"People who get their coronavirus vaccine at Winn-Dixie will be able to save money on their groceries, as the company is offering coupons for the vaccinated.
Jacksonville-based Southeastern Grocers, which also owns Harveys Supermarket and Fresco y Más, said customers and employees will get $5 off SE Grocers products after their first dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and then another $10 off after the second dose. Those who get the one-shot Johnson & Johnson can get $10 off.
“In efforts to further safeguard communities during the ongoing pandemic and encourage vaccine administrations, Southeastern Grocers is now offering community incentives to individuals who receive COVID-19 vaccines in all Harveys Supermarket, Fresco y Más and Winn-Dixie in-store pharmacies,” the company said in a news release.
Elsewhere, customers who get vaccinated at CVS pharmacies will receive a 20% off shopping pass, according to spokeswoman Tara Burke. Adults who get the vaccine in CVS pharmacies that are in Target stores will receive a $5 coupon, Burke said."

Hopefully things like this will encourage people to get vaccinated before states start outlawing this like Michigan is trying to do.
Why are they doing that?

Wouldn’t this need to get past Whitmer’s desk? Judging by the headlines, I think she’d be in favor of getting out the shot by any ethical means. A CVS coupon is far from unethical (and the flu shot norm)
"at historic lows" and "low" aren't the same though. I thought we would aim for lower than 500 daily, 180,000 yearly. I really did think the target was closer to 150 daily, 55,000 yearly. We'll still get below where we are today. It's a question of how fast and where the floor lands.
Ramping back is fine. This feels more like "we're done". Perhaps a few steps to early. Like the track runner that stands up, waives to the crowd before crossing the finish line. Only to be crushed by the second place runner they thought they left far behind, but were wrong.
I don't get you.
Vaccinated people don't have to wear masks. That's all they said. What is wrong with that? This is what the end goal is.
They didn't say everyone go maskless, they said here is the benefit for you who chose to get vaccinated - no masks.

Finally waiting for a shot at Walgreens. Little bit of a glitch with getting checked in. Lady insisted is was 15 and up and I must not have put in DD12s actual birthday when I booked, she had to get with pharmacist to confirm 12yo are eligible. There's about 4 other parents all waiting with their kids now.

And the honor system for the unvaccinated. Because the honor system works so well.
They didn't mandate that companies had to stop requiring masks indoors and I'm sure many won't stop that requirement.
Okay, sorry guys, but some of you at this point really don't seem want to see forward progress.

My guess Universal Picks June 6th (one year to the day after they reopened) to go with the "honor system", then Disney about 2 weeks after that.

I want to see measured and thoughtful forward progress. I don't want the stupid people to cost us dearly YET AGAIN.

Yay for the other kids! We saw a handful this morning, too. Apparently my son went and told everyone at school (good on him!). At lunchtime he texted and asked where the clinic was because a few of his friends were getting picked up by their parents to join the fight.
Think we are going to start seeing a lot of these types of announcements.

That's actually why we chose to go to the northeast over California this year. A hour and half flight vs a five hour flight.
I really feel for the people going international. Especially since vaccinated or not, they need a negative covid test to fly back. I'd guess that it's a stressful vacation component, not something I want for a relaxing getaway. So, no international travel for a bit... unless it's a cruise and even then, I'll wait a bit.
Trying to make peace with this. My only conclusion is that those who don’t play ball will reap what they sow. And I’m here for it. I don’t want anyone to get hurt but I’m also not an idiot.

Right there with you. This was going to happen eventually, but I fear 40% remaining completely unprotected is a bit too much of a powder keg to sit on.
Maybe, just maybe, this will scare a few people off the couch and to a needle who were willing to just ride it out and let it end a slow and natural death. I hope so - enough of them, anyway.

So, should the CDC lie to us?
Lying isn't part of the scientific method.

Taking human behavior into account should be part of the decision-making process in regards to recommendations from the CDC. It's called the Centers for Disease Control for a reason.
