Masks

[JWags85]

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.

I mean, 2 dose vaccines have been widely available for almost a year.  And I still find it more uncommon than common to present proof of vaccination for admittance (stuff in NYC and international travel are all that Ive done since I was vaxxed 7 months ago).  So I think that would come first before boosters.  If you're talking boosters being mandatory for restaurants and sporting events before, say, end of Q1 2022, id be very surprised.

I guess I'm talking metropolitan areas, and if you're mostly based in WI (? I don't know), then anything is fair game, that's basically Idaho in my book.

Missouri AG asks parents to turn in school districts enforcing their own  mask or quarantine policies.

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

I just made the point that someone whining about waiting in line about showing a vax card, and it turns out that it is 100% THEIR fault because 1.) They blamed a new cell phone their husband had, and didn’t back up their photos properly 2.) Didn’t bother read up on local ordinances

I would call it being personally responsible, but hey you and Zig seemed to think it’s hatred.  🙄

Parrott the official line or the mope squad will decend on you with keyboard fury.

riiiiiiiiiight Zigs, right.  Not that she was making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Well I asked how it was a pain because that wasn’t my experience in NYC. Only to find that it was because they didn’t know the rules before they left and weren’t prepared. So the pain wasn’t because of the rules, but because of their lack of preparation.

The Clear app allows you to upload your vaccine information for free and gives you a readable QR code.
You do not have to be a paying Clear member to use it.

[Warriors4ever]

I was able to transfer my Walgreens record to my Apple Wallet. It shows a QR code, but I don’t know where that QR code can be used, honestly. I mean, not that I’m traveling to Europe, but our QR codes aren’t compatible with the EU Covid passes. NYC has their own app, I think Hawaii does too.
It looks really neat though.

pretty soon we will be following the science, eyn'a?

We can only hope.

Some of us. The other 20% of you will be following Tucker.

Chicago, Denver, Dallas, DC.  All metro spots Ive been to in the last 6 months where I didn't see it with any regularity.

Do I think more proof of vaxx is coming/will be more common?  Yes.  Do I think that will be a 2+1 shot minimum anytime soon?  No.

I'm still waiting on that conclusive evidence that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are effective treatments you've been promising us for the last year.

Guess you should reconsider who you 'follow'.

I mean most of the west coast, NYC are already doing it without booster (restaurants).  Denver requires it for large indoor gatherings.  Once the CDC changes "fully vaccinated" to include boosters, it will happen in those places.   That covers at least 1/4 of all US population.  And I expect it will "spread".

[Warriors4ever]

Chicago doesn’t have a citywide vax mandate, though it’s under consideration. Most live Theaters and some bars/restaurants do. We did at my church’s Christmas concert last week.

The pandemic has turned 4ever into a Kennedy fan.

Imagine being THAT devoted to minimizing a pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans that you would start touting the work of noted antivaxxer Robert Kennedy, Jr.  Despite the fact that empirical evidence suggests that vaccinations are both incredibly safe and incredibly effective.

Not our proudest moments as Americans and Marquette alumni.

Just gargle some mouthwash.  Pandemic over

It can be found in the fiction section.

Is anyone following the same rules that Santa Cruz County put out and masking inside your own home when you have guests over?  How does this get reasonably enforced? Are neighbors calling the mask police on each other? Better not give Newsom any ideas.

http://www.santacruzhealth.org/HSAHome/HealthAlerts.aspx

Masks must be worn in private settings, including your home, when non-household members are present.

This feeds into the right wing paranoia of government overreach and suddenly doesn't make them look all that paranoid if your behavior inside your own house is being policed.

In an open casket wake what’s the fine if the deceased isn’t
masked?

He isn't breathing on anyone.  Plus, he probably just had it.
