Pretty much every big college in NJ other than TCNJ, Monmouth and NJIT.
Not an outlandish take. We dont know how long the vaccines are protective for. Variants will impact that as well. It may depend how many people take the boosters, which will likely be less than how many are taking the original vaccines.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/06/got...r-lifting-indoor-covid-mask-mandates-now.html
former head of FDA wants indoor mask mandates gone through summer, but is open to them being reimposed in the winter

Still, it's all speculation at this point. Hopefully we're leaving this pandemic behind us for good. The rest of the world, however, eekkk....
And hopefully I win the lottery every week for the next year. I'm OK with the minimum jackpot for Weeks 2 thru 52, no need to get greedy.Hopefully, the annual vaccine proves more popular than the flu vaccine does
I think part of what makes the flu vaccine unpopular is its widely varying effectiveness (also the fact that we've lived with the flu for so long many people don't see the big deal, hence the "it's just a flu" talk now). COVID-19 has proven to be a far more predictable virus so I expect any booster to be quite solid.Hopefully, the annual vaccine proves more popular than the flu vaccine does
If you're bored of covid restrictions go to Florida. Closest from 2019 you can be
What rules are still in Florida? Masks in indoor spaces?If you're bored of covid restrictions go to Florida. Closest from 2019 you can be
Technically not even that, however businesses are still allowed to require it and most still do (at least the ones I frequent anyway). It's just no longer coming from the government.What rules are still in Florida? Masks in indoor spaces?
Sweet. That’s it? Can you have a wedding with 1000 guests at it?Technically not even that, however businesses are still allowed to require it and most still do. It's just no longer coming from the government.
If you can find a place to host it, I assume.Sweet. That’s it? Can you have a wedding with 1000 guests at it?
Businesses will always be "allowed" to require it. The government can't prevent that.Technically not even that, however businesses are still allowed to require it and most still do (at least the ones I frequent anyway). It's just no longer coming from the government.
Yeah I was more making the point that it isn't 100% "back to normal" here.Businesses will always be "allowed" to require it. The government can't prevent that.
I'm sure there will be businesses that require it for a while after the official mandates end.Yeah I was more making the point that it isn't 100% "back to normal" here.
Only if they bring REALLY expensive (and returnable for cash) presents.Sweet. That’s it? Can you have a wedding with 1000 guests at it?
The worldwide COVID-19 death toll is more than double the official count of 3.24 million, a controversial new study estimates, and the U.S. is no exception.
More than 905,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the U.S., 57% more than the official tally, researchers at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington said Thursday in a new analysis. That’s more than any other country.
The official U.S. toll is about 580,000, according to Johns Hopkins University statistics.
Worldwide the total is close to 7 million, which is more than double the official toll of 3.24 million, as recorded by Johns Hopkins University.
Looking at excess mortality between March 2020 through May 3, 2021, the researchers compared that to what would normally happen in a year without a pandemic, then made allowances for ancillary pandemic-related factors. They were left with, they said, numbers reflecting solely deaths from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Texas cases falling
Where are the mongerers (including Fauci) who were saying we would have an explosion due to the mask mandate ending?
Really you’re just focused on Texas in the middle of a global pandemic. And that’s a pretty silly metric.
It's not silly at all.Really you’re just focused on Texas in the middle of a global pandemic. And that’s a pretty silly metric.
Furthermore, just because other countries aren't faring as well, does not mean we should not celebrate our own coming to normal. We're in a completely different scenario as India for example. Yes we should help them, but what is happening in Texas won't make any difference on what is happening in India.
It's not silly at all.
Didn't see this posted
COVID-19 US death toll as high as 905,000, worldwide is double official estimates, study claims
I don't know if I believe it, but it is something to talk about
It's not silly for one to be focused on their home state. We are all guilty of itReally you’re just focused on Texas in the middle of a global pandemic. And that’s a pretty silly metric.
