You’re jousting at pointless windmills there Don Quixote You're not changing his mind

Yea, I thought he was going out.

I have a phobia about putting stuff in my eyes. Just can’t do it. I wore them years ago when I did surgery (which was very little) but I hated putting them in and taking them out. I use progressive lenses now so I’m not sure contacts would work well anyway.

Home plate Ump just got drilled with a foul ball. Umpire change

Yanks? Not sure I’m too familiar.

I hate it but it wouldn’t be as bad if I didn’t wear glasses. When you sitting inside in a stuffy conference room, it’s warm, your face is stuffed in a diaper, glasses fogged up to the point you can’t see, it’s really stifling and claustrophobic when you can’t see or breathe very well.

He also pitches in the NL. Weaker lineups

So far the Sox are hitting de Grom a little.

You kinda missed my point, but ok

We used to be that way until the city of Cambridge decided to change the rules. Now the “cube people” have to wear them. They can take them off to eat lunch at their desk for an hour, but the minute they start typing again, on it goes. That said, there’s no mask police and most people either take it off or pull it below the chin. Our floor has 40 seats, but we’re at 50% capacity restriction still. Only my department is in which is 10 people on a floor designed for 40

Same here. We can only put 3 in a conference room designed for 12. And we have to be masked. All my reports and myself are fully vaccinated. If the CDC says people can gather that have been fully vaccinated, work rules need to change. Me and my 4 folks should be able to sit in a conference room unencumbered.

At this point I dont really give a shit. I’ll take the risk with a 95% effective vaccine. If people want to hide and be afraid after they’re vaccinated, knock themselves out. We’re not going to change each other’s mind so continuing this is line is pointless.

I live it at work everyday when my glasses fog up constantly.

And I might get hit by a bus on the mass pike tomorrow morning and die a horrible fiery death. Do you worry about sitting next to someone who might be pre symptomatic for measles, mumps? Mumps vaccine is only 78% effective. At some point you have to rust the vaccine and move on. Otherwise hide under the bed until Christ comes back. Again, trust the vaccine. If you don’t, what’s the point? Yiu can decrease the risk of dying in a car wreck by lowering the speed limit to 30 mph. It’s all about risk tolerance. Personally one of the reasons I got vaccinated was to help end this non sense. But I fear this will persist awhile longer.

My point was that if the vaccine is effective, and I believe it is, it won’t matter if your exposed or not, you’re immune. I don’t care if Joe six pack standing next to me has measles rash from head to toe. I’m immune. The CDC says if your vaccinated and had a close contact, there no reason to quarantine or test. So if I’m at Fenway, I should be able to wear no mask and be just fine.

Depends on the location and wokeness of the company. Where I work, I'm totally convinced it will be sometime in 2022 before we get to go mask free. My company loves to virtue signal. We'll wear them on airplanes forever. The shoe bomber happened 20 years ago. We're still going barefoot through security.

I'd take a 99.9 to 75%. That's a big win to me if that happens overnight.

That's assuming the positives that are reported each day are real infections and people are actually sick and infectious. I have serious doubts.

I walked down to Chipotle in Central Sq Cambridge and got lunch. I'd say 99.9% had on masks walking down the street. Granted, the order doesn't lift till Friday at midnight. Baker has timeline, I have mine. I'll go back noon Friday and see what its like then. Any bets?

Please lord let it be soon

Either it works or it doesnt. Why does a crowd or not matter? Thats a rhetorical question BTW

That sux.

One of my employees was on the common Saturday running. She stopped to take a break and had her mask on her chin. Dude on a bike came whizzing by and screamed bloody murder at her.

Some are ok, some questionable. The alliance with the hep c cabal like Abbott, Jansen, Quest, etc to push baby boomers to get tested for hep c isn’t a bad thing. Lots of help c in that population. Sure, the hep c companies help fund the push, but I see that as a needed thing. The Roche Tamaflu push was a little more questionable. The Coca Cola thing was really shady.
