Did Biden say we'll need to get the 97-98% vaccination rates before things get back to normal? I remember when it was 60-70% of the population would need immunity. I remember when Fauci said they wouldn't require vaccines. I remember when it was 2 weeks to flatten the curve so we don't overwhelm hospitals and now NY is going to fire 16% of their healthcare workers and replace them with National Guardsmen, who, if medically trained, will just be shifting them from one facility to another. Understand that getting back to normal is not the goal.

This. Never. Ends.

My HS freshman football coach always threatened with extra sprints if we didn't give "110%" at all times.  Maybe Biden is working up to this.

Yes, I know. My wife tells me the same thing. I'm working on it.

I used to do the same thing. Read about COVID all fucking day in my cell of an apartment in NYC, get pissed, get anxious. "When will it end?!"

Then I got vaxxed, stopped reading, stopped giving a shit. Went on with my life. Massive improvement of my overall mood.

I’ll go 80-85%

Yeah, an important rule is to never listen to CC when it comes to anything involving math or percentages. Too much for his pea-sized brain to comprehend. Was in the local Kroger doing grocery shopping yesterday and I'd say it was 20-25% wearing them. In part due to them being mandated for employees, but a noticeable number (although nowhere near the majority) of customers had them on. Tended to lean towards the elderly being the wearers.

I swear I see more young people than old people wearing masks whenever I'm out.

Do masks help prevent those?

CC talking mental disorders, that's fucking rich. 

I'm currently in Playa Del Carmen. People with masks on outside is fairly common. It's also crowded on the main streets and vaxx issuing is rather slow here, so I get it.

You'd all be appalled and full of faux outrage for sure.

Mike DeWine is a career public sponger just like the rest.  

He may well be, but at least he has done his part to:

champion lower taxes and reduce them

push the bureau of workers compensation to refund billions of dollars to Ohio employers

embrace the oil/gas industry and fracking which has helped create energy independence and vastly lower home heating costs

....among many solid iniatives. 

Far better to have him than the cuomo-type et.al. spongers

I dunno I remember one of the first things he did was raise the gas tax and make EV pay fees 

This doesn’t look like MAGA…

Also, sorry Automatik, but wearing a mask outside is still stupid. 

I noticed COVID talk about vaccines went away pretty quickly when the winds of change blew in that BLM was going to ratchet up their machine about it.

No, no it didn't. Vaccine talk is still pretty big virtually everywhere I look.

Is anyone covering the protests though? I honestly don’t know, but I don’t watch the news. But I only saw it on “right wing” outlets. I’d be glad to be wrong. 

My girlfriend's son and his wife are waiting on results of their Covid tests which they got late last night. Meanwhile, her boss (she works for a major insurance company) tells her to just take some Benadryl and come into work. Dumbass....

It’s crazy when most people can work at home for companies to make these demands. 

Please God make it stop

Would serve him right if she had it, came into work on his demands, and gave it to him and he took it home to his family because of his dumbassery.

Just read where some companies are requiring your vaccine status to be on your resume. SMFH

This is getting really stupid, really fast.

Shit happens when the country is being directed by clueless dolts.

I think everyone probably saw this coming:

“You can certainly get both the flu and Covid-19 at the same time, which could be catastrophic to your immune system,” said Burrowes, a family medicine physician and assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Central Florida.

“I’m definitely more concerned this year than I was a year ago,” he told CNN.
