No more restrictions for any business in the state, EXCEPT the mask mandate for indoor places will remain until we get to 70% vaccination in the state. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how this applies to in-house dining then, I would take it that they won't have the restrictions on number of people eating in, though obviously you also wouldn't be using a mask while eating. I hope we get to at least 70% vaccinated soon, they seem a lot more widely available now. A part of me is a bit cautious, I admit, and hoping that Gov. Hogan isn't jumping the gun too quickly here. But cases have been going down, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wear one everywhere (indoors) cause I guess its still the right thing to do.. and I got vaccinated. I just am afraid that people are gonna drag this thing out as long as possible as out of contempt for those who dont want the vaccine. IMHO thats just wrong on so many levels.

This.. it doesnt make any sense.. it would if supplies were limited and there was a wait for vaccines.. but this is not the case at all. It doesnt make any sense at all.. I have seen polling data suggesting that more than 30% of the population will simply never get the vaccine. Knowing this and making policy like "we will remove the mandate when the those who refuse eventually comply".. is actually wrong. At some point it becomes a personal choice.

I no longer wear a mask anywhere (i suppose if i had to get on an airplane i would have to, but i have purposefully not made any air travel plans). If I’m asked to leave i do so politely. Lately, i see more people without masks and far less Karen control freak types. I think that within the next month the weight of vaccinated people and freedom loving people will overwhelm any remaining mask mandates. Dafuq does that even mean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait...you think that people who have taken precautions and have made the decision to wear masks and get vaccinated will want to drag on the mask wearing out of spite against people who refuse to do so? Isn't that like...completely ass-backwards logic? And not only that, but you're getting upset about something that's not even happening? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to accept that, in many situations, vaccinated individuals will test positive but have no symptoms and will not be able to transmit the virus to others.Without knowing the details of the situation, its very possible that these players would’ve just thought they had allergies if not for the daily testing I’m assuming they are still going under. If they all got J&J (which it seems like they did) it’s not crazy that an outbreak in the clubhouse could still happen. The difference being that a post-vax outbreak is a nuisance while a pre-vax outbreak is more dangerous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just still feels like a lot to learn about it such as Is one brand more effective? Was it a variant? Why were 6/7 asymptomatic? We don’t often to get to hear about many of the folks that still get it after being vaccinated, so with these happening to a professional sports team, it would be nice to hear little more about the data and learnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t insulting you, just more so analyzing your personality. We all know someone like you and as frustrating and annoying as it is, we have to remember you can’t help it, it’s just who you are for whatever reason. If you had the self awareness you wouldn’t be this way, so I try not to take it personal anymore 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in a very populated area is why I haven’t had a problem wearing a mask. I don’t like it any more than the next person, but it’s been a necessary deterrent to the virus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm as excited as anyone to see restrictions lifted, but I'm preparing for those restrictions to be put back in place at some point. I don't want to be a deb, but I just can't see the mask and social distance mandates being lifted and there not being a corresponding rise in cases that will be alarming enough to result in state and/or local action. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
