This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

Was on a ferry, outside deck, at 25knts. Crew made us wear masks.

It actually helped Keep my face warm. So not horrible!

I have precisely zero issue with it. There are just some things that you have to do living in a society with others. Taking a simple step to avoid the transmission of a deadly illness is one of those things. If you don't want to do that, there are going to be restrictions on what you can and cannot do to ensure the wellbeing of everyone.
 
NYC require vaccine
LA require masks
FLA - ban any requirement

How long is it going to take to play out?
Proof will be in the numbers

I'm going to the dodgers game tonight. Dodger fans are ...?

I guess im an asshole but I like it.....I remember in 1997 when I decided I wanted to go to college....walked in and they asked me for my proof that I got my MMR vaccine...I had never heard of it and didnt have any evidence that I got it...They told me to get it, or no school for me. Meantime, the covid vaccine isnt required to work at my wifes hospital.

To me...cigarette smoking rules apply....any space you cant smoke, you need the vaccine.

my response when my wife sent me this article, "its about damn time"

you wont hear any arguments from me, the ones who wont get it are the same ones complaining about the spikes and restrictions that are being put in place.
 
I guess the issue is what about people that for health or religious reasons can't get it? Discrimination?

Usually there are carve outs for these. We'll have to see how it actually gets implemented. I have my opinions about one of those "exemptions", but I'll avoid going down that usually-inflammatory rabbit hole here 😀
 
No diff than poliio or mumps?

The people that can,should. Then the restrictions can be lifted.
When was the last time you were asked for a Polio or Mumps card?

I'm not anti-vax, just playing DA. My wife is a school nurse and she's seen plenty of "religious" exemptions even well before Covid.

At school enrollment... therefore, pretty much everyone has to get them, therefore, the population is covered, which covers those that actually can't, along with the silly religious excuses.

We just finished our immunization record for college.

It is expected. No doubt we are working towards that end with this vax.

The antivax argument is the lack of long term study. Which is why it is an emergency use auth as I understand.

I get Tim's point, that is why the requirement probably has an expiration date, or a review date.

Compares two cities to a state. 🙄

There are still mask vaccine/mandates in FL at a local/business level. Mask mandates vs none during the last wave didn't make much difference.

Isn't that because local officials are ignoring the Governor's executive order? Isn't this the source of the lawsuit with the one cruise company? Seems fair to say that FL's approach has been to ban any requirement.
