When spread is low I agree, back to normal. Right now my kids can go to school every day and be relatively safe because everyone wears masks in the classroom. A few weeks ago my youngest son’s teacher tested positive for Covid. None of the kids in the classroom got sick after. Would that have been true if everyone wasn’t masked? The science says no. My point is that while community spread is still high it makes no sense to drop masks in school.
I'm kinda right there with you.
I plan on wearing one in public next winter and will continue to wipe down my grocery cart. Less colds warm face is win and grocery carts are gross
They live in places where they're either not subject to those restrictions or everyone ignores them. And they don't travel so they're not dealing with airline rules or Disney rules or anything else.
Yeah, I can’t disagree. I’m desperately trying to not feel that way. I’d rather we all just get the vaccine and get out of this together, but that’s seeming more and more naive. Vaccine passports could work but it just continues the toxic environment we‘ve lived in for a while now. It would be nice if people could see the benefit to society and the economy and just get vaccinated. I am not giving up yet on the carrot approach, but you guys are wearing me down and if vaccines slow too much I will end up switching over to the passport side. Not ready to break out the stick yet, but it’s getting close. My vaccine percent target plan is probably a last ditch effort to get people to do the right thing without threatening them.
Who says? In NJ no one said that. It's a hopeful guess.
I believe whole heartedly in the vaccines and he science and know that if we get enough people vaccinated we get to return to normal, but I get that others don’t think that way. That’s why we need a firm target of vaccinated percentage like Orange County just implemented. We get to say 70% of eligible people vaccinated and we drop all restrictions.
Unfortunately, some people buy into crazy stuff and I don't know how to convince them they have entered the twilight zone. Like my friend who I relayed the story about the other day. He's a relatively intelligent and normally pretty reasonable person. Somehow, he was convinced that the mRNA vaccines modify your DNA and no matter what I say, I can't convince him that they don't. What's worse is he and his wife were scheduled to get J&J before the pause. Now that he's had more time to think because of the pause, he's concerned that they aren't telling the truth about that one either so he's holding off for now.

We don’t mind the government so much here.
You'll never get them all. Would a firm target help for the real fence sitters? I believe it would. I also believe it would be worth just coming out and saying, get vaccinated and YOU are no longer restricted in anyway. Now, I know there is a fear that would lead to chaos and anarchy. I just don't see it that way. I think, like anything there is a cost benefit analysis that needs to be done. And IMO the benefit would outweigh the costs. Those anarchist types, nothing is changing their minds. But for the others. I think it would be just the push we need.
No need for that. These vaccines are essentially a miracle. I just wish they were being treated as such.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Pass.They should just call it Happy Fun Pass.
I was vaccinated in Alabama, so DC Baker needs to manually add one to his daily post
