The Biden team knows it will burn out with minimal damage. What they are doing is demanding masks, so when it does abate, they can claim credit. Everything is political. No science justifies these mandates.Data doesn’t support doing this. Yes cases are way up, but hospitalizations are less than 50% of what they were at the same case number and deaths are a fraction, around 20x lower. Look at the UK numbers if you want to know how this will play out. Delta seems to burn fast and bright with fewer significantly ill. It’s moving to an endemic phase.
Putting on masks now will just ensure the next variant will cause another stupid panic. It’s time to realize Covid ain’t going anywhere. It’s doing exactly what a virus does, mutates to be come more virulent and less deadly. Those who have been vaccinated, not had Covid, and not at risk need to get out there, maskless, and have a good time. You need to be exposed to it to build your t-cell response and having the antibody response should prevent you from getting more than a mild cold. After you have the T cell response you are locked and loaded.
Going back to masks and lockdown are going to just prolong this. We are at a good time with how fast this burns out to use it to reach endemic phase. The government is not following the science here.
lastly, I’m not gonna tell you to vax or not, that’s your choice. Weigh the risks with your PCP and make an informed decision. Live your life.

Sorry to hear this for you. I am not in the same opinion though. I don't think we are being told the whole story on this thing. Hard to tell what is what but when you have info being hidden and suppressed you know there is more to the story. And the mandatory Vacc thing isn't the path because there will be a lot of liberties taken which will give those in power thinking they can do it for something else. Very dangerous and scary to think they are so open to this so quickly.I'm in the same boat, wife had a double lung transplant last year and we are both pretty much bubble-wrapped. But I'm pissed that people will not get vaccinated for selfish, ignorant reasons and are so uptight about wearing a mask until we conquer this virus. We had our chance to get herd immunity but the numbskulls that refuse to get vaccinated are affecting all of us and are the reason we may be shutting down again this fall. I know this is a minority opinion on this board, but screw it. Let's all pull together to beat this thing!
Watch the news. I gave you the sources, it shouldn't be that hard for you to look up. It was on the news just yesterday. I am only repeating what Dr. Fauci , Biden, CDC, WHO , have said since covid-19 has been here. Biden yesterday told you that those that are vaccinated can still spread covid-19. We were also told masks do not stop you from getting covid-19, they are to keep you from spreading covid-19. Now they are telling everyone to wear a mask, so if the vaccine works why do those that are vaccinated have to wear a mask?Prove it.
They’re not rising uniformly across the US. It’s in pockets and generally in states where the population fears the vaccination.So they rose some, are we gonna keep doing this forever when it rises?
Washington DC for example, positive case rate is 8 per 100,000 people, they just mandated mask for anyone over 2. Does that make any sense?
We got an activist over here. LMAO.You’re trying to have a conversation with someone who last year was crying about covid in the RGV but sits on their hands as tens of thousands of unvaccinated illegals pour over our borders and are then shipped all over the country.
he doesn’t care.
I’m not into government mandates. But the high rate of vaccine phobias keep the mandate (vaccine or mask) discussion on the table. Louisiana is not even at 40%. Vaccinations are crazy low.If that scares people, let them take precautions. Don’t tell me I have to.
Bingo. This is the correct answer. This virus will never be eradicated but will become similar to the flu overtimeIf you think vaccine reluctance is purely a right vs. left issue, you aren't paying attention or are being misinformed. There are people on both sides of the aisle who aren't getting the shot.
Also: this is never going away even with 100% vaccination. It's a virus; they mutate, becoming more contagious but less deadly over time.
Note: my second dose was in early March; I have other risk factors (as does my wife) so we got it early.
Don't open them. Please don't comment. Thanks,Can we please add Covid/masking to the political board? These threads are a beat down of division
It’s amazing that people don’t believe an administration and news media steered by a political ideology that handles china’s role in covid with kid gloves while telling people they’re white supremacist domestic terrorists if they question the bullshit they’re being fed.We are given a smart medical option living in the USA. And we politicize it to our detriment.
We had a summer spike last year. We will have a winter spike as well. This year was just about a month later than last year. This will dip back down just as it did in India and Europe in 4-5 weeks. Then in November, we will see another increase.Down from peak but cases, hospitalizations, etc all rising. And it’s the summer. Winter is coming.

