ok, thanks for honest feedback. Anyone else? I think it's best that I just wear a mask and stop forgetting to wear one. I see the issue clearly now and I will be my best to do better. We as a family will wear a mask and obey our leaders. Problem solved.

There were leaders during covid? All I saw were a bunch of lying cowards.
Here is a good article on what the rules effective tomorrow mean.

I thought this guy has a novel concept, I'm going to make him an honorary member of "Team Virus":
As Californians enter a largely mask-free era, the vaccinated should feel more comfortable about being protected against the coronavirus, but there are still likely to be clashes over the wearing of facial coverings, suspects Dr. Davey Smith, UC San Diego’s chief of infectious disease research.
“If you’re vaccinated, an unvaccinated person doesn’t present a big threat to you and it’s always been that way,” Smith said. “I only worry about people getting into arguments at Starbucks about someone not wearing a mask.
We’re coming to a time where we need to have self-policing as opposed to others policing. I’ll take care of myself and not worry about others out there.”
It sounds like he is advising Dad4 to stay out of Starbucks.
Vaxxed or masked? What you need to know to navigate San Diego’s reopening

This made my day Watfy. Seriously, I will wear my mask now all the time with pride and all you vaxers like dad can look down on me some more....lol! Kicking and screaming and I will see eye to eye and give fist pump to each other. I will wear my mask with pride. If anyone gives me crap at Starbucks, they will get some back from me. In fact, I'm going to laminate this quote from Doc. WTF, right? At the end of the day I dont think it's asking me too much to wear a mask and stay away from those who have no mask. All I ask is you better stay away from me, thank youHere is a good article on what the rules effective tomorrow mean.

Seasonal variation in SARS-CoV-2 transmission in temperate climates
While seasonal variation has a known influence on the transmission of several respiratory viral infections, its role in SARS-CoV-2 transmission remains unclear. As previous analyses have not accounted for the implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in the first year of the...

5. Conclusion
Failing to account for seasonality may lead to grave policy errors or Panglossian outlooks. For instance, a reduction in transmission over the summer may be misinterpreted as the result of herd immunity [30], and so lead to inadequate preparation for a resurgence during the colder months. Overestimating the role of environmental factors may be equally perilous if policymakers anticipate a greater reduction due to seasonality than will actually occur.
They had to write a whole paper for that?

Not really a Starbucks fan, anyway. I can brew my own coffee.
The math checks out, but only because of this --
The noise term Nt,l then varies with the model, e.g. a log-normal multiplicative factor in Brauner et al. [20] and a random walkbased multiplicative factor in Sharma et al. [21]. Mechanistically, the noise term can be intuitively thought of as a random effect that accounts for residual variation not captured by the NPI effects.
If you think about it, we are all making exactly that mistake right now.
It's summer. Transmission is down. It must be time to declare it all is over. And we are.
I don't think the paper will change many minds, but I can't say the paper was not needed.
The paper was not needed, other than that concluding paragraph. In a way, it reminds me of Sokal's prank paper on Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity, which actually got published in a professional journal 25 years ago.
Me, too, and less than 10 cents a cup (or 30 cents if I use the Starbucks ground coffee).

A single paper is suppose to change the faulty use of the PCR test? Eloquent fools you are.

Well, one of the worst hysterics is publishing a book.
It's Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response, by Andy Slavitt, former Biden COVID adviser.
You can tell from the title: it'll be the usual, predictable nonsense.
If only we hadn't been "selfish," and if only our leaders had done X or Y, blah blah blah.
Andy, we did do X and Y. The signs of the wreckage are everywhere.
These people live in a dream world where we implemented the principles of the Great Barrington Declaration. No, Andy, we did what you wanted. The closed businesses, the despair, the ruined lives -- the evidence is all around you.
There is zero correlation between lockdown stringency and health outcomes anywhere.
But here's some correlation for you: not one country with less than 40 percent of its people overweight had a problem with COVID. Not one.
Every single such country had a death rate lower than 10 in 100,000.
There isn't a lot that the state can do about that, so politicians rarely even bother pointing it out. All the plexiglass barriers in the world, and all the pretending that walking to your table in a restaurant without a mask is going to give someone COVID, can't overcome that.
And remember, when Andy was asked point-blank on MSNBC about why places that ignored his advice were doing no worse than those who were ruining people's lives by following it to the letter, he had no answer.
I'm not exaggerating. He could not explain why his advice made no difference at all.
The entirety of his answer was: "Look, there's so much of this virus that we think we understand, that we think we can predict, that's just a little bit beyond our explanation."
And this guy thinks he's in a position to write a book lecturing all of us about everything we did wrong.
I'm waiting for the Scott Atlas book. That one will tell us what we need to know about what really went on, and the arbitrariness of the "guidance" we were given. (Really, how can any thinking person not snicker at the phrase "CDC guidance" at this point?) And yes, such a book is coming, as Stanford's Jay Bhattacharya told me on the Tom Woods Show.

Local paper I wont name in LA basically said it's people like me who refuse to obey the new rules to take the DNA modified drug is why tomorrow is so confusing for 90% of business owners. Disneyland is doing "an honors system." My son went to Magic Mountain and said it was hard core rule enforcers. If you get caught once with mask below nose or off, you got one warning. Next time, you get booted from the 3 hour line. My son said it was fun but not fun having to wear a mask and I would hate it.
