Ended up calling in sick but gladly NYS let's you fill out a form where your employer can't dock you for vaccine-related time off. Biden is proposing this go nationwide right?

But if I were theoretically going to be in a very busy pedestrian area (close to hundreds of people, shoulder to shoulder) I suppose I would.

Captain Pickle Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I think masks in many parts of the US vs Canada (at least from my experience in Toronto) are very different. It’s more polarized in the US so it seems youre extreme on both sides. As a mask wearer I get it. If I was surrounded by idiots that don’t follow any of the rules I’d be more nervous and rightfully so. Who knows if that maskless moron just came from a wedding. However, I haven’t seen anyone here ever fight store managers About policies and what not. We simply wear are mask indoors. But outdoors is different. Many, myself included don’t wear it. In my neighborhood walking my dog I’ve not once put on a mask. However, on the rare occasion, if I go into my empty downtown office I’ll wear my mask outside getting there. I’ve never thought joggers and cyclists need to wear a mask because they are outside and can easily social distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Despite the removal of the mask mandate, it’s still odd to see people not wear masks indoors even in places that don’t require them. High 90%. But it’s always been rare here to see people wearing masks outdoors when away from others. Pretty much only ever see people wearing masks outside if they are interacting with people outside of their immediate circle. Even then more likely to just see people stand far apart.

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 People wearing masks outdoors is crazy town. Wearing masks indoors, specifically when you are spending any amount of time within 2m of each other happens 100% of the time near me.

Jason Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Holy fuck it's even worse, the Streetsblog article he links to says they were explicitly telling people to take transit to the Coliseum. Quote Daniel Filipkowski of San Francisco finally managed to get an appointment for his vaccine at the Oakland Coliseum. He got his confirmation email Sunday with all his details. He headed down via BART on Monday. But when he got there, he and others who walked across the pedestrian bridge from the BART station were in for a shock–despite all the public announcements encouraging people to take transit to the Coliseum, he was turned away.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Maine and new Hampshire are the states to watch. Currently they are the states with the highest % of fully vaccinated and first shot, respectively. At a little less than about 60% NH looks to be trailing off in vaccination rates though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 It looks like Canada will get more people vaccinated than the US (in terms of at least one shot given) in the next 20-30 days. This is due to skipping second shots for now in an effort to create herd immunity with one shot. However, Canada will also surpass the US in second shots given in the late summer, based on trends. I think it's due to lower vaccine hesitancy. US seems likely to level off between 60 and 70% total vaccination, with Canada between 70 and 80%. How much of a difference this will make, I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the last guy and they ran out so let me come to a moderna now. I’m here right now!

How much of a difference this will make, I don't know That's much faster than I've seen projected. My second dose is scheduled for August 18th -- and given that we are just slightly north of 27% with one dose, that should put us at around 27% fully vaccinated by mid-August. Which is exactly where the US is today. We might catch up with them in September/October -- but November isn't too much of a stretch either. Our strategy is to minimize deaths/serious illness because even one dose dramatically reduces the likelihood of serious illness. I haven't seen a virologist suggest our strategy will expedite herd immunity -- quite the contrary -- I've seen them suggest that we need to get 80-95% of full vaccination to get there. And since we are not vaccinating children -- and certainly not before the fall/winter -- herd immunity is impossible before then. That is, if herd immunity is even possible with a Coronavirus -- and it may not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
