She's saying we need it domestically. Which I agree with 100%.

I agree. It actually makes me mad that this isn't mandatory within the US.

I saw in the news this week that Texas hospitals are overwhelmed and they're exporting patients out to nearby states, and importing more medical staff. Mississippi hospitals are also overwhelmed and requested a hospital ship be sent by the White House. And Louisiana and Florida are in basically the same position - near the breaking point.

Don't underestimate some angry retirees with a car or RV and all year to kill.

"Riffraff," LOLOLOLOL. A stupid cold virus has turned you into the mirror image of the psychotic Republican suburban empty-nester who berates neighborhood kids for stepping on his grass or playing music in their cars. It's truly breathtaking -- and pitiful -- to witness the transformation. "Riffraff." Good Lord.

If you're deathly afraid of mixing with people from the 47 states that have lower per capita death rates from Covid than Massachusetts, then...at what point do you have to admit to yourself that you're just deathly afraid of mixing with people, period?

good for the retirees! way to go!

I mean it seems that even vaccinated people can spread this. I do feel more annoyance towards the people who are refusing to be vaccinated yet get on a plane, go out to eat indoors, attend large events, etc. It does seem selfish hence calling them riff raff who aren't helping stop the spread.

You're deathly afraid of mixing with people from the 47 states that have lower per capita death rates from Covid than Massachusetts. With comments like these, you people are actively inviting every single bit of derision directed your way.

I don't like using "riff raff" to describe other states when no state truly has a monopoly on the word, but here I counted 36 states currently with a higher death rate than Massachusetts. It's heading higher as is everywhere, but it's still safer than most. You are about 14 times more likely to die of Covid in Lousiana right now, than in Massachusetts. Pretty impressive for a little "cold", eh?

I think he is referring to people in general who don't get vaccinated as riff raff. Doesn't matter what state they're from.
