‘And just how are they going to know without asking for a passport, papers, or branding them on the forehead?’
that’s the real issue here in a nutshell, is it not...? how indeed are the sheeple going to know if I’m vaccinated or not as I saunter maskless toward them on a sidewalk...?
someone suggested a neon colored plastic wristbands like the ones issued at outdoor fairs indicating you’re old enough to drink booze that can only be had a vaccinating site...’minimal muss and fuss for everybody...’ he said to me; but, I just don’t know...
Does Nanzi Pelosi know about the hair salon rule?!?

Thank you, massa...but I am still going to do my best to primary your *ss out of office next year.
Everyone can unmask outdoors, vacinnated or not, because there is statistically about a zero probability of transmitting an airborne virus outdoors.
You may want to review the Nurimberg code and send them a copy. Postage stamps are more economical than Lawyers
My dog ate my vaccination record.
According to the literature published by the vaccine makers these so-called vaccines do not stop the transmission of the virus at best all they do is reduce symptoms. And then you have the downside of totally unknown side effects.
Take back your liberties, don’t wear a mask.
We're still talking about masks, right!)
‘The data from Israel shows that vaccination blocks 94% of asymptomatic infections and 97% of symptomatic infections.’
the salient issue in this particular thread deals with the concept of needing masks while being out of doors; it is my firm belief that it would be very difficult for a virus to acheive significant spread when exposed to sunlight and wind...
the diddling by the medical community (you know, the people who are supposed to issue guidance during a health crisis) on something as obvious as this, has led to some unfortunate social interactions that were completely avoidable; there are going to be some hard feelings that will last a long time after these masks are history...
Dear CDC,
Not sure what planet you’ve been living on, but when I do afternoon dog walks I have never worn a mask...ever.
The CDC can come and arrest me. I’m not wearing a mask outside. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
‘That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.’
it’s beyond just being dumb; Tucker Carlson is right, people wearing them and expecting others to do so need to be ridiculed in no uncertain terms...likewise people veering out into the street to avoid walking near me, as if I were some leper straight out of the Bible, need to be called out as well...
I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience with people who aren’t up to date on the science. In truth, the science has demonstrated strongly since at least May of 2020 that outdoor transmission is extremely unlikely and rare, regardless of masks.
I think - as I have from the early days of this - that people wearing a mask while indoors in a public place reduces the risk of transmission. This is based on a lot of research done into how transmissions actually happen in the real world. However, outdoors it just doesn’t spread effectively. I think the wind - more than anything - creates an environment that is extremely unhelpful to the virus. Sunlight may also play a role, but I wouldn’t be any more concerned about being outside near other people after sunset than I would at noon. As long as you aren’t right on top of one another, the risk of transmission is virtually nil.
CDC would have a lot more credibility if they’d come out and said this much earlier. The data was there to support it, but it took them this long to own up to that. The same can be said for fomites. Again, we had plenty of data going back into June 2020 saying fomites didn’t ever seem to be the source of transmission in any widespread study of transmission metrics for real world case investigations. Further, direct experimentation showed that although the virus was present on surfaces, it never seemed to actually infect cells when transferred to a medium where it had the opportunity. Being on a surface outside the body appears to deactivate the virus in some way. We’ve known this for a long time, but it was only recently that the CDC updated their guidance to reflect that.
So just this morning I was at a large grocery store.
Quit using a mask when I’d passed the two weeks after second dose threshold but use a plastic face shield ONLY in the store to keep the peace (and avoid being banned).
But the moment I hit the lobby on the way out, off it comes.
So...this morning...as I go to my car (the only one in the parking lot!) as car driven by a masked Karan (of course!) parks catecorner from mine. The whole parking lot was open, but she HAD to park there.
Karan sat in her car masked up while I loaded my groceries, returned the cart, and got into my car.
ONLY after I had driven 50 feet away did she dare to exit her vehicle.
There is paranoid, and then there is hyper diaper wiper paranoid.
Taking the grandkids for their field trip at Knott's Berry Farm and am wondering if it will be full of masked zombies. I am SO over this.
SMALL OUTDOOR GATHERINGS
The agency said fully-vaccinated Americans can safely dine outdoors with friends from multiple households at restaurants and attend small outdoor gatherings with a mixture of fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
We have been doing this 2 weeks after our second Pfizer shots.
More zero/mask events/occasions have been and are being scheduled.
Is this the same CDC that once said masks don’t work against COVID?
We had something similar happen yesterday, as we came out and then unmasked from our weekly grocery shopping.
We walked about 75 yards in the parking lot to our parked vehicle. The sun was shining and the wind was 10-15 mph.
A masked idiot in a parked pickup with the windows rolled up, about 40-50’ upwind from us, started his pickup and drove further away to park another 100’ away from us.
I deliberately drove out the exit by his pickup. As we drove by I honked the horn, my wife rolled down her window and waved at him. He looked terrified and hostile at the same time. He glared at us and turned away.
My wife joked, that he probably drove directly to the big auto wash place about a mile away to get rid our evil viruses on the exterior of his pickup.
