Masks

Why wouldn't they be adopted? They're going into effect before the new mayor takes office.

I would be very surprised if there's not a delay due to a court filing.

In NOLA last weekend. No masks required, but you do need to show your vax card or negative test result to go into a bar or restaurant. Even though we had both, it's a total pain.

Did they accept one from a phone pic?  Cause I used that in NYC and it was like a five second thing.

Yep, but Glow had gotten a new phone and his albums did not switch over. We found it, but it took a while. We weren't aware of the rules before we got there.

So the pain in the ass was of your own doing then.

Did they force you to show an age document to get into the bar? Now that's some real authoritarian garbage

Rule #8 of hospitality: Never inconvenience a retired mom.

[JWags85]

Was it a pain because of how it was done?  Or just cause you had to do it?

We had vax QR codes scanned in Europe entering any restaurant.  It was efficient and smooth. 

However, we showed physical vax cards at a train station.  The attendant was clearly not versed in it and didn't know where to look and it was clumsy and sometimes took minutes per person.

Yep. And I hear they actually make parents put toddlers in car seats designed for toddlers ... and parents even have to buckle them in. So intrusive! Freedom now!!!

😂, imagine complaining about waiting to get into restaurant in an effort to help keep yourself, staff, and other patrons safe in the middle of deadly pandemic because you don't how to use iCloud, AND not bothering to educate yourself on local rules and ordinances.

Imagine the world not revolving around themselves.

I had a friend who didn't bring her vax card to the Goodman, despite my forwarding each and every email they sent about their protocols🤷‍♀️
Took us close to half an hour ( we were an hour early as we usually get a drink) to be able to verify her vax status so she could get in, but we of course were doing that off to the side.

Did you need to have proof of a booster shot as well, or was it just the first 2 shots (or 1 for  J &J). On a side note, listening to NPR today and they talked about people are not "fully vaccinated", so stop using that term.

The photo I had of my Vax card was before my booster was added to it, and they let me in, so I assume it's not required.

[Warriors4ever]

Not yet. Will be at some point, some other countries have already gotten to that point.

Such as?  I know nowhere other than Israel.  Maybe one of the Balkan nations if I recall.

[Warriors4ever]

France, for one, is changing their Covid pass requirements. As of December 15, over 65's need the booster, and over 18's need it as of January 15.

So nowhere else notable has "gotten to that point" just that a fairly strict country with some outdoor masking mandates will require it in over a month. Got it.

I don't foresee compulsory boosters in the US in the very near future, FWIW. At least for gen pop

[Warriors4ever]

That's one that I remembered offhandedly.
I don't think they're alone.
Austria is putting a 270 day limit on the two-dose vaccines, after that a booster is required to be fully vaccinated. The J&J single dose is only valid until January .
I believe I have read of other countries starting to at least look at adopting similar regulations, but I' not keeping a running list.

Depending on your definition of "very near future", I disagree completely.  I mean, everyone will be free to not vax, or boost, but their social options will start getting more limited.

Damn lot of hatred on warriorchick for saying nothing more then it was a pain. wow boys, wow.
