This will get all the way to the Supreme Court if those type of mandates are put into place. I agree other than maybe flying and cruising, there's no way a mandate will be passed to do every day things....and again this is from someone who is fully vaccinated
I think you are giving way too much credit to the added protection. We are dealing with nearly 100% the Delta variant and no study has even attempted to determine how effective masks are against the Delta variant. You will still be in crowded indoor queues with areas of poor ventilation.
Fair, I do think it was clear it was about vaccinated people being able to spread it, they did say rare, but remember CDC is not tracking mild cases in vaccinated people, on hospitalized cases. I think they are seeing it is not rare but no good proof yet. Anecdotally I know of many mild symptomatic cases from vaccinated in the past few weeks. Those are not being tracked at all.
I think there is too much weight given to the Delta variant if masks are really effective. The hotspots, like Florida are currently at the levels they were in cases last year at this time. Remember last year, masks were much more mandated and in use, Disney was barely open, very low capacity, masks required indoors and outdoors. We are at the same levels as before now with everything being 100% wide open now, (that will change tomorrow in Disney.) If Delta was so much more worse we should way above case numbers for last year. The vaccines are helping by pretty much in keeping people from dying and severe illness, which is great, that would happen regardless of whatever mask rule is in place.
On the contrary, we’re seeing levels that we haven’t seen in months despite 60% being virtually immune. That’s not a good look. The vaccines are absolutely helping in preventing actual cases for a majority of those people.
vloggers are probably exempt from mask requirements. They have magical pixie vax dna lol
That is not how the vaccine works, it doesn't prevent infection in the truest sense. It prevents you from getting a mild or severe case once infected/exposed. It triggers an immune system response when infected. We are finding out that some people vaccinated have high a high load of the virus and in some cases asymptomatic. This is changing quickly.
With 60% of people in Florida vaccinated, the numbers are roughly the same. Also when you get to 15% or so positive tests, that indicates uncontrolled spread and undercounts. Your post has no actual opinion on masking so I'm trying to even understand what the point is other than to confuse the issue.
Exactly. Mostly safety theater and perception
That is not true. People are cancelling this morning. Not sure how many but some are. Whether it’s because of masks or because of new spread the announcement has made people rethink their fall trips
