It was some real tough shit that ski resorts were some of the earliest hit, because skiing itself is super safe in a pandemic--it's the lodges that are the problem, and that was easily solved by either closing them, or, as you report, requiring vaccination once we have them.Strat wrote:Vail Resorts is requiring proof of vaccination for guests to dine indoors on mountain restaurants but you do not need a proof of vaccination to just use the same bathrooms.
That makes sense
and they are not requiring masks/proof of anything and will be loading the Gondolas/chairlifts as they were pre pandemic.
This all makes sense
Also, wasn't some jet setting R bigwig one of the earliest cases to bring Covid from Alpine ski resorts to the east coast? We should continue to inconvenience rich skiiers for their involvement.Green Habit wrote:It was some real tough shit that ski resorts were some of the earliest hit, because skiing itself is super safe in a pandemic--it's the lodges that are the problem, and that was easily solved by either closing them, or, as you report, requiring vaccination once we have them.Strat wrote:Vail Resorts is requiring proof of vaccination for guests to dine indoors on mountain restaurants but you do not need a proof of vaccination to just use the same bathrooms.

Wat, no. Can we selectively enforce stupid restrictions where the well to do live?

At this point the remaining question is if the release was intentional (as in a test at the 2019 Military World Games in... wait for it... Wuhan, China).Wuhan and US scientists were planning to release enhanced airborne coronavirus particles into Chinese bat populations to inoculate them against diseases that could jump to humans, leaked grant proposals dating from 2018 show.
New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles and aerosols containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.
They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.
Oh.The bid was submitted by British zoologist Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, the US-based organisation, which has worked closely with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researching bat coronaviruses.
Team members included Dr Shi Zhengli, the WIV researcher dubbed “bat woman”, pictured below, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the United States Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Centre.
Darpa refused to fund the work, saying: “It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk”, and warned that the team had not properly considered the dangers of enhancing the virus (gain of function research) or releasing a vaccine by air.
