This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

Haven’t you people heard? Coronavirus is over. At least here in NY. But only if you got vaccinated. All’s well that ends well.
:thumbsup:

I'll play double devils advocate. If a private business refuses to serve someone because of race, gender identification, or other personal characteristic, isn't that discrimination? Why is choosing to not wear a mask different? ( by the way, I'll wear a mask if the people in the store are...)

Not if you only make straight bicycles, those gay bicycles are hard to sell.

Hat to remove my joke about the seat but anyway discrimination is allowed if your god says so.
 
Got this email today....was momentarily excited, but then I realized i live in NJ and were the only state not following cdc guidelines

if you are fully vaccinated (e.g., you received the final dose at least two weeks ago) AND you work in xxxxxx facility where the state government is currently following the CDC’s guidance:

  • You are not required to wear a mask
  • You are not required to practice social distancing
  • You are not required to undergo temperature checks

I went into the office in NYC for the first time since 3/11/2020. Luckily, I found a parking spot at the train station
EBA388D5-0E62-4C0F-B9BF-E8D17FA8A766_1_201_a.jpeg

Took BoxCar bus, which is a private line. 50% max capacity. It was probably 40% full. The office building still requires face masks in the lobby and elevators, but once on our floor, my firm is going with the new guidelines of if you're fully vaxed, no masks at all. The trading floor was probably 60% capacity. Several lunch places I used to go to are boarded up. One of the mega-delis that usually has 6 registers going at once with a line of 5-10 people was completely empty. The sidewalks were empty in midtown.

We went to dinner at Grand Banks, and then to a bar after however, and it was business as usual. Uber arrived within 4 minutes, and the ride home took 32 minutes. I'm back in 2 days next week, then 3 days a week going forward.

% of people driving into the city is way higher now than it was pre-Covid. So it makes sense all the parking decks are crowded.

Personal Data Point: I notice nearly nobody wearing masks on the trails now. Morristown almost nobody on the streets have a mask on.

OH, and Zufall is doing a J&J day in Dover. No need to be a current patient of Zufall. Probably an easy in/out for the J&J.

So my daughters dance recital is tomorrow at the Thunder stadium, where you need to wear masks in the concourse area. Apparently last week the younger kids had a recital and a few parents refused to oblige to this rule and make a "stink" and were removed from the recital by security. lol
 
There is now this weird stigma of not wearing a mask and being vaccinated but people still think you are a douche because you aren't wearing a mask... when will that wear off?

Maybe start wearing the vaccine card around your neck or something?
