I will say this, I’m glad I’m not the father of a 12 year-old girl. My decision was easy.

Mine will be too, she’s getting the vaccine as soon as she is allowed to.

It’s not a virtue if you wish to not spread or catch Covid from a Trump supporting conspiracy theorist

Yep. It’s only a hard decision for conspiracy theorists who make up worse case scenarios out of whole cloth.

Uh oh.

“So even though there are breakthrough infections with vaccinated people almost always the people are asymptomatic and the level of virus is so low it makes it extremely unlikely — not impossible — but very, very low likelihood that they’re going to transmit it,” Fauci said.

Fauci defends CDC's roundabout on mask mandates amid confusion from new guidance

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, defended a decision this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to lift its mask mandate for people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Extremely unlikely” (WEP practically zero) that vaccinated can transmit.

Interesting.

So I don’t need to wear a face diaper to “save the world” Tony?

Another bit of alchemy ruined?

I have no experience with those, but this morning was delayed and annoyed by a person so bad they got thrown out of an HEB.

No experience with them?!

They’re here. And running the government until science evolved Thursday.

Who the what now?

If the private property owner has rules, they are to be respected, no? Since the CDC change last week most places I’ve been to still require masks. Maybe just because that sign is hard to peel off the window, but its their place to decide or me not to enter.

I expect that early this week the lawyers will have gotten their billable hours in and policy changes written. In the meantime, I’ve seen some childish freak-outs about it these last few days.

Sure. Here the signs were changed a while ago to “Mask Recommended”.

So, I just went to the outlet mall. Full procedures: masks required, fitting rooms closed, limited number of people in the store. Sigh

Imagine that. Extremely and two verys.

Yeah. My state is supposed to be off restrictions. It feels performative in the stores, while bars are 100% open.

Multiple reasons.

Well, I guess i’d have to know them before answering.

Not much you can do about that.

The good news is you don’t have to worry about giving it to the unvaccinated by not wearing a mask.

Went to Walmart today sans mask and it was exhilarating.

I was a good citizen and followed the rules.

Kudos to Walmart…Trader Joe… Costco…leading the way.

There were still about 30 percent of customers wearing the face diapers. The rest of us wore huge grins.

Went in to a Publix today and while the mask sign is up they aren’t enforcing it.

Most were maskless and even a hand full of employees maskless.

WuWei:

Why does that matter? Are you qualified to judge her basis?

I can’t say if I respect their decision without knowing what it is based on.

For example, if they are not getting the vax because they think it’s made from alien blood, I can’t respect that.

If they have allergies that make a bad reaction possible, I would.

If they read research that concerns them, i would.

If they read on facebook it gives you green hair, I wouldn’t.
