I'm taking this as a win we agree...
But even if people disagree about shit, the idea is I think pretty much everyone here just wants to get to the finish line safely so normalcy returns. I can't wait to hit up some indoor dining.

come and take it.
so we steal money form the landlords so they can't pay their bills and the people that work for them. lets all go on welfare....... maybe china can bail us out.

This lockdown isn't really sitting right with me. My feeling is that people aren't catching the virus from restaurants and gyms and movie theaters anymore. They're catching it from their kids in school/daycare, they're catching it from private parties, they're catching it at work (retail, office, etc). Making restaurant and gym business go under just because you feel like you need to do something doesn't seem very smart. If bars are an issue, I have to believe it's a small subset of places that aren't enforcing masking or something. Maybe the state should invest in enforcement of existing policies.

Visited a Military Entrance Processing Station for my aptitude test and medical evaluation, at Ft. Meade MD. Good to see them taking Covid seriously there, they make you sign a form before entering the building on whether or not you have any Covid related symptoms and other things pertaining to being around people with symptoms and being asked to quarantine. As well as taking your temp at the door with a heat gun.
Masks of course are mandatory for all personnel in and entering the building. Everywhere that there is seating there are laminated pieces of paper spacing seating out, directing you to sit in every other seat. Posters and pictures on the walls everywhere telling you to not touch your face and to remain sanitized. There were sanitizing materials absolutely everywhere. The only place masks would be off was briefly in the cafeteria.

Nope.
Most, including me, agree that it will be until then that we get most vaccinated. And it will be with us until 2022.
But at least one said no vaccine at all at least until summer if not 2022.
And not that long ago.
I'm more than pumped at this news, but let's not toot our own horn too much. You also were saying vaccines would be out by the fall or the election at certain points. Everyone has been throwing out random guesses at this and changing those guesses constantly.
Anyway, I was debating cracking a beer tonight but this news did just enough to tilt the balance.

To be fair it's not my horn, but scientists and doctors like Fauci who I respect. I merely linked and quoted them in their around Thanksgiving predictions.
And they, and especially the ones who did what used to take five years in months, who deserve all the praise for working miracles.
When you guys start taking the Vaccine make sure you come on here and let us know what it’s like. I’d appreciate it. Good Luck and God Bless America.

My family should receive the vaccine soon. I am months away.
I will report how they do though.

I was talking to my dad and he is 73 w/ lung/esophageal cancer. I asked when he thought he'd get it. He said he wouldn't be surprised if it were January.
What do you think? When will it be available for a human like that?

First group. Or close to.
20 million people are in that first group and medical and other front line workers are only a fraction of that. Your father ticks the next boxes, over 65 and preexisting conditions.
That said, January is only three weeks away.

Keep him safe for a small time more. Even if you have to lock him in a room.

How many people?
Outside would be safer than in though.
And indoor ain't camping anyways. Neither is the backyard though.

Just her one friend. She is going on a hike with some family members, one of them is a physical therapist flying in from Hawaii.

Yeah, they are all going to be masked which I’m cool with. I just don’t like the idea of her spending the night, but whatever.
I’m handling like 5 people testing positive a day at my work right now.
