OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

I'm afraid I might stutter when i drive through tunnels now though?

 

Another person who has no clue what HIPAA is.

 

Weekend Update: CDC Lifts Mask Mandate.



This is a good one.

 

No More Masks Cold Open.

 

I got no reactions other than a slightly sore arm after the second shot. My wife, however, got very sick after her second shot which lasted for almost a week.

The CDC was too cautious about what vaccinated people can do, doctors say. Now pendulum has swung in the opposite direction

Coronavirus vaccines may not work in some people. It’s because of their underlying conditions.

Early research shows that 15 to 80 percent of people with certain medical conditions, such as specific blood cancers or organ transplants, are generating few antibodies after receiving coronavirus vaccines.

So these are the new new rules? Or just the new rules?

 

Those are the this week's new rules but more new rules will come next week.

 

Yep. The numbers change every week. Our response is based on those numbers.

 

Fewer rules aren't "new" rules. It's just fewer...

Complaining about rules then complaining about fewer rules makes it seem like you're just complaining for the sake of complaining...

 

I was the first one to say "new rules" so I guess I should have specified what my complaint was really about and that was the poor communication that has come from the governors office these past couple weeks. I only used "new rules" because that was in the title of the OPB article I linked. That's all.

 

I don't think saying "new rules" is a problem. Complaining about restrictions for a year, then complaining about restrictions being relaxed as numbers are dropping seems less than productive.

 

K. Just wanted to clarify my position. I'm getting my second vaccine dose this afternoon, so I'm all about having less restrictions!
