Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
GA is at about 33% vaccinated. I can confirm that about 1% of people are wearing masks in my Trump-voting district.
And I'm part of that 1% despite being vaccinated :)

Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
Up until a couple weeks ago, everyone was masked up here, pretty much 100%, just north of Buffalo. Then they relaxed the requirement for those who are vaccinated. No one is asking for proof though, so I’m sure a few anti-vaxxers are just doing their thing now. Biden won 56.5% to 41.8% for Trump in 2020 in my county, though I think my immediate neighborhood leans slightly Republican. I’d say about a third of people are still in the habit of wearing masks. It will be interesting to see what happens if we get a vaccine-resistant strain in the future. I'll have no problem with going back to a mask, and probably would today if I went to a larger grocery store and was planning to be there a while.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
Just got back from running some errands and you're right, it's kind of weird out there right now. Only one store had a sign indicating no mask required if vaccinated, but when I went in, about half the people, staff included, were wearing masks, so I put mine on. Vaccination rate here in California is 46.8% as of today, so who knows if they are or aren't, the "honor system" doesn't give me the warm fuzzies.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑15 Jun 2021, 3:55pmJust got back from a trip to the gas station/store down the street.

I have been going back and forth to Maine from CT for work. It's over here in New England and I am grateful.

I will be hard pressed to ever leave New England. It's expensive here for a reason.

Of course those not getting vaccinated generally think themselves smarter than those who do. I hate seeming snobbish, but these fuckers are impinging on the well-being of those around them.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
I'm in 100% agreement with you Doc. If everybody would just listen to science & get vaccinated, we could probably put an end to this, not unlike measles or mumps.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jun 2021, 9:23pmhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/ ... -1.6063373

I think we should just give all of the anti vaxxers polio or smallpox.
