I listened to the press conference, and it might just be semantics at this point, but the new mask rule as of Friday is that no-one is required to wear a mask indoors, vaccinated or un-vaccinated. They are still recommending unvaccinated people where mask, but it will not be a legal requirements.

That's the "honor system' part. The unvaccinated are supposed to wear a mask. They're not supposed to chose to not wear a mask because they don't feel like it. They must. But, there's no legal enforcement. So, they're their own cop in that regard. It's the honor system. They can lie, and then go maskless.

If a business is checking for proof of vaccines (which they legally can in NJ), they can enforce the unvaccinated to wear a mask while the vaccinated go maskless. So, a private business can take the decision out of their hands and be the enforcer. It's just that the state isn't doing that. For now.

I still think a rule, even though it can't be verified, is better then no rule at all.

In case anyone was interested in some other local data...this link goes to a bunch of charts that the Texas Medical Center in Houston has been tracking since the beginning.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates - Texas Medical Center

Thanks to your hard work, dedication, and sacrifices, we were able to collect and analyze critical data to track the virus’s impact on the greater Houston community. Your unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe and healthy has truly made a difference in the fight against COVID-19...

The daily new cases is a very encouraging chart. As numbers really declined, they stopped posting this every day...so it's now just a weekly thing (even more encouraging). Kids go in for their second shot next week.

Just curious what people think of this?



Seems to be a very small number.

I suspect all vaccines prompt adverse reactions in some percentage of the populace. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some truth to this tiny, unlucky group. I'm more surprised, frankly, that the media didn't suppress this information. They're still pretty quiet about the CDC's 99.998% survival rate for kids 0-17. Or that at least 1/3 of the people who get it have symptoms so sleight they don't even notice, particularly kids.

Myocarditis is uncommon, but not exactly rare. We see it mostly in the spring and summer, since the main viral culprit that provokes it, Coxsackie virus, usually circulates at this time.of year.

Unless they were seeing a rise in cases far above the usual baseline, this doesn't sound like it will be related to the vaccines.

Vaccine tourism is making a comeback. For the price of an airline ticket, tourists from Peru and Mexico for example once again are coming to the USA to get vaccinated since a number of sites have challenges attracting our own residents to get vaccinated.

Perfectly inline with the media's MO, focus on the negative.
