A good demonstration of why only 1 in 5 frequent NFL attendees opposes vaccination requirements. It's exactly because people are well past done hiding at home. They're going out and living their best.

There's an insistence among Republicans that everyone else is hysterical about COVID. But the rest of the country has been opening up around them as they sit and complain to their phones or computers. The real delusion is spending hours of your life insisting to the internet that COVID broke other people's brains while surrounded by concerts, families out on walks, and kids on their way to school.

i dunno, i kinda enjoy not spending the extra $150-180 per month for parking and gas. the only real tradeoff is days i work from home i start at 7am. days i work in the office i start 630ish

Okay?

The shorthand "zoom class" is to point out that the people driving pandemic response have effectively no skin in the game.

Not saying there's anything inherently wrong with work from home, but this demographic basically drives all Democratic Party policies and they seem quite content with Covid restrictions forever.

you mean

so why point out that zoomers are running the policies of dems while not demonizing anti-maskers/covids or whatever you want to call them arent pushing the republicans policies (desantis comes to mind)

personally erring on the side of caution seems to be the way to go. if people who wear masks are wrong great, all you got to make fun of them for is wearing masks. anti-maskers are wrong you have death or very long term health issues

Or if an anti masker is wrong they end up with antibodies and the sniffles for a few days. Who are we to argue if someone wants to take that chance? I've seen a lot of more suspect stuff actually glorified on this board that is more dangerous. Drug use, for example. Let people do what they want.

because that decision doesn't just affect the individual

who knows how many people you've passed the virus to the past few days

Masks don't work and vaccine doesn't limit spread.

i know you say this 500 times a day, but it won't make it true.

You don't think vaccinated people are catching and spreading covid?

Yes, people are out, but that has consequences was my point. I don't understand what your point is other than the constant redteambad stuff.

not nearly at the rate unvaccinated or unmasked people are

so if two masked people are in a room, and sitting/standing at least 6ft apart, the masks won't help?

again for the people in the back row


masks help to tame the spread. no its not 100% going to stop the spread but it helps stop the spread more than not wearing a mask. also the vaccine doesnt prevent the infection or spread but it does boost your chances of not being hospitalized

Probably not. The science is settled.

People have never taken to wearing a mask and never will. Most people gave up on them around the time you bought in, oddly enough.

Gotcha, the republicans are right but too stubborn to realize it. Makes sense.

Christ, I'm gone for about 5 days and this thread has 22 pages added to it. What has more exponential growth, Delta or this thread?

Anyway, Team Nate once again. Only quibble I might have is that I'm more bearish on masks, but he is 100% correct that they are (pun intended) sucking up way too much of the oxygen in the discourse. I'm probably slightly more bullish on booster shots, but the main vaccine mandate needs to be at least one jab.

That's a very reasonable approach, though I am in favor of yearly boosters for those who want them (like, OMG, the flu) and are at least 6 months from their original "fully vaxxed" date.

Only thing missing is large scale federal funding for therapeutic treatments.
