Fam - we okay keeping this unstickied at this point? Baseball is starting back up, the NFL draft, and typical sticky threads have more discussion at this point. How do we feel about that?

I take this to mean covid is over and life can resume normally.
Finally, I can cough on friends again.

I can start licking my hands after gassing the truck up.
I also look forward to not washing my hands anymore, either.

Yep. Your local usher is now authorized to hand them out. Then hand you you're covid vaccine mask gift to continue wearing perpetually.
So..When will be having fans at Consol? It's obviously insane to keep the arenas empty still and other teams, even NY teams are letting them in soon.

I got my second Pfizer shot last Wednesday night. I really didn’t feel any differently after. I was able to sign up at Allegheny General Hospital, which was great.
Giant Eagle is doing a large three-day vaccine event at Heinz field next week if there is anyone out there that wants one.

Good article. Predictions of a gradual lessening with a return to normalcy by Spring to fall.

First vaccine administered by a VIRGIN nurse. She did great, didn't feel a thing.

She seems to have been overly sharing about her personal life.

Cole, here is an article advocating exactly my idea. Allowing those vaccinated into businesses to 100 percent of capacity at certain times to save restaurants and similar. It goes into detail about how it might work including checking for vaccination.

The government just announced that all of New Brunswick could be headed to yellow - the closest phase to being in completely the clear, which is blue - by March 7th.

The "government is trying to kill small businesses" crowd would turn into "restaurants are discriminating against my right to not get vaccinated" real quick because they can't get into Saturday brunch.

I will say the weirdest sentence ever: I do not agree with the process and at the same time I do not disagree with the process.
I will give my pros and cons of this article.+ I mean they hit some terrific concepts like mental illness, loneliness, etc. If anything the article understood what people are going through.
+ I would say this article points to why the f*** are we locked down right now even without the idea? The science does not support these lockdowns at this point. At the absolute minimum - it brings us a PLAN to get back to normal. I applaud that.
=== They referenced something you and I have talked about A LOT https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/marty-makary/90504
I find this one funny because it sorta contradicts what they are asking. But that's a good read and once that many states got HORRIBLY wrong. Especially PA. And it goes back to my comments above that why the f*** is this country locked down for so many young and healthy people?
- They damn well know the time consumption of this is way too outlandish. Without saying it, I think deep down they know the time they buy to keep people at home is there. That makes me feel the paper MAY have some bias being the more people are at home the more they order from Amazon.
Let's not forget who owns this paper. - This once again goes against the freedom for businesses to operate within basic parameters of our constitution. This also really starts to control people in a way. I know people look at this phrasing and say "OH CONSPIRACY THEORY ! WHO CARES!" But realistically the needle just keeps pushing further and further.

Maybe i'm reading this wrong. Do you think small businesses were treated fairly throughout this? I think if there is one takeaway from every state, except a handful, is that we failed our small businesses so poorly. So poorly. We should be ashamed of that as a country. I think that should be universally agreed upon.
And I once again point to my core value of "Let people decide." If a restaurant wants to mandate vaccine proof, I applaud them. If they don't, I applaud them. It's their decision. I just consistently want to say Florida was the yay or nay in this. If their stats were so garbage, I think I would have to say 'Welp.. we have evidence. It's time to accept we have to mandate the vaccine." But when we have a situation like Florida... we have to look towards it and say "Welp there is the evidence."

... @ColePens
I gotta say, I'm fully onboard with PPE and cleaning practices due to my job etc I've avoided going out as much as possible and seen my elderly family like...zero this past twelve months
But... Gonna be interesting in a couple more years...
.. I feel for anyone affected personally by COVID19, but... Even at triple the deathrate we know of right now, the response was ridiculous... That's all
Signed, an extremely liberal west coaster who you would think might not say what I did
