Coma16 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 @B5Redeyehope you feel better. What type of mask were you wearing? Most masks protect others from the person wearing it, rather than protect the mask wearer. Did you have any eye protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wore a mask for 99% of the time while at Metlife and always in the concessions, bathroom, etc. Pretty sure I got it. Going to get tested tomorrow. :-( Good luck dude! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the statement I was responding to, nothing about cases. Everything was lower last summer, including cases. You can't factor in hospitalisations and deaths and not cases. It doesn't work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can, hospitalisations and deaths are what ultimately matters, that's why restrictions are in place because ICUs can't handle the pressure. Cases (alone) mean nothing. Cases are useful if you are comparing positively rates amongst age groups. Plus you're the one that said "things are lower now why is that?" and I said because summertime has something to do with it, just as it did last year (without any vaccine). Keep moving the goalposts though... Edited August 10, 2021 by Coma16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep moving the goalposts though... If cases go up and hospitalisations and deaths remain low, the vaccination is working. That's exactly what has happened. I won't tell anyone to go out and get vaccinated, I strongly disagree with vaccination passports and there are numerous issues around the vaccination testing (or lack thereof). But, you can't argue that it hasn't brought deaths and hospitalisations down as cases reach peak levels. No one has moved any goal posts. You're just incapable of analysing statistics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'd show them the fake proof. See, I don't get this at all. It's not a really "personal" question at all. They're not asking for your detailed medical history but simply evidence that you've had an injection. It's simply silly to get all upset about this. It's not like they're asking for your rap sheet at the clap clinic for fuck sake. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jamillos Posted August 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2021 It is not about Covid or vaccines any more. Not even about information, links, experts etc., as each person can find their own stuff that will suit their own beliefs. This thing is about how we – once again, round and round – allow the “upper tier” to divide and conquer us. Same shit, different day. Look at any discussion regarding Covid anywhere. People spewing monologues at each other, every single one of them convinced of their truths and the others being assholes. Whether it’s Covid, ecology, migration, aliens, or some ridiculous politics. Pure black or white world, nothing between, no agreement or will to cooperate and unite so that the upper cunts won’t be able to just keep running away with all the wealth and destroying the world while we fight each other to death like idiots. I know, it sounds cheesy these days, but that’s maybe because it gets repeated. And why does it have to get repeated then, I wonder? Please try to think out of the box sometimes, whatever the fucking box is. Peace. (Back to Absurd) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G O A T Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have tickets to Atlantic City for me and my wife. Things were still looking good and going in the right direction when I bought them couple of weeks ago. I don't even consider going right now. We should avoid crowded indoor spaces until it's safe and I don't see that happening anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Germany you can't attend an event without either being vaccinated, tested or if you recovered from a corona infection. Don't get why the US let's everybody in.

I'm not going to say that untested vaxxed people are the ones posing a bigger threat in that scenario). Wonder how long that will be kept up though. There is talk to change that in the fall and have people pay for tests/not let in without vaccination.

Ak1nney Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I don't think it's political to require legitimate proof of vaccination to get into concerts while this deadly virus is still hanging around. If much more of the population (in the US) had been vaccinated when they were first allowed to, we wouldn't be here. People are out here denying how many people have died like this is all some big hoax. It's ignorant and pathetic. It's smart to require vaccination for events like concerts. It's all about public safety. I personally know 3 people that have had covid and here's how the conversation went... "Hey man, I got covid." Were you vaccinated? "No." Get well soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that supposed to mean? You can also get it, if you're vaccinated. The question is, did it knock them down, did they need medical care, how long did it take? The virus can be deadly.

Popular Post Pedrolg Posted August 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2021 Americans have been so fortunate to have two of the most effective vaccines massively deployed very fast, and yet sheer idiocy is jeopardizing the country's (and, to an extent, humanity's) only known response to the pandemic. It is hard to watch. A private event requesting proof of vaccination being treated as some sort of massive personal violation, people taling about presenting fake proof of vaccination, torturing numbers to deny the correlation between vaccines and a drastic reduction in the death/cases ratio.

Playing russian roulette with a six shooter is also not deadly. Only one in six will end up shooting themselves, and not all of them will die, some of them will be saved with medical care. So it will only sometimes, for some people, be deadly. Still, if millions of people decide to play russian roulette daily, the death toll and serious physical injury toll will be catastrophic.

If it would be 1 in 6, then I guess I would be with you, more willing to call it a deadly virus and more in a rush. But it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a lot of people don't understand that just as it is their choice to not get the vaccine, it is the choice of companies/events to deny them entry if they don't have it. Still seeing people say that covid isn't deadly after the amount of people that have died from it is rather concerning.
