

Why would anyone stay? Why would anyone join?

I thought there was someone in Grand Prairie running it? Maybe that changed with the new head of HR.

I just read something from folks in ed leadership: surge in COVID19 cases + educational staff shortages will likely force return to virtual learning this winter in many areas. Hope it will be brief, but we need to brace for that and the impact on our ADHD business again
