Some people we talk with are still not comfortable eating indoors even though they are fully vaxed.

Convinced a patient and 2 parents to get vaccinated already today! Feeling pretty good ethically right now! Complete lack of raw numbers right in front of your face and you're still trying to vaccinate toddlers 😂😂😂 More likely to die from leukemia than covid. And MVA. And suicide. And and and and....
April 26, 20215 yr Got my first Moderna Saturday. No site pain, tetanus shot was worse. Got home about 2 hours after the shot, took a 3 hour nap. Other than the nap, no side effects at all.

They knew this from the onset when they looked at cruise lines. People that were at the same table were seemingly unaffected, but four tables away were catching it due to airflow.

Yeah. Well the wife and I were trying to get pregnant, and then did. So we were more careful than most I'd say. '

Even the most devote Covid people I know still pretty much cheated whenever they felt like it. Trips to the hair salon, non-essential shopping, dining out. Sure, they'd talk a big game about masks and social distancing, but if they found something they really wanted to do, they wouldn't skip it.

Yeah we just didn't know what risks there were with everything so we we're definitely a different level of cautious than we would have been otherwise. But became less hermit like as more and more info came out. Now that were both vaccinated though we are back to licking all the shopping carts at Giant and eating off the top of Wawa trash cans.

April 26, 20215 yr It helps being naturally reclusive, but we really pretty much stuck to the guidances. Had a single friend over to visit a few times back in the summer to hang mostly outdoors and a couple of times to watch games and election night, but election night was the last time we had company. We pretty much modeled the shutdowns and self-quarantined through the holidays except for some very limited, local family gatherings. No bars, no indoor dining of any kind. We did outdoor dining a few times during our summer vacation, but mostly just take out otherwise, and we really only did that a handful of times. We've been living well, and it feels good to be so self-sufficient. I've saved so much money just cooking at home, and the food I make is better than about 95% of anything we can get at a restaurant. Just about everyone in our circle is vaccinated now, though, so we figure to be gradually making contact with some folks as we get into the nice weather.

April 26, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, Gannan said: I think it's absurd to act like people don't listen to Trump. He said the election was rigged with zero evidence, and about half the country believed him. Did they? Or is that your interpretation?
April 26, 20215 yr 7 minutes ago, sameaglesfan said: Did they? Or is that your interpretation? I don't know about half the country but polling bears out that a vast majority of the Republican Party believed him. And aside from polling, anecdotal evidence backs it as well as the fact that a huge number of Republicans protested the election and thousands of them, you know, broke into the Capital building to kill the Vice President.
April 26, 20215 yr 5 minutes ago, sameaglesfan said: Did they? Or is that your interpretation? Polling suggests a significant majority of Republican voters believe there was widespread election fraud, despite there being zero evidence for it. There IS evidence for isolated cases of fraud, but those were Republicans passing off fraudulent votes for Trump at least here in PA. "Half the country" is probably overstating it, considering less than half voted for Trump*, and that based on polling somewhere around 2/3 to 3/4 of Republicans believe there was widespread fraud. So we'll call it 1/3 of the nation "believed" Trump, based on that. *
April 26, 20215 yr We haven't gone out a whole lot, but I'd be lying if I said we've never broken the rules. We've had my parents and the wife's parents over, took the kids out for Trick-or-Treating, gathered at Christmas/Easter, had a few nights out with friends, gone out for dinner, etc. It obviously hasn't been as frequent as pre-Covid, but we haven't shut ourselves out of society either. It helps to live in an area where the caseload is low so we assess the risks and go from there.
