Those who aren't fully vaccinated yet, but intend to, will likely have a "no excuses" opportunity in the next 30 days. Supply exceeds demand right now. The rest of them (fully vaccinated but don't intend to)--my instinct is to say, who cares?

It’s why I have the guy blocked. The only C-D member on my blocked list. It’s nothing but off the wall non sequiturs. And Springfield has at least a 26.9% poverty rate. If the state didn’t prop it up, it would be bankrupt. Pick whatever metrics you want. Children below poverty rate in single parent households is the most concerning since it creates generational poverty. My point is those places have extremely low vaccination rates. For the public health of the rest of us, that needs to be addressed.

Vaxfinder now has a filter option for vaccine type. Wonder if this is because parents complained that it's too hard to find Pfizer for their kiddos.

30 days sounds more reasonable than "tomorrow".

They need to keep wearing a mask because they may encounter someone else who's not vaccinated and who has the disease. But those of us who get the vaccine aren't a threat to anyone, nor are we at risk from anyone. Although, if I knew that someone actually had Covid-19, I'd stay clear of them anyway!

Corrected to what I intended to say.

Correct, and may are seeing how this plays out. People forget this "vaccine" is still in experimental stages. They acted like its been around for decades and is the best thing of all time. The problem is the more they continue with this ridiculous propaganda the more many will continue to wait and hold off on it.

And please stop buying into the unvaccinated are the problem, if you trust the vaccine then you should be safe (well I don't think you are), but then either trust it or don't; and leave others alone.

Weird number of probable cases today. Some 400-something vs the 600-something confirmed ones. I don't think I've ever seen as high a ratio between the probable and confirmed.

That can usually be explained by data getting backfield on any given reporting day. If you have time you can pull up the full report and compare it to the prior day(s). The number is what was reported, not what was administered.

How much business and money is MA losing by not opening up until August while NH is wide open for the summer? Another year and I feel bad for the business owners there.
