It’s not really as to the bold.
I’m continually amazed by what people did not learn from high school civics.
Some Karens who tried arguing vehemently the policy of no mask no service cost some their job. A Florida real estate agent was fired when he was acting like a Karen when he was videotaped by a fellow shopper when confronted by staff because he did not and refused to wear a mask. Throwing a tantrum at work can have security escort you out of the building in some workplaces.
Hopefully by next month or October things will be much better as improve as the cases will reach low.
As large as our population is in the US, I'm consistently surprised at how many polls and surveys promoted for all sorts of things are done based on a number of 1000- 2000 people, also without a breakdown of where those people are from for context.Looks like the public likes the new masking guidance:
The survey of 1,552 U.S. adults, which was conducted from July 30 to Aug. 2, found that a full 55 percent favor making it “mandatory to wear masks in public”; 45 percent are opposed. Just two and a half weeks ago, those numbers were nearly reversed. In late June, the public opposed mask mandates by a 60 to 40 percent margin.
Poll: Most Americans now favor mask mandates to slow Delta's rapid spread
As the Delta variant of the coronavirus fuels more cases across the U.S., and as scientists discover that vaccinated people can experience breakthrough infections more than expected, a majority of Americans once again favors mask mandates, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll.www.yahoo.com
I agree, looking at the info at the end of the article, the polling details are this:
If this is a real plateau and not the result of data reporting anomalies or severe lack of testing, it would indicate that there are a lot more naturally infected/protected people in Florida than thought. It would indicate the spike peaking much more quickly relative to India and the UK.
Looking at the Los Angeles County data, it doesn't seem that indoor mask mandates "crush" the spread like many believe they do. Their mask mandate was reinstated late on July 17th. I highlighted the 18th on the chart. Spread doesn't exactly seem to be decreasing there as a result.Looks like the public likes the new masking guidance:

Noo! I hope this is not going to very bad one next couple months aka fall/winter. Even the mask mandate is not gonna work to end the pandemic soon. Whatever it takes, this wave will get even BIGGER than my thought. No one can stop this one. NO ONE!
Where was he shopping?
That’s because there is no source on it. We had one slightl rise in reported figs yesterday (always going to happen) and even then if you look at specimen date they are basically flat - even if as I suspect they’ll gently rise again they’re not going to get to 100,000 any time soon
The initial Pfizer-BioNTech trials are past one year. If I hadn't had that weird power outage that pulled systems offline making me return 3 weeks later, I'd already be at 1 year post 1st shot in the Phase 2/3 portion. My call to do the booster portion was near a year after signing up. So we're well past 1 year with this.I think there could be some who change their mind based on full approval. We are also approaching 1 year from the initial trial so how much longer do people need to see the vaccines are safe? People are still saying “wait and see” but we are quickly approaching a time when that’s not a valid answer anymore. On the bright side even if nobody extra gets the vaccine at least we won‘t have to hear the anti-vaxx crowd call it an experimental vaccine anymore
All kidding aside the FDA has nothing to gain by not giving full approval and a lot to lose. If they wait until January in an attempt to appear thorough or cautious people will continue to use the EUA as an excuse not to get it. If some incredibly unlikely event occurs that shows the vaccines are actually unsafe between now and January nobody will give the FDA credit for being extra cautious with their full approve. 192M of us will be furious they told us it was safe. So there is really no upside to waiting. The data is in, it has been analyzed so make the call.
The insurance thing is possible. It would take a little time to setup. A lot of corporate plans have their open enrollment period in the fourth quarter so that’s fast approaching.
The real reason, and I think we all know it but will fight tooth and nail saying it’s other things.
Don’t get me started on that one
Seeing that the vaccine outcome has devolved from preventing infection to mitigating fatal outcome. Covid is here forever.
