The vaccine essentially takes hospitalization and death off the table even if you are one of the unlucky 5-28% who could be infected after full vaccination. If I told you to buy a lottery ticket for tonight's drawing since you would have a 72-95% chance of winning the jackpot, everyone would run to the corner gas station with dollars in hand. So, what's the big deal? Those who are still skeptical or fearful can remain that way and don't have to change. But, let the rest of us carry on as we did pre-March 2020. Follow the science because its real, hey?
So get the vaccine. Anti-vaxxers are just gumming the works.
Rocky, by Memorial Day every American 16 and over who want 2 doses can have 2 doses but let's not quarrel over 30 days. And 'stressing the system' over the summer is probably a good thing. Slightly off topic, I was heartened to hear a Summerfest official when announcing the Fall line-up answer 'Absolutely Not!' when asked a question about any possible Covid cancellation during the presser.
We may find out in the 2022 elections, eh?
The summer is going to be fine so things should largely go back to normal. The test is going to be the fall when things go back indoors. That will tell us where we actually are. Because of that colleges and universities are still planning for testing and isolation protocols.
Ya But I more meant: is the "line" mask regulation? Seatbelts? Drug use? Taxes?Etc
IDK, but I do think the line is long before 'no dancing at weddings'. Stuff like that become an immediate disqualifier. I think most Americans are very reasonable people and have pretty broad tolerance but can smell horse crap from a great distance.
Sure, but my point is if they won't, don't hold up the rest of us from living. Aka, fook 'em, hey?
Things move indoors for the summer in the deep South. That's why their cases really climbed at the end of June last year. The South is behind on vaccinations so far so we should have an early test.

Can you explain this? What type of infections? The only thing I can think of is skin irritation that gets infected?Before and after covid I wear masks for hours every day. Never had any infections from wearing them.
Millions of people dead around the world and this very minor inconvenience is insanity?How about people on your team discouraging people from getting vaccinated OR wearing a mask. THAT is insanity!The purpose of the actions in Canada is to save lives. The purpose of your side is to kill.
So since you have never had an infection from wearing a mask it never happens. OK.
Nah. I think the fear of making a premature mistake that will cause cases and deaths to spike is the biggest driver. I don't understand what political power is gained by preventing people doing what they used to do. Every governor knows that the political backlash from keeping restrictions in place too long is going to end their career.
I generally agree.And, as usual, the most extremes are likely to be the loudest, thus implying the extremes are the majority when actually a small minority
I never said that. I gave my anecdotal experience, just as you did.Would you mind explaining the infections though?
This. We have people here in Florida that they are screaming they are oppressed because everything is locked down. Yet nothing is locked down. Until recently, you had to wear a mask in public buildings. Oh the horror. Bars are open, restaurants are open, stadiums have been allowed to be at full capacity for over 6 months. Sports venues other than the WWE chose to be smarter.And let’s talk about extremes. It’s illegal for a business to ask for proof of vaccination here. Yet it is also now legal to run over a protester. Thankfully, the making it illegal to ask for proof of vaccination will seem to eliminate the god awful cruise industry from Florida, so there is an upside.
Basic, common yeast infection.So bad hygiene on my part, I guess.
Had dinner at The Moorings (a senior community)in Naples last night with a friend. We had to show our vaccination proof to get into the dining room. Are you saying they were breaking the law?And your “legal to run over a protester” is an absolute joke.You’re right about Florida being open though. Better for our school children and their mental health, better for our economy and better than most of the hbig states vs Covid. I gather that some people think that’s a bad thing. Politics.
yes it is...as wags said, and may i add, people who are leery of the vaccine's efficacy will rationalize their way out of getting the vaccine. seeing potus out and about in obviously safe places will reinforce the vaccine is ok even though i don't believe he even knows when he's wearing it or not. hell, he had a panic attack at the podium when he couldn't find the damn thing(mask). it was right in his pocket or folded up in his papers or something. good thing dr j was there to calm him down with a big hug and some hot cocoa
What is it like to live in this fantasy world?
