    So after reading this, am I to believe that we're not going back to our season seats yet, and have to buy single game tickets again for a shit price? Garbage.

    That doesn't sound nearly as edgy.

    If you're screaming you should probably have it on. Your spit and germs would fly everywhere if you don't.

    I'm just going to have scream louder through my mask. If there is such a thing as me screaming louder during games than I already do.

    Yes.

    Just because people are vaccinated doesn't mean they can't get it, especially this new Delta Variant. Kids under 12 aren't vaccinated and are more vulnerable. People with 72 hour negative tests don't mean they didn't get it between then.

    So yeah, it's very possible it can be spreadable games.

    Also, in a packed arena with everyone yelling..
    You know how much spit and germs are flying around that place?

    This is a thread regarding the Blazers. It is an appropriate thread for the main forum. For the time being it will stay.

    but see this is where, and ive said as much in the past, dont trust any media anymore?

    whos to say the numbers arent inflated and or fictictious to provide a media scare the opposite direction?

    This is ahere i feel im trying to maintain a view from both sides and soooo many are not. They are sold one way or another.
    I refuse to believe the right are the only conniving ones like that. Sorry. The left are fully capable as well. Which hits the foundation.
    Because its become political, i do not feel safe believing anything anymore.

    Trump and his big ass mouth started the political aspect. I dont want to make this thread political and it went way off track from what its intent was, which was intended to be a thread where we can post informative information and discuss it with regards to the Blazers and games.
    At any rate, im not going to belittle, demean or talk down to anyone regardless of where they stand or the questions they pose or the answers they give.
    To me its sad, i mean it makes me sad to see so many intelligent people resort to childish insults over others not agreeing with them over this considering all the misinformation etc that has gone on.

    how can everyone not understand how utterly confusing this has all been and show just a bit more leniency towards those we don't see eye to eye with on this?

    yeah platy filled me in on kids under 12 not being vaccinated as well.
    Sucks. Now all families have to go get tests to take their kids to a game.

    And many of us will fully support businesses who ban unvaxxed people.

    My point was simply that the constitution isn't a factor. Businesses shouldn't be forced to put their employees at increased risk.

    I struggle to show leniency when I see people like politicians and preachers saying to not get a vaccine, not wear a mask. See it get politicized, and then to see innocent people die because of those idiots.
    Not everything has to have a both sides have a point, let's all sit and think everyone's opinions are equally valid.
    I can't remember the football player now, but there was an NFL player who was opposed to his team bringing in scientists to talk to the team about the vaccine, didn't feel it was right. But when asked whether he was getting the vaccine, said he needed more information. That's the sort of bullshit that pisses me off. They're bringing in people that went to school for many years studying this stuff to talk to you and give you that more information. Where else is he planning on getting it? Fuck that guy. That's what I was referring to in the refusal by way of "asking questions"
    People don't trust scientists, but you're blaming it on the media. The science is there. People should stop listening to entertainers masquerading as the news.

    Thing is most of those employees would tKe the risk themselves. I can provide a couple of types of evidence. First. I know first hand the only reason why my company enforces it is because we can get shut down if not.
    Second i see many many many companies not enforcing it…even today.

    using employers not wanting to put employees at risk is a cop out. The real reason its enforced when it is, is most companies cant afford to have a forced shut down imposed by the state.

    They're not useless but they have produced false negatives and false positives for the quick tests..the only really accurate tests take a couple days to process. you could not be infected...get tested and get infected before your results came back ...

    so go after the ex pres then. You just said it. Innocent people.
    Thats where im surprised there isnt leniency. If know they are innocent show a bit of empathy? Leniency? Help educate, not ridicule?

    i ask this in general. Not you personally per say.

    Innocent people that are more willing to listen to a preacher who says god will save them, they don't need a vaccine. How exactly do you educate those people? Information is readily available, people choose where they educate themselves. Some make stupid choices

    Businesses are only enforcing masks to avoid being shut down. Has little to do with employee health concerns.
