A person under 55 years old with no pre-existing health issues is not vulnerable.
But I guess it comes down to your appetite for risk. 1.4 deaths per 10000 for Covid now in the US vs 1.3 deaths per 10000 for flu. If that scares you go get your shot. And your booster. |

Get your gawdman shot. By end of June, there shouldn't be a mask mandate ANYWHERE in the US. If you haven't been fully vaccinated by then, it's completely on you, and I'm no longer inclined to worry about people hesitant to get the shot. |

My wife wants to go to New York in the fall. Any weird restrictions there like needing a vaccination card or restricted travel?

I can see why some of these public health people (that actually made us poorer, sicker, and fatter as a nation) don't want to exit the stage but their time has expired. Last edited by MahomesMagic; 05-10-2021 at 11:49 AM.. |

Not completely true.
Of course this is just one anecdote but it's the first person really close to me that actually had COVID and his story is crazy. He'd been sick off and on for about a month. He was tested for COVID and was negative. When his symptoms failed to improve, he was tested AGAIN for COVID and it was negative. Finally, his breathing became a problem and they admitted him to the hospital for observation. He AGAIN tested negative for COVID, so they gave him the vaccine, despite him being sick. Of course, all 3 tests were wrong - he did have COVID and the shot promptly landed him in ICU in Des Moines after a nice ride on a life flight helicopter. Again, this isn't to say people shouldn't get vaccinated. It's just to say that you can't make blanket generalizations like this. |

Do you believe a vaccinated 60 year old is safer than a non-vaccinated 10 year old from Covid?

States are beginning to scale down vax orders and some are outright stopping them.
Demand has plummeted. https://www.yahoo.com/news/covid-dil...114958812.html |

There may be some thought given to Health Insurance differentiation for those who choose to not take the vaccinations. There is no rational reason for the total cost of insurance to go up for the pool to cover the people who choose to run the risk.
I certainly understand some with reluctance but this is getting absurd. |
