CitizenVectron Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 As of today, anyone 12+ in my province can get their first dose. Awesome to see demand staying high. My 17-year-old niece went to a drive-thru clinic yesterday and got hers, which I am very happy about. Her mom (my wife's sister) is...dumb, and is not going to be vaccinated, and tried to convince my niece not to be, either. Fortunately she (niece) is dating a guy in the military (only 18, not super creepy, lol) who has been vaccinated since Jan, and who has actually administered vaccines in long term care homes when the military was sent in to help. So he's seen first-hand what the virus has done to people in vulnerable places. So he convinced her to get the shot, and explained the risks, side-effects, etc. Tomorrow she will be taking her younger brother (14) to get the shot as well. I'm very happy about that. Fortunately in my province anyone 13 and up can make certain medical decisions for themselves, provided they are of sound mind. Vaccination is one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Half of Adults in Pennsylvania Now Have Full COVID Vaccine Protection WWW.NBCPHILADELPHIA.COM Pennsylvania is marking a milestone, with 50% of adults statewide now considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19. PA will lift all COVID restrictions on Memorial Day. The only exception will be the mask mandate for unvaccinated adults, but the state will lift that as well once the total vaccinated adult population is at 70%. According to the article, 68% have at least one dose, so I don't expect it to remain much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I got an email on my work account that out of about 1,500 people who live near one of our officse, they got about 1,250 responses on their vaccine survey, and 74 percent are already fully vaccinated and 22 percent have received at least one dose or plan to be vaccinated within a month. Only 4 percent said they don't plan to get vaccinated at all (lol dummies). Which works out to at least 80 percent fully vaccinated by early June, presumably higher accounting for the non-responders and some people who responded after the survey had closed. Which is reassuring to know for whenever they end the mask requirement in the offices, although they said they're planning on just keeping it in place for now.

Honestly, we are at the point on Oregon where you can just walk up to a place and get stabbed, so I'm totally fine with lifting masks. At this point I'm like don't make me enforce arbitrary rules. Have a mask mandate or don't. Don't have this like "well some people have to wear them but some people don't" bullshit. It's too much.

It’s up to the business to allow people in without masks, but if they do they are required to get verification either with a card or a photo of the card.

There is no enforcement mechanism by the state. They aren’t requiring logs be kept. They are just shifting the honor system from individuals to businesses.

Fizzzzle Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm not the mask police. My job is already hard enough. Give people an inch and they'll take a mile and I don't have the time to care. I barely have the time to verify the 78 different state IDs, my care meter about vaccine cards is already running low. I just think having a "okay, SOME people have to wear masks" is stupid. Everyone does or no one does. I don't have the mental capacity to enforce that shit on top of everything else. Make up your fucking mind.

I gotta think that of those 4%, some have conditions which prevent vaccination. My wifes nephew was born with liver problems, will need a transplant in the future. He cannot be vaccinated.

I guess it's possible but it seems a little unlikely that each and every one of those 50 people have legitimate reasons to not be getting vaccinated. SOME, certainly, but not all 50.
