6. Agreed MAH. We should look at nations that have handled the coronavirus best and learn from them.

Mask adherence has been the common factor. I agree that if the numbers go up it will be terrible in a lot of different ways. It will hurt all of us all. It will hurt access to hospitals. It will hurt the economy. We should be working together as a nation, not hoping Republicans will die.

Highlight:

Only 36% in USA have been fully vaccinated. 28% in my state. Why nobody in masks in supermarkets? [View all] Doodley May 2021 OP

Just grabbed some groceries at HT in SC Shermann May 2021 #1

In Jacksonville FL the mask signs were all gone at the 3 stores I stopped at this morning. lark May 2021 #3

I will continue to wear my mask and continue to wear gloves, even though fully vaccinated. Doodley May 2021 #5

As long as people who want the vaccine can get one... Calculating May 2021 #2

Exactly. NT TxGuitar May 2021 #7

YES!!!! beaglelover May 2021 #20

Then at least try to care about the 0-12 year olds, Ms. Toad May 2021 #35

I'm with you. I bet some on the CDC panel, in their heart of hearts, agree. nt LAS14 May 2021 #36

I am personally very troubled by this. madaboutharry May 2021 #4

Agreed MAH. We should look at nations that have handled the coronavirus best and learn from them. Doodley May 2021 #6

Unfortunately we are one of the countries doing better. Nt cinematicdiversions May 2021 #10

More deaths than any other nation. That is doing better? Doodley May 2021 #11

We actually count them. Nt cinematicdiversions May 2021 #12

Yes Trump did a great job! (sarcasm) Doodley May 2021 #16

We should never look at absolute numbers, only rates per amount of population. nt LAS14 May 2021 #38

Schools and businesses will pressure people to get the vaccine. Yavin4 May 2021 #8

People are safe, under the conditions that were measured by the data - Ms. Toad May 2021 #37

People are 100% safe from hospitilaztion and death. Think about... LAS14 May 2021 #40

That is not correct. Ms. Toad May 2021 #41

The percentage is so miniscule that it works out to 100% LAS14 May 2021 #44

First, you are wrong. Ms. Toad May 2021 #47

9245 breakthrough cases out of over 100 million vaccinated Americans NickB79 May 2021 #49

And the 112 who have already died (more by now, I'm sure) and their families, Ms. Toad May 2021 #50

I'm not dismissing their lives. I'm celebrating the efficacy of the vaccine NickB79 May 2021 #52

That does make the vaccine 100% effective. Ms. Toad May 2021 #55

Have you done the math and accounted for rounding? nt LAS14 May 2021 #57

You do understand that if any rounding occurs, the number becomes an approximation, right? Ms. Toad May 2021 #58

The approximation is within .0001 (see elsewhere in thread). Normally, LAS14 May 2021 #59

Your contention is that the vaccine is 100% effective against deaths. Ms. Toad May 2021 #60

You count the percent of vaccinated people, not breakthrough cases. nt LAS14 May 2021 #61

The calculations I just did in the last post used your error (from 100%) Ms. Toad May 2021 #62

Sorry, I don't understand you here. nt LAS14 May 2021 #63

There are 5 million people vaccinated, roughly. Ms. Toad May 2021 #64

Almost 600,000 have died... kentuck May 2021 #9

There haven't been studies to see how many have already had the virus. Doodley May 2021 #14

True. kentuck May 2021 #19

Exactly! You can't just count vaccinations when determining herd immunity. beaglelover May 2021 #21

There is no understanding of how well a past Covid illness vaccinated a person from future illness. Johonny May 2021 #42

LA county is expected to reach herd immunity by late July. beaglelover May 2021 #43

I had covid and the vaccine. Be careful not to double count. boston bean May 2021 #31

That is true. kentuck May 2021 #32

What are you on about? BannonsLiver May 2021 #15

Starting this week I'm back to ordering grocery delivery. sarcasmo May 2021 #17

I agree. What about the front line workers who may not be vaccinated? Do they matter? Kahuna May 2021 #18

Of course they matter, but they should be vaccinated by now. beaglelover May 2021 #22

Some choose not to be luv2fly May 2021 #23

Well I'm not going to continue to wear a mask to protect people who are choosing not to be beaglelover May 2021 #24

Minneapolis: have received at least one dose: whites: 71%, Hispanics: 35%, Blacks: 28%, progree May 2021 #26

Because it clashes with the narrative that it is only cinematicdiversions May 2021 #29

My point is they didn't have to do this now. It could wait another month or two before... Kahuna May 2021 #30

That's exactly how I feel about it. DangerousRhythm May 2021 #34

It shocked me, Mr.Bill May 2021 #56

It is at the least a little odd. The CDC has admitted that we are on an "honor system"... TreasonousBastard May 2021 #25

My county never had a mask mandate although my grocery store requested you wear one GulfCoast66 May 2021 #27

One word: rownesheck May 2021 #28

I'm afraid you are probably right. arkielib May 2021 #33
