Unfortunate. 9/11 changed this country so much with the security measures put in place, covid is going to change this country even more. You're going to need a vaccine passport to go to bills/sabres games, to concerts, to travel. This world has gone insane, people die...we all will. Let us live with the short time we have on this amazing planet. I’m becoming more comfortable with the idea of staying home in that case. Frankly, I have plenty of entertainment options within my four walls with today’s technology. If too many people feel the same way, these industries that rely on in-person attendance could be in trouble. If you make it too difficult for people to engage in recreational activities, a lot of them might say “forget it” and find something else to do. As long as I can go to my gym, I’m happy. The owner of mine says he has no intention of imposing such requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From taxes to screwing over the working class to state government control...there isn't much freedom left in this state. If I grew up a Native New Yorker, I would be so saddened with the state I live in. It's a pretty high likelihood my wife and I will not call this state our home by the time if/when we make it to retirement age. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my family fled to Florida years ago. In retrospect, I should have followed suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t understand that whole hubbub with it’s high rate of effectiveness and lack of many reports of negative side effects. Maybe I just don’t understand it, but I received it through my employer and outside of a sore arm, went really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is wrong with it, requiring a vaccine to go everywhere is what I have a problem with. People should have a choice. I have my shot scheduled for next Saturday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll eventually be like the flu, and won’t be an every year thing to have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finally got the 17-game season passed, huh? Sounds like we could have a Super Bowl on President’s Day weekend which could give many people the following day off without having to take a sick/vacation day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Those 7-Day Traveling Averages for new cases in NYC has doubled from about 7,000{March 4-10} to near 15,000{March 25-31}. This is a solid increase of 3% per day compounded. Vaccinations do not seem to be working. Take off your mask and you could die with or without the shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide in our basements the rest of our lives or run around like our hair is on fire screaming “The end is near”? The hysteria is a big reason why many people have tuned it all out. I’m wearing the mask and being as smart as I can with respect to taking care of myself and interacting with others. You can’t control everything and no one is guaranteed tomorrow with or without Covid. You have to keep living on some level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortmax Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Everyone should be expecting a bump in cases as things loosen up a bit. My guess is that this will be a temporary blip. Nice weather will be here along with herd immunity. The vaccines are doing OK against the tougher variants so hoping they won't be an issue. Wouldn't be surprised to see a booster in 6 months for variants, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about bringing some players up from the minors. No one got vaccinated? This is bullshit.
