New COVID Restrictions - What Have You Seen?
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
I was on a conference call with someone that lives in NYC yesterday and they said starting this week to dine in a restaurant they have to present a vaccination card. Several national chains in my area are requesting you wear masks when entering their stores (but it’s not being enforced).
Aside from that it seems like business as usual everywhere else although I’m hearing of a lot of new COVID cases locally although most people are unvaccinated.

1) People are sick of it and are not going to comply.
2) Small businesses have no practical way to enforce these rules.
Only concert venues and sports events that already have security / police in place will be able to comply. Not that I think that's a bad thing.... GET YOUR SHOTS... Vaccine and Crown Royal.
The US Navy in Rhode Island is requiring masks indoors regardless of vax status. I'm not sure about other federal or state facilities.
Yes we are all sick of the rules but I’m sick of paying taxes and speed limits too, I just try to do what’s best for society so I can live in a good place. That’s not happening until everyone gets the jab and if that takes too long then the thing will mutate into something that needs a whole new vax cycle.
For fuck sake spend 5 minutes at Walmart (your there anyways) and get it over with.
I am not an anti-vaxxer. I believe that if you want your child to go to public schools, they should get the MMR, meningitis, etc. required vaccinations. I agree with having your child vaccinated against herpes and HPV. I even made the decision to take the Moderna COVID vaccine. Key word: my decision. These are not a FDA-approved vaccines. These vaccines received EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION for the most vulnerable persons. People for whom COVID-19 was more dangerous. Then they released it, but never approved it, for most of the adult and YA population; for people to receive if the chose to. Spending all day in a medical practice surrounded by extraordinarily vulnerable people or surrounded by those in constant contact with EVPs, I chose to be vaccinated. We never required it of any employees. It didn't help when everyone who received had to call out sick the day after their second dose. Mandating people to take an unapproved vaccine is WRONG. No one I know has had any serious side effects from the vaccine; but that does not make it safe.
I feel the same way about masks. If you want your child to wear a mask, make them wear a mask. If your obese, diabetic, MIL lives with you, then tell the teacher that your child is to wear a mask. But that does not mean that everyone's child should wear a mask. Parents make decisions for their children, not teachers and bureaucrats. If you want to require masks in your business and risk the hit to your revenue line, then by all means do it. By the same token, if a bureaucrat is going to close businesses, force mask-wearing outdoors, and order people to stay at home, then they should be prepared to lose the tax revenue, defend that decision come election cycle, and compensate law-abiding business owners out of whatever funds the municipality has available.
Until there is an FDA-approved vaccine with minimal side effects, then no one, no where, and no business should be requiring it.
Local businesses, however, are free to require masks. Most are now posting the new CDC guidance on their windows, but none that I have seen are actually enforcing mask use. That includes my kids' dentist and orthodontist.
After a year and a half enough is enough already.
San Francisco requires proof of vaccination for some bars/restaurants, but most don't yet. I don't believe any actually scan the QR code, so I could see easy forgeries
Then let it.
When are they planning on eradicating the flu, or chicken pox, or mononucleosis?
We need to oppose all restrictions, testing, and mandatory vaccinations.

We need uniform mitigation efforts throughout the country.
But all that's happening is we're sold and coerced into a false sense of safety to appease the private sector which opposes lockdowns and measures to help people.
The idea that any of this is reducing the number of people exposed to the virus is how the idiocy started. At most, all it does is slow it down so that we don't over flow the hospitals. Beyond that it is just stupidity.

If you give the government the power of vaccine passports, they will only abuse that power long term. It will turn into a Chinese social credit score. Did you not do what daddy government wanted you to do? Did you not comply? Oh no, I guess you can't ride on the bus, drive a car, etc. Privileges revoked.
It's orwellian and totalitarian. Do not comply. You give the government and inch and they take a mile. Crack open a history book.
This starts out innocent. "Let's save lives due to a virus". Great! Get the vaccine. But being in favor of keeping someone from getting food from a grocery store is exactly the person who would be a nazi in German concentration camps killing jews.
Some people do, usually those who desire the warm embrace of Big Daddy Government taking care of them. Some men are just wired that way I suppose.
Personally, I would rather see them ask for the negative test result than vaccination for concerts and mass gatherings because while the vaccines are fairly effective they aren't 100%. On the other hand I do know a couple of people that said the only reason they got the vaccine is because they have tickets to several concerts and didn't want to keep having the nasal swab tests done each week.
For restaurants apparently they can be removed after being seated.
I cannot stand Newsom, been opposed to him since before he was San Francisco Mayor. I want him to just resign because I do not want to see his seat go to a Republican. I don't want to see a replay of Grey Davis and Arnold Swarzenegger.
Swarzenegger was moderately pro-choice, so he never could have made it through the Republican Primary. I would not be surprised if they have again picked someone like that, moderately pro-choice, someone who never could have made it through the Republican Primary.
Newsom was continually making a fool of himself during Summer and Fall 2020, promoting COVID hysteria, flying in the helicopter over our beached, getting all exercised because the positive test rate climbed from 5.1% to 5.6%, and talking about his Army of 10,000 Contact Tracers. He should be in prison. But I still do not want his seat to go to a Republican..
