    We put teachers ahead of the most vulnerable group, seniors and some refused to take it and still do. I believe if we require kids k-12 to wear mask than every teacher needs to be vaccinated. Im also for anyone coming across our border or is released from a center be vaccinated. If I want to go over seas Im required to get vaccinated I believe?

    I never thought you despised me that much....I don't think of myself as an entity but.....still...go get your shot...you're confusing world health with political bullshit....political bullshit is not why you need the shot...common sense denial early on in the pandemic is why you need the shot

    I’m completely fine with people choosing their own death. The problem however is it effects EVERYONE when massive amounts are sick. ICUs, schools, work, airplanes, which I’ve already posted ad nauseam. We would like to move on with life but can’t because there is so much Covid going around making people feel like shit and ending up in the hospital. So it’s not all about “well it’s their choice who cares”. It’s “it’s their choice and they are impacting everyone”.

    I have no problem with businesses refusing service to people that aren't vaccinated. I still think we should open everything up though.

    Open everything up, require proof of vaccination or face masks in public with proper consequences for not adhering to this requirement. It is one thing to say open everything - and another not to ensure that the public, at large, is safe because of idiots requiring "freedom" to hurt others.

    Joe Biden now has higher public approval in Florida than Ron DeSantis.

    Just thought I would share here since I live in Florida and there has been a lot of DeathSentence talk here:

    My girlfriend, who I live with in Tallahassee has just been diagnosed with covid19. We both got our vaccines in April. I am getting a test tomorrow, but so far I feel alright. I'm not sure what to make of this info yet, as we literally just found out an hour ago. She has been in bed with flu type symptoms since Monday. Pretty shitty, but it is what it is.

    Hope she feels better soon and that you do not get it.

    Had flu like symptoms last week, was actually feeling rather lousy for a couple of nights, but Covid test came negative which is good. Did she get a proper PCR test or one of them quick tests? Because the quick ones can have more false positive results.

    Hope she starts to feel better soon and you avoid any symptoms. Glad you got vaccinated. My 9 and 12 year olds were positive last week.

    It was a rapid test. The result didn't surprise me though. She really has been in bed feeling quite terrible for a couple of days. I called in to work this week to stay here and take care of her and to make sure I'm not spreading it to my family in Panama City (who I stay with on work days, since I live in Tallahassee and work on the coast). Her highest fever has only been 100.9, so it is still on the mild side, but the covid diagnosis makes a LOT of sense given her symptoms. I'm actually not feeling 100% myself, but could just be psyching myself out. Guess I'll find out tomorrow

    Regardless, wether I test positive or not, I will be quarantined here at home and will take care of my sick future wife until she is better. That will always be the priority over work.

    Let the businesses decide for themselves.

    Not fun. They feel fine. One or two days felt like a cold. Of course impossible to quarantine a 9 year old (or a 12 year old) so the rest of us just hoped for the best. So far so good.

    Good luck. If she is vaccinated evidence is she would only have light symptoms but should probably quarantine. Keep us posted.