Or communities within these states that are vax resistant. Doesn’t matter anymore since those with the vax are also carriers and transmitters of the new variant. The benefit for the vax is only protection of that individual.They’re not rising uniformly across the US. It’s in pockets and generally in states where the population fears the vaccination.
One sentence. You got it all in!It’s amazing that people don’t believe an administration and news media steered by a political ideology that handles china’s role in covid with kid gloves while telling people they’re white supremacist domestic terrorists if they question the bullshit they’re being fed.
No mention of the stance that right wing news outlets take on the vaccine. Or Trump’s refusal to support taking the vaccine, instead deciding to use the vaccination rates as political capital against Biden.We had a summer spike last year. We will have a winter spike as well. This year was just about a month later than last year. This will dip back down just as it did in India and Europe in 4-5 weeks.

This right here. When you had the current admin overtly campaigning aginst the vaccine for 4 months through November then pivot as soon as they get in, with the media spending that whole time regurgitating those politically motivated statements you get a lot of confused and mistrusting people on both sides of the isle.
You had the current VP saying she wouldn't take a vaccine made under Trump's watch. You had media telling us it wasn't safe since it wasn't tested, Trump rushed it, to do a 180 once they are in power. What are people supposed to believe?
There are legitimate reasons for vaccine hesitancy outside politics. Starts with the misinformation and doublespeak from the media. I don't know how many times I have heard the rebuttal to it being a completely new type of vaccine that hasn't been tested as "we've studied mRNA for decades". Yeah, and we knew about fire for tens of thousands of years before we built an internal combustion engine. They didn't have a delivery protein patent until 2017 and a viable one until 2018. This is a new technology, it's understandable to be hesitant IF you are willing to take the risk of getting COVID after talking to your PCP.
There are other issues though, due to mistrust of the government and media. I think that's probably the #1 reason for the hesitancy, nobody knows what to believe because they can't trust anyone. This reason is completely bi-partisan, extends across multiple political, cultural, and racial groups. People's eyes have been opened in that they know they can't trust media, so how can they trust this vaccine when nobody is explaining the science behind it to them, nobody is being transparent about risk, and they are now being told again, that nothing will change if you get it?
As is their choice. I’m just telling you why they don’t trust the people telling them what to do.One sentence. You got it all in!
Meanwhile, as you drivel, people who have decided not to vaccinate are dying.
But, hey, political stances, man.
What does hadn’t of mean?Even if Abbott hadn’t of signed an order prohibiting it, good luck enforcing that on the public in Texas. It isn’t March 2020 anymore.
How many vaccinated people are dying bc of Covid? It’s not zero, but it’s close.So if everyone was vaccinated we wouldn't need mask. Except for the people that are still getting covid after being vaccinated. The vaccine does not prevent covid neither due the masks.
No mention of the stance that right wing news outlets take on the vaccine. Or Trump’s refusal to support taking the vaccine, instead deciding to use the vaccination rates as political capital against Biden.
Hmmm…alright.
They’re mostly on the right, but you already know that.If you think vaccine reluctance is purely a right vs. left issue, you aren't paying attention or are being misinformed. There are people on both sides of the aisle who aren't getting the shot.

This is the damn truth, on both sides of the aisle. Both sides only care about power(I'm sure there are a few exceptions among them), and will use covid to advance their power.Hopefully people will open their eyes and realize that all of these politicians are assholes and don’t really have your well-being at the forefront of their logic or idealogy.
They’re mostly on the right, but you already know that.
I'm sure that's what your favored media outlets have told you, and yes there are disparities among republicans and democrats....but there are large disparities among races and age groups.They’re mostly on the right, but you already know that.
Thanks for the anecdotal evidence that means jackGo talk to all those die-hard republicans in the NFL and NBA that are fully vaccinated.
Yes that's their choice not yours or the government.One sentence. You got it all in!
Meanwhile, as you drivel, people who have decided not to vaccinate are dying.
But, hey, political stances, man.
Exactly, which is why those of us vaccinated have nothing to worry about and should stop bitching about the other guys. They are not a threat to anybody but themselves. Vaxed people can carry and transmit also, so that argument is played out.How many vaccinated people are dying bc of Covid? It’s not zero, but it’s close.
