Yes. But because we are all well aware of human behavior, I would have still preferred a target more like PA or OC, FL. Dropped for everyone, at a reasonable but high target. This honestly just drops everything all at once. It’s well intentioned but ill timed to go to this extreme.
Florida Gov has already banned Vaccine Passports so how do you know when the population reaches a certain % vaccinated? Especially in areas like Orlando that have a high percentage of tourists.
Whether or not it’s specifically tied to an individual and verified at the turnstiles (it won’t be), the data of how many residents have been vaccinated as a raw number exists.
I was only demonstrating that there is a difference between a person deciding to use mitigation and a government agent forcing mitigation under penalty of fines or imprisonment. You agree there's a difference, right?
As of today, 168 people in Palm Beach County (population 1,497,000) are in the hospital with Covid-19 as the primary diagnosis.
But you do, as long as they work in government. At least that's the impression I get. And look, I try to be optimistic about our elected (and unelected) officials, but they let me down time and again. All over the country, they closed businesses that did not need to be closed.
History demonstrates that when governments amass power, bad things tend to happen. As imperfect as individuals and business owners may be, I would rather those folks have the ability to make these decisions in most cases. With that said, I'm all for government-issued guidance, and certain restrictions during emergencies.
Our work caf went to credit card only, insert into machine, touch nothing else with the cashier on the other side of plexiglass a while back and only does packaged stuff. I don't go in every day, but I definitely buy at least a nice warm egg and something sandwich on those days for breakfast and and a large coffee to help them stay afloat. All fixtures in work bathrooms got the touchless upgrades. We ate in a restaurant with a very spread out situation in a large space for the first time in over a year this past weekend vs. takeout. The urinal has one of those spring back spikey knobs you turn to activate the water. I seriously stared at it like I was seeing an alien...WTH is that? No way. I was surprised at how surprised I was.
WowI am going everywhere without a mask now...but will make my two unvaccinated kids (both less than 10) wear masks and taunt them about it....
not really...
What's wrong? I wouldn't be a stellar parent otherwise...
Operation Warp Speed will turn out to be one of America's greatest achievements.
Thread needs an alpaca…Did you buy any futures?
I wish they'd get the food service back. I haven't been eating the greatest, cause the lack of options has me burnt out. Considering I usually have to eat something every 2 hours to keep on weight, munching on whatever doesn't need heated or kept cold throughout the day just sucks.
There are rules for reasons. The free market and voting with their pocketbooks to decide things is not how a society works, or at least a large part of how this society in fact doesn't work. For some things, yes, for some things no.
Maybe trying to catch up to what's already happening and staying relevant.
We weren’t testing nearly enough a year ago, I’m sure cases were higher, but you already made my biggest point, hospitalizations and deaths are at historic lows since the start of the pandemic, there will be an increase in cases, there always is when restrictions are lifted but the system should be able to absorb it, that’s the bet the CDC just made.
