at least football is outdoors.

We can choose to reduce risk, if not eliminate risk. Lots of things we do is by choice. Not necessity. But my lifestyle is fairly simple. I don’t need much nor do I have much of a need to be served or entertained. Anyway….we will get through it.

We can’t eliminate risk and live life really. But reduce, mitigate and manage for sure.

Exactly. I don’t need to sit around a bar eating and drinking or being served “inside” a restaurant. Those are luxuries.

This is not going to help messaging for booster shots.

People with both COVID-19 shots are fully vaccinated without booster, surgeon general says

https://news.yahoo.com/people-both-covi ... soc_trk=ma

I don’t read that as problematic. He said they are considered fully vaccinated. How many folks who went out by mid summer and got vaccinated are untrusting such that they’d read a problem into what he said. Which included comments on “based on the trajectory we believe a booster will ultimately be needed...”. I read this more as confirmation that the booster isn’t considered officially part of the vaccination. If anything a message to the unvaccinated community that “were not going to string you along forever with boosters and we still think the primary shots are sufficient in our official govt view”. He also specifically references Moderna I believe but not J&J or Pfizer (I have Pfizer)

I got my two Pfizer shots last in early May so I’m not even thinking about this really until Q4 personally.

I have never used those services. I call ahead and pick up. I do eat outside at a restaurant now that I am fully vaccinated but even now I am starting to re-think it until cases start to fall off and / or I get boosted.

We’re going to have a dozen kids over on Sunday for my sons birthday party. We’ve asked them to mask inside for the science part of the party and they get tested daily at school.

I’ve also had to take probably 20 flights in the last 15-18mo for business...

Mask inside and keep the windows open. It should be fine.

GOP Leader Who Fought Against Vaccine Dies After Weeks-Long Battle With Coronavirus


Pressley Stutts, a Republican leader in South Carolina, shared conspiracy theories from his ICU bed.

Pressley Stutts, a Republican leader in South Carolina who fought COVID-19 vaccination efforts, died on Thursday of the coronavirus after a weekslong battle, including six days spent on a ventilator, The Greenville News reported.

Stutts, a 64-year-old veteran, frequently shared conspiracy theories about the virus, the vaccines and the 2020 election on Facebook, including in posts made from his ICU bed.

.....................

Stutts also praised a state effort to strip funding from schools that imposed mask mandates or testing requirements, and was angry about $10 gift card incentives for vaccination, writing to his 5,000 followers: “Do not sell your body nor your soul no matter the asking price.”

In July, Stutts shared a Facebook post dismissing the delta variant, which was likely the one that ended his life.

On Aug. 1 ― the day he went into the ICU ― Stutts insisted he had “always contended that COVID was very real” and called it “a deadly bio-weapon perpetrated upon the people of the world by enemies foreign, and perhaps domestic.”......................................................

Sad lesson learned the hard way.

Wife received notice this AM that one of her patients (unvaccinated 10 year old) she had very close recent contact with tested + for DELTA. Her healthcare employer is not requiring quarantine or testing, just pay attention for possible symptoms. Obviously wife is vaccinated; in early February.

Sounds like he still didn't learn any lessons...went to his veritable death-bed spouting nonsense.

We can always have our disagreements in political matters. Whatever the case I certainly do not want to see anyone get hurt. It is very sad that someone like him needlessly lost his life because of the endless array of lies posted by the far right throughout the media and internet. Let's hope those who are similarly persuaded up to now will see the light and come to their senses. Their lives (and those of the rest of the rest of us) will be far better for it.
