So they’d have some kind of vaccine badge?

If you want. I’m just going to let my lack of mask wearing be my evidence.

Then surely you know that everyone in the country cannot be fully vaccinated in two weeks.

Well then as we wait for everyone to get a vaccine you don’t get to go inside anywhere.

And of course there would be people to make sure that everyone in the country had a chance to get vaccinated. Almost like a census.

If people do not get vaccinated they are still free to observe the safety measures. Nobody will make them stop. But those who wish to get the shot and get on with their lives should not be held back.

Just like the left wants with firearms. Registry and papers.

You’re a good listener!

The surely you know that people are free to continue wearing masks as long as they like. Right? Nobody will be forced to remove their masks and put themselves in danger. And tens of millions won’t get the vaccine anyway.

You obviously don’t like my idea. What would yours be?

I vote we totally ditch the new normal and go directly back to the old normal. Instantly. Make people 100 percent responsible for their own health. Get the vaccine if they choose, or take their chances. Open everything 100 percent to pre Covid levels. When we approach the release date, governments need to get ahead of this and lay out the plan. Personally, I like my plan. How about you?

I was just discussing this with someone today. The question was, “will we ever get back to normal?”

I said, “Of course we will. This may be the first pandemic in our lifetime but it isn’t the first pandemic in history. People always return to normal.”

I’m not for the shutdowns to begin with.

However, I do like the premise of your OP. Stop focusing on the negative and start planning the recovery.

I gave you my idea (built on yours) in my reply to you above.

I have a feeling that governments will not present a plan at all. Just wing it. Basically chaos. I hope I’m wrong.

[Samm]

Is that a response?

Right. Make the vaccine available, allow a reasonable time for people to get vaccinated and open up. Once I get the shot, I’m protected. End the lock down.

It took 5-6 years for enough of Americans to be vaccinated for polio to allow for herd immunity.

Actually, Samm’s beef is just with the timeline. Not the overall implementation.

And it seems to me that bickering over the timeline isn’t worth the time to bicker over. (Don’t forget, you have the government involved in the implementation. I needn’t say more!)

@Samm

But your concept is good. Once everyone has the opportunity to be fully vaccinated going back to business as usual would we wise.

I’m thinking that we are a little better now than we were 50 or 60 years ago. You?

Does it take six years to get a flu shot?

The key word is opportunity. We can’t force people to get it. Because some people decide to risk it is no reason to lock down everyone.

How long will you be protected? That’s still a question mark.

We can’t keep the economy shut down. People are going to have to get back out and get on with life and living.
