Meanwhile, idiots.
TUMWATER, Thurston County — Late last week, disturbing rumors started to fly on social media.
The state Board of Health, they claimed, was about to authorize local health officials and police to round up people for refusing to get coronavirus vaccines and forcibly lock them up in quarantine facilities.
It wasn’t true. There was no such plan.
But the falsehood spread with omicron-like rapidity, fueled by misinformation from anti-vaccine activists, some conservative radio hosts and at least three Republican congressional candidates.
By the time the health board convened on Wednesday, the usually obscure panel had been deluged with more than 30,000 emails, hundreds of calls and requests from some 8,000 people to testify at its virtual public meeting. Some of the messages included threats to board members and staff.
In addition to the phone calls and messages, a couple hundred protesters showed up Wednesday morning outside the Department of Health offices in Tumwater, just south of the state Capitol in Olympia.
They raged at the nonexistent quarantine plot. Some demonstrators waved signs comparing vaccine mandates to laws passed in Nazi Germany, and accusing Gov. Jay Inslee of tyranny and treason. Signs claimed state officials were setting up internment camps, with one referring to Joint Base Lewis-McChord as “America’s Auschwitz.
Sounds like a whole lot of hearsay from both sides. The author, if this is the entire article, is pretty light on sources and proof.

So on Wednesday I am at the Husky basketball game as I mentioned, and about 3/4 through the game the guy next to me (who was with his wife) ultimately pulls his mask down below his chin and just leaves it there the rest of the game.
Yesterday same guy brings a buddy to the game and his mask comes off the instant they get to their seats.
Oh and the student band members were all wearing masks with holes cut out so they could play their flutes and trumpets.
my oldest woke up with body aches this morning, and tested positive with a home kit. he’s been with his mom since Friday. that makes two of my guys now. wife and I are getting tested again this morning.

Theater. It’s theater.

Either you have it or you don't. You're either gonna die or you're not.
My wife has kids who are at their dads but supposed to come back to us. Are you suggesting they come over without knowing if she still has it and then go to school?

It's a little different if you already have it. I'm talking more about these people who are testing themselves every day to see if they have it yet. Edit: It wasn't in reply to your comment.

If you were talking about people who weren't sick or exposed, then you sure did a great job painting this picture...
