I'm sorry if I sound like one of "those" people who is stopping people from having fun, but there is no way you are going to convince me that the hundreds of thousands of fans gathered for NFL and college football games are all vaxxed and not risking further mutation. I get that it's outside, but again, these people are shoulder to shoulder, maskless, yelling for 2+ hours, going to and from the bathroom, etc. I just really don't understand how the script has flipped so abruptly from "an outside gathering of tens of thousands of people is definitely a super spreader event" to "nahh it's OK because people are outside."
So it seems like we're back to business as usual, and I won't be surprised if we see another mutation. Or who knows, maybe this thing will just fizzle out.
I feel like shit for it, but even I have basically given up. I've gone to concerts, I have plans on going to concerts as well as playing shows with my project. My only hope is most of the people at shows are vaccinated. Covid is endemic now because of our bullshit freedom. I legit can only hail Mary.
The gimmick is there is no singular action you can take. So you dont even have to feel bad.
So your lumpen prole doesn't, and we get dragged along for the ride
hey don't disparage the lumpen proles. the chuds are proles and small business tyrants
No yeah, same here. I'm just kinda surprised because it was only a couple weeks ago I was hearing about how bad delta was going to be, but suddenly it's all good. I really just don't know
Just so many mixed messages
It's plateauing here in my area so idk. As for the mixed messages, pretty much everyone agrees with that. No one knows what is going on. No wonder everyone just decided it's over.
Once COVID was basically signaled to be over back around June, there was really no putting that toothpaste back in the tube.

I for one, blame the media. There is no centralized narrative around the end of the pandemic, in much the same way there was for the war in Iraq. Did it end? When? Or is it still happening in some different form that you dont really have to think about?
My friend went to a concert and they required vaccination status or a negative clvid test like 24 hours prior. I'm sure someone in the crowd might've tried to lie but probably a small minority
