When your party is the one advocating for open borders, then how do you expect rational, sane people to react other than wanting to ensure every actual citizens vote matters?GarlandAg2012 said:
If you want more people to vote, you are likely a Dem but only because Rs strategy going forward appears to be to disenfranchise as many as possible

Agreed, didn't mean to start the thread derail, was just surprised to learn about the voter registration going on at the vaccine sites.

I didn't realize this was also a (D) voter registration drive. A guy I work with went through the Fair Park site this morning and they have people out there trying to register people to vote while waiting for their shot.
Wtf are they pushing people to register to vote for? The next school crossing guard superintendent?
Looks like we can start exporting shots to India where they are in dire need.
Good job, USA.

I cannot believe anyone is still dumb enough to be worried about this virus. It's long past pitiful
Your time is up Clay. Please STFU and crawl back in your hole.
Deaths have really plummeted over the past month, which is great news. New cases as plateaued, which is interesting. We're due for the next wave to hit....hopefully it has started already and our vaxxing is keeping it down.
We'll see. We're not due for COVID season until the summer.
I'll wager that detected infections will start rising again right about the same time in June that they did last year. But the vaccines and existing community immunity will blunt things considerably, as was recently seen in the midwest and northeast.

We haven't trailed the East Coast by 4+ months on the other waves. It is typically about a month.
The northern region peaked in mid April last year and this year. We peaked in July last year, along with the rest of the sunbelt.
We're due = two more weeks = flatten the curve
Hang in there kitty!

That's fair.
The thing with texas is....
Was it June, or was it post memorial day weekend?
Was it June, or was it that it was completely novel and that's when it first hit here?
We had no immunity last June, people gave up their social distancing around Memorial day(remember all the terror of people gathering then?), and June still paled in comparison to December. I still think it won't even register as noticeable. If it happens, we are talking about going from 2500 cases to 4500 per day. And I'd argue less hospitalizations and deaths than we have right now. But only time will tell.

Clay is only updating numbers every other day. We haven't dipped below three digits of new cases per yet, but we're close.
I've been pretty pro-mask through all this, but I've just about reached my limit. Taking my daughter to the arboretum this morning, and their site says masks are still required the entire time there. Does this make any sense?

It's not supposed to make sense. Not trying to pick a fight but none of this was ever logical.
It never made sense, it's all about the appearance of doing something.
While being outside the whole time. No, it doesn't.double aught said:

I wouldn't wear one and would tell them Fauci says it's fine now. Use their god against them.
Wife got called out while there. She was not within 50 feet of any other human being and was outside.double aught said:

Don't like it? Don't go.
In a surprising twist, I went to my local Chipotle last night and there was no mask sign requirement so I went in sans mask. I was the only person in the entire place without one including the several 3-4 yr olds that were wearing them.
No one said anything to me.

Yes, which is why I was surprised considering my last run-in with the Mgr there. I also noticed that dick Mgr was not there last night. Maybe he found another opportunity.SoupNazi2001 said:YouBet said:

I've noticed Chipotle has stopped enforcing theirs in the last week or so. They were adamant nazis about it before. People who mask 3 and 4 year olds while not on a plane are idiots.
Places like Chipotle know exactly what they are doing. They absolutely crushed during the pandemic because of how they handled mask-policies.
Most places have stoped enforcing it bc it dumb and has been from the beginning.

It's undoubtedly dumb but just always have your camera out 'taking pictures' or tell the guards you have a medical condition. Just scream "HIPAA mother****er"!!" and go crazy for 5-10 seconds like Homer Simpson did when he had no TV and no beer
edit: Just saw a heading that CDC is changing its outdoor guidelines so hopefully this madness ends soon. The stories my friends tell about NV, CA, NJ and NY are just upsetting.
Lying and throwing tantrums is definitely more reasonable than simply wearing a mask.

Maybe instead we should all try to good to one another and consider not making people do things against their will.
edit to say: I didnt mean to come across harsh if I did, I kinda meant the post as a goof. I think we're at the point where everyone is trying to outdo others with their own personal righteousness
The cop they sent over to talk to her even said it was ****ing stupid and a waste of her time. Which it is. No sane individual thinks this is okay. Are you sane?Ol Jock 99 said:

There is nothing reasonable about asking someone to impede their breathing outside for the added safety (see: no additional value) of some hippie flowerchild working on the azaleas on the other side of the park.
You keep complying comrade. I'd recommend extra oxygen way up on that high horse.

Nope, CDC says fully vaccinated can go massless outdoors with a small gathering. Complete joke.
They didnt define 'small gathering" so, for better or worse, they are leaving it to the states, cities, venues to make that determination. As it effects the Arboretum, if they simply continue to restrict the number and timing of admissions, one would think guests could be maskless. Certainly the staff and security guards should be...Quote:
