Kolek planning to go pro
New mask mandate for St. Louis City and County. Kansas City likely to announce theirs shortly, ages 5 and up. Springfield, MO has 544 hospitalizations and 222 ICU patients. They are trying to convert a hotel to medical space. 2,865 new state cases today.
No doubt in my mind that the CDC will be kicking off the next round of mask mandates with this guidance.https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/07/27/world/covid-delta-variant-vaccine
I’m sure that will go over swimmingly. Is it right to infer that there’s not really a change to the science, but rather vaccinated people should wear masks so it will be easier for stores, bars, etc. to enforce a mask mandate?
What a terribly disheartening day. We're shifting the burden back onto the 70% of adults who have been, or are in the process of becoming fully vaccinated. And we're increasing it on kids, which really irritates me. All while going back to the vaccine undercutting rhetoric from March.
The unvaccinated have had their chances. The rest of us shouldn't be punished to protect them when they won't protect themselves.
<sigh>Anti-mask Huntington Beach restaurant says it will only serve unvaccinated dinershttps://www.ocregister.com/2021/07/26/anti-mask-huntington-beach-restaurant-says-it-will-only-serve-unvaccinated-diners/While the emergence of the Delta variant of COVID-19 has many businesses and consumers proceeding with caution, Basilico’s Pasta E Vino in Huntington Beach continues with its campaign of noncompliance with state safety recommendations. It recently posted a sign saying it will be asking diners for “proof” of being unvaccinated.It’s the latest in a series of defiant actions from the restaurant, which started with an anti-masking campaign in May 2020. The restaurant asked customers to remove masks when they were inside.A message from ownership posted Saturday, June 27, 2020 on social media explained, “So to be clear, if you enter the restaurant for dine in, and want to wear a mask, you must remove it when sitting down. If you are standing around inside and waiting for a table, or waiting inside to pick up food for yourself or as a third party delivery driver, and you are wearing a mask, you will be asked to wait outside.”
Darwinism at its finest, except their stupidity affects everyone not just their selfish selves.
Predictable. Oh, wait, I did. I blame the Biden administration for not pushing mandates and passports as soon as they took office. The only way this was going to be stopped was to get to herd immunity, and the science said that was a minimum 70% vaccination rate. There were too many death cult disinformation believers to get there without mandates. The Biden administration was naive to believe that 70+% would do the right thing. So, back to masks.
73.3% of adults in the US have received at least one dose.
Would love a source on this one.
CDC's latest says that 56.4% of Americans have received at least one shot. 48.8% are fully vaccinated. This includes children.
