We've been over this. No more fucks given to non-vaccinated people.

99's comments speak for themselves

Cascadia is a level 5 troll outta 10.
Illy is like a 6 or 7.
So it's pretty close.

[Cascadia]

lol, sure.

Just got back from my 3rd microchip. Feeling great!

WWJD? WSGD?
Long story as short as possible.
My mother and I have to drive up north to go to my cousin's house for turkey dinner.
One of my best buds lives up north near where my cousin lives and his sister does too.
His mother is getting picked up in the city by his sister but she asked my mother if we could give her a ride back to the city tonight. My mother said of course we can/will.
Ok, here is the dilemma. My mother wasn't thinking straight.
My buddy and his sister (who happens to be an RN) aren't "anti-vaxxers" per se but neither of them are vaccinated. My guess is their kids aren't either.
Maybe this is being completely over-paranoid but I'm not thrilled my buddy's mother will be riding in a car with us for an hour or more.
She's a VERY strong (opinionated) Israeli who at times basically bullies my mother. Heck, she's a Trumper too. I KNOW if/when my mother would tell her my feelings, she'll go off on my mother.
So..... Do I just let it go and suck it up?

It’s never going to end. And that’s by design.

There's some truth to it. The people who refuse to get vaccinated ensure that this can happen. It's not a coincidence that this strain came from a country where 75% are not vaccinated.

I’m not saying COVID isn’t real. I’m saying that governments have seen and experienced what it is like to have control over the day-to-day lives of people, and they’re not going to let it go. Don’t believe me? Remember the “temporary” airport security measures after 9/11? Twenty years later, we’re still being searched in the airports. There will always be a “new” strain and a new reason to be afraid and limit our lives. It’s by design.

Governments aren't changing virus sequences.

Susceptible hosts are, albeit unintentionally.

One more reason we should spend energy encouraging everyone to be vaccinated instead of defending the decision not to under the guise of personal freedom.

Want to take away that opportunity for governments to overstep their bounds...get vaccinated.

I am. Booster scheduled for next week.

And? Society changes. Methods used by terrorists change. Public health concerns change. Things change. If taking 15 minutes going through a metal detector at the airport makes it less likely that my plane gets hijacked or blown up, that is a minor inconvenience I am more than happy to experience.

The government doesn't have control over day to day life. The government has no say in anything I do in my day to day life today. My day today is:

1) Get up and decide whether to go in to work or work from home. My choice.
2) Let the kids sleep in or get them up on some sort of schedule. My choice.
3) Work through lunch and then take a break to watch the KU game or try to work while watching it. My choice.
4) Run some errands or push them off due to it being Black Friday. My choice.

What is it specifically that you think the government has control of in your day to day life? Or is it just another made up boogeyman to support your "gummit gunna get ya" shtick?

No, it feels like it is never going to end because too many morons will not get vaccinated and nip this thing in the butt. We have been told all along that allowing COVID to run through us is going to present opportunities for mutations to develop. It's a conspiracy; it's fundamental science and as usual, the morons are simply proving it to be accurate.

WWJD? WSGD?
Long story as short as possible.
My mother and I have to drive up north to go to my cousin's house for turkey dinner.
One of my best buds lives up north near where my cousin lives and his sister does too.
His mother is getting picked up in the city by his sister but she asked my mother if we could give her a ride back to the city tonight. My mother said of course we can/will.
Ok, here is the dilemma. My mother wasn't thinking straight.
My buddy and his sister (who happens to be an RN) aren't "anti-vaxxers" per se but neither of them are vaccinated. My guess is their kids aren't either.
Maybe this is being completely over-paranoid but I'm not thrilled my buddy's mother will be riding in a car with us for an hour or more.
She's a VERY strong (opinionated) Israeli who at times basically bullies my mother. Heck, she's a Trumper too. I KNOW if/when my mother would tell her my feelings, she'll go off on my mother.
So..... Do I just let it go and suck it up?

You just wear a mask and ask your Mom to wear a mask for the entire duration of the car ride. That is less of a hassle than enduring the argument and strain it puts on the relationship with your friend. If they take that as rude then they aren't very good friends and you won't miss their friendship.

Fantastic suggestion and...... the good news (for me) is/was......
She took an Uber back to the city because our dinner was so late - and we didn't leave until after 10:00pm.
