Yeah. Being kind and assuming they're joking, it's definitely in poor taste and uncalled for.

If more masks are advised to protect against variants, why is this uncalled for?   Sure, I disagree with it, but that's besides the point.

You are something else. Completely heartless man

It's common sense that more than 1 protects more right?   Maybe there should be a 4 mask mandate!

Yes.

Like I said, I didn't call anyone silly, and I don't appreciate you claiming that I did when it's not true.

Alot of people in here like to claim others said stuff...it's a thing 

Hopefully the people in Michigan are wearing 3-4+ masks to stop this spread

I thought it was bill gates that was going to microchip us

Absolute inhumane.   I thought this was fake when I first saw it. It does say "Others Sent To Safety Elsewhere", but still..

Maybe you could go to large gatherings if you got one of these

I'm not sure what your point is. What's mandated and not has always been up to the states since the beginning of the pandemic. 

Since there was a question about what the CDC says (and they've always been just guidelines), I thought I'd post a link directly to the source. But it is interesting to me that some folks in this thread claim to be relying on what the CDC says, and then in the same breath cry about doing their own thing when they disagree with the CDC's guidelines.

I was just answering @MJO812 question about gatherings.  Cdc says ok, assuming he's talking about personal family or friend gatherings.

You brought up the football, which i was just pointing out is state controlled (capacity of stadiums).

This is what the CDC said:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html

It says only gather around folks who have also been fully vaccinated or are not at high risk.

It specifically says *DON'T* attend medium / large gathering (such as Football games), and *DON'T* be around high-risk people indoors without a mask

 

Looks like that part is mostly up to the states (see TX).  Most other fall sports look to return to full capacity this fall.

I don't really care as long as I can go to gatherings and do other stuff.

Didn't the cdc say you can gather normally after vaccination?

There was a recent story out of Washington state that mentioned that some fully vaccinated people were hospitalized with covid.  It was a very small number though... I think 8 people or something.

Small numbers, but there are hospitalizations after vaccination

Way to go coach, outdoor setting, distanced, no need for masks

Problem is, they wear the same masks for weeks at  a time. Take the masks away,  cases drop. Becoming pretty clear that the personal bacteria  farms are detrimental 

Yep, nasty bacteria from a used mask.

Except for rare circumstances, anyone can choose to get vaccinated.  Comparing this to something like the ugly history of segregation which has been based on innate qualities most commonly race is a pretty terrible false equivalency. 

There was also no rational basis to segregate people based on things like race or gender in the past.  There is a very clearly rational basis to give vaccinated individuals different treatment compared to unvaccinated people given the current circumstances. 

If a business suffers because of giving preferential treatment to those vaccinated then the free market will sort things out,  isn't that what most conservatives preach?

 

Also in terms of moving the country forward,  we do so by crushing the pandemic, the best way to do that is by everyone that is able getting vaccinated. 

I did not compare this to the history of segregation.  Everything is not about race.   If you don't like the term Segregation, let's replace it with something else.

Yes, let's get the most vulnerable vaccinated and move on.

Comparing this to segregation is extremist. Period.

You're aware that the term Segregation can refer to more than just race right?  

Segregation, separation of groups of people with differing characteristics, often taken to connote a condition of inequality.

I'm surprised that you're so in favor of this sort of government overreach. Sure the state government can stay out of requiring vaccine passports but why push their agenda on private businesses?

Creating a segregated society is not how we move this country forward. 

As Gov Desantis said " “requiring vaccine passports for taking part in everyday life such as attending a sporting event, patronizing a restaurant or going to a movie theater would create two classes of citizens based on vaccination.”"

Glad to see more states joining in

In the sense world travel will still be tricky, but I think it should be stressed nationally things will return much more to normal with vaccinations.

Unless it's travel from Mexico, the border is a mess right now.

One could also argue that remote learning has removed a lot of the stress of constantly having to get good grades, which has been beneficial to the mental health of many. 

Social aspect agreed.  Mental health seems to be an issue stemming from the lack of social interactions.

Spring is definitely well ahead of schedule -- I'd say by two weeks or so. Grass is growing and trees budding... even some small leaves starting to appear. Great Spring so far. 

Seems like we're finally getting a nice spring.  We either get cold and snowy, or warm and wet.  This spring has been mostly warm and allowed for green up well ahead of schedule.  Still have parts of the property that are decently wet, but should be cutting at least some grass within the next week I would think (pending any additional rain).

Im asking you to prove that there is a link to covid, this thread topic. I dont care if it gives you acne or any other thing. I care only about spreading covid. You had no proof.

There is no link, never said there was.  

The relevant topic (see above) is  playing sports with masks vs what the WHO recommends. 

Just now, Stebo said:

Yeah slink back into your hole, your tangential nonsense isn't going to play.

You know, there are alot of people in this thread that I disagree with.  The difference between them and you is they provide data , and links to help educate others.  You just spew dribble at everyone you don't agree with.
