?? You’re the one who said that poster proved you right & you said the majority are getting vaccinated. Across the country, that’s not true.
The vulnerable sectors of the population ARE vaccinated. This is nationwide. I live in rural WV and as of last Friday 79.6% of the population over 65 are FULLY vaccinated. Stop with the madness already!
I might lose it on people who are unvaccinated. Because if we have to go back to masks and shut downs it will be their fault!
The weak minded are easily manipulated to turn on their fellow man. History proves that. All the media has to do is whip up fervor toward a scapegoat. Those born with a backbone won't fall for it. Sorry to see that your comment proves so many today are lacking one.
Again, doesn't matter what you or I say or think. What matters is Delta is spreading and businesses are now taking measures.
Most are sick of wearing them. If there are two stores that are similar the store not requiring them is going to thrive while the other one, not so much. The only way would be a govt mandate and our Gov is so worried about getting recalled he'd never pull that trigger again.

Like most others who voted, I don't care either way. I've gotten used to using a mask, and working from home, which is saving me hundreds of dollars and hours of time every day. The silver lining in the pandemic, for us, is having more money. The hoarding of sanitizer and toilet paper were only early on at the first lockdown, things have progressed beyond that now.

I don't know anyone who isn't sick of wearing a mask, myself included. However, as Covid takes hold, I think we're going to see more and more businesses require them. Just today I saw that Savannah has re-imposed their mask mandate and that several health care providers, including Mayo, are wanting to require vaccines for their healthcare workers. I just now saw a story about an Atlanta restaurant who will not serve unvaccinated patrons. It's probably going to become more prevalent, mask and vaccine requirements.

It boggles my mind that anyone could even utter this phase at this point. Covid "took hold" last spring, and possibly before. Now, it is over. There are vaccines for it. It is an endemic virus with strong and predictable seasonal swings.
What it looks like you might mean is permanent biosecurity restrictions will take hold, which I think could go either way. Ostensibly it's still up to the people just how much this stuff worms its way into our lives.
I think everyone needs to consider moving to a state or area that fits their political ideology.
Maybe right. Then the blue states can protect themselves by closing their borders to anyone trying to come from the red states. We'd have the de facto separation of the country that some on here seem to want, without having to go through a civil war!
