True, on one hand they tell us the vaccinated can still get and transmit COVID. But then say, you should feel safe going back to normal if you are vaccinated because only unvaccinated communities are at risk. You cannot have it both ways.
Correct
I only fear I shall never do anything again, because I do not have access to a Xerox machine.
Seriously.. I thought copies were not acceptable forms of ID anyway? Though I seriously also do not have access to a XEROX machine. I have a Copy Printer Fax machine, however..
We were going to blame the governor for COVID no matter who it was, D or R. Our favorite pastime here is arguing politics and blaming others for our shortcomings in life.
Well, the positive at a macro level about COVID is that the Fox News-watching morons will continue to refuse the vaccine and either die of COVID or of long-term organ failure. This will end up making the country more blue in the long run. Natural selection at work.
According to your own Democrat puppet experts, it is ONLY highly transmissable among UNVACCINATED COMMUNITIES. Therefore IF you are vaccinated, then why should you even care or want another shutdown if cases surge again??
Yes its true that the vaccinated should not have to care about other's personal decisions and shouldnt be subject to any restrictions.
Unfortunately though looks like restrictions is going to be inevitable in places where surges get so bad that hospitals are running out of ICU units again, as may be already starting to unravel in some southern and midwestern states with high vaccine hesitancy.

Social media has certainly hastened our lurch towards genocide in this country, but I still don't believe the result is going to be the one you're hoping for.
When push comes to shove, one side in this country has more guns and ammo than most armies of the world while the other has, well, twitter wit.
I'm surprised that Captain isn't commenting in the thread.

Totally agree, it's a personal decision.

Makes me wonder what will happen first, legalized marijuana in NJ (you know, the type you can actually buy) or being able to pump our own gas like the rest of the world. My guess, neither. Our state motto should be "NJ: we can't get out of our own way"
I personally could care less if they legalize pot in NJ. It's just another thing they can tax. The people that want it legal are clueless how much it will actually cost to legally buy. All anyone has to do is go to a Colorado web site to see how much more expensive it is then street price.
As for pumping gas. I don't understand why anyone would want to pump their own. If it goes legal in NJ, you won't find any more full serve stations to serve our elderly. Who really wants to get out of their car in a rain or snow storm to pump their own gas? Not me. I did it for 20 years and it will add to the possible cancers I could get from working. I was also exposed to benzene which causes a bad type of AML Leukemia that my father died from.
My father and the gasoline retailers lobbied hard in the 80's and 90's to keep self serve out of NJ. It didn't make the price cheaper. I was in California, their gas was almost $1 more per gallon because of the insurance they have to have in case Joe Customer spills gas all over.

The first five days after a mandate, the daily growth rate slowed by 0.9 percentage-points compared to the five days prior to the mandate; at three weeks, the daily growth rate had slowed by 2 percentage-points.
Thanks, I'm undecided on masks but lean more so to they do because I haven't caught anything since it started but I've also been disinfecting my hands with Lysol wipes I made. My mask is one layer T-shirt material.

That's true that the vaccine is not 100% effective to stop someone from getting or giving COVID to someone else. I believe it was 15% chance of that happening.
They say the vaccines protect against the variants but who really knows. If you're someone that's prone to getting sick, have a bad immune system, that vaccine may not even be as effective as they say. The only way to know is to be tested for antibodies.
Did no one actually read the article? Murphy's not pushing for more restrictions. He's just saying that if things take a turn for the worse and the hospitals get overwhelmed again, nothing's off the table.
Do you really think a governor with an R after their name would say something different? And if a governor with an R after his name did say that, some of you would fly kick Jesus out of the way to be the first to smooch his bum, lol.
People, stop dividing everything between "R" and "D". These people are ALL politicians and none of them give a rat's ass about you or me but only how to either get or keep their position. The extreme crap on either side is childish and frankly, willfully stupid.
Stop living your lives by reacting to them, and start living despite them. Use intelligence and good sense. How bout that.

So you’re saying that as anti-vaccine nuts die off, and the Republican base continues to dwindle, you’ll all just start shooting people?

Clearly, we have a bunch of people who react on an emotional level and who failed to actually read the article.
Once again, MQ801 stands out as the Voice of Reason and moderation.
As to what the gov said today in regard to Covid and the possibility of booster shots, here is an article... for those who choose to read it:
