Notice The OFFICIAL Corona Virus Vaccine Game Thread........

But that came after the "2 weeks to flatten the curve".

 

"Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday ordered all Californians to stay at home, marking the first mandatory restrictions placed on the lives of all 40 million residents in the state’s fight against the novel coronavirus."

 

One tank to flatten you, FAMS!

 

There have been several "we could flatten the curve/end the pandemic in weeks" proclamations. I was thinking of the one where either Fuaci or the director of the CDC said that if everyone just wore masks and socially distanced, within a few weeks, we'd have everything under control. That was last summer or early fall, as I recall.

I'm not sure which one you're referring to. If you have an article mentioning it, that would be helpful.

 

2 weeks to flatten the curve was termed early on, probably March 2020. It certainly wasn't summer or fall. By that time, the masks and social distancing were mandated until a vaccine was to be released.

 

Yeah, that's the stay-at-home order. People were still perfectly free to leave their homes, like for walks or to go to the store. They just weren't allowed to gather in groups and non-essential businesses were closed.

 

They weren't free to leave their home. They were allowed to leave their home for an approved reason. That's a lockdown. It was a directive.

Stay Home Order
On March 19, 2020, an Executive OrderPDF and a Public Health OrderPDF directed all Californians to stay home except to go to an essential job or to shop for essential needs. These orders were modified by the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

 

Tits?

 

Some of us have a cesspool in our yard and respectfully request that the use of the term "cesspool" be ceased.

 

omg so authoritative and so leftist! This place is a cesspool

Lol

 

I don't think you did this correctly. Or you were being sarcastic about your "lol" and really meant what you said?

NOTE: I don't blame you for your feelings either way. Other than your use of "cesspool".

 

I didn’t do it the way we used to do it. The lol in green is to show the whole thing was sarcasm

 

I’m not totally clear that this is allowed in such format in the S2 bylaws.

 

I've never heard it before now.

 

This thread in meme form.

 

That doesn’t mean it didn’t exist a year ago...

Fully vaccinated Americans can go maskless outside - EXCEPT when attending crowded events like a concert, parade or baseball game, CDC finally says

• Fully vaccinated people can now shed their masks outdoors for just about any activity - unless it involves a crowd, the CDC said on Tuesday
• People who have not been vaccinated can also go maskless at small outdoor gatherings with vaccinated people or while exercising outside
• But the CDC says everyone - vaccinated or unvaccinated - is 'safest' with a mask while doing any indoor activity
• Unvaccinated people can also lose their masks when exercising outside or getting together with small groups of vaccinated people outdoors

 

Lol. Oh can they? I’m sure they’ll be glad to join the rest of us.

 

I may ramble because I am so confused, so please forgive me.

My family has been very conservative throughout the pandemic, we wear masks and think they work - long before Covid-19. My wife is Chinese and I've been told by my MIL to wear a mask outside for years! We have kept our daughter home from school all year and taught her from home, even after her school opened back up in January.

Ok, so it is my understanding that having the vaccine (fortunately have received already) doesn't prevent you from getting Covid-19 but essentially prevents you from having a severe case (this is what I have read - please correct me if wrong). In this case, even having the vaccine, you still can get it and spread it just as easily. I've also read and my understanding is that wearing a mask is more so for the other people around you so that you don't give them Covid-19, not to necessarily prevent you from getting it.

If my understanding and assumptions above are correct, how can vaccinated people go around and be safe not wearing masks if they can still get it and still spread it to others? Please correct my misunderstandings because my head is spinning.

I definitely want to see things back to normal and prefer not to wear a mask, but will do what is best for those around us and for my family.
