Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

I think the new CDC guidance is gonna just about do it for mask mandates by June. In MI, I know Whitmer wants 70% of residents to have had at least one vaccine dose before she'll have the Health Dept lift it, but I don't see how it's going to be politically tenable for much longer.

And just like that, Gov. Whitmer lifts Michgan's mask mandate "for vaccinated people". Effective tomorrow.

No Main Street business is going to demand to see anyone's vaccination card, so that's that.

How will everyone know there is a “pandemic” going on if there isn’t any mask theatre?

Do you also spend an inordinate amount of time telling people who are religious how dumb you think they are? Im sure there are plenty of papers and graphs you could use to disprove god to them.

You'd be a hero!

Please do not quote the derp.

Thinks of cons as bots. They are, presumably, people, but their brains have been taken over by malware. Do not spread the malware. Unplug the cons from the network and call tech support (mental health professional or FBI depending on level of "conservatism").

Honestly there isnt much reason to keep them anymore. The smart ones will be smart and the stupid ones will die. The mandate won't stop that now...

MN is gonna drop theirs too and we still have people in hospitals because they refuse vaccines. Walz can't afford to keep the mandate forever...he is listening to doctors and doing the best he can same with Whitmer.

The best thing this country could do now* is open up 100%.

We have an evolutionary opportunity here. Let's not blow this.

* Actually, in 12 days.

Karma. It's... funny.

Favorite paraphrased comment:

"Continuing to wear a mask is a small sacrifice to make, to ensure that there's no possible way I'll ever be mistaken for a Republican."

I like that the CDC moved quickly on this, but remember that the CDC issues guidance, they don't set rules.

Stupid states already lifted mask mandates. Smart ones are looking at it and trying to figure out how to convert scientific guidance into functioning and enforceable laws. MA issued a reasonable statement saying basically "yes we're going to make an announcement real soon, but until then the law remains".

Maine adopted CDC guidelines. Starts May 24. With no way to tell who is or isn't vaccinated can't see how it makes sense.

We do. Vaccinate minors pursuant to applicable medical guidelines and open it up across the board, except in states where the general population has not yet had full opportunity to vaccinate due to supply issues. Let the social venues fill up. Encourage it in states that resisted masking mandates. Budget funds to provide free beer in bars to unmasked, unvaccinated people for a limited but sufficient amount of time.

Sit back and watch nature's voter law work its magic.

Just as I thought the PC Virtue Signalizer, aka dirty face diaper is all about sound “science”

[Jeb2020]

Someone has a measurable antibody response and/or TCells. They are immune correct?

someone from the “science” crowd please explain.

I saw a stat that said Cleveland Clinics did a survey of their system and something like 99.7% of all hospitalized covid patients now were not vaccinated.

Maher is more concerned that he's losing camera time than he is about getting the virus.

Yeah, this was one I actually agreed with or at least understood.

The dam broke when the CDC said no masks for vaccinated. You can't stand there and principle your way out of the wall of water. Evacuate to higher ground and know you warned people.

I would have liked to see a firm hold at 70% then the mandate goes away. But not happening.

and that said, the large scale (200,000+) show this vaccine is ridiculously good. The study out of Bahrain (or was it UAE?) showed that Pfizer was something like 97% effective against b117 and b1351 against hospitalization. Plus, in countries we've seen hit 50-60%, it just falls off a cliff.

Shocked, I tell you.
