Vaccine

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's who called GraceT that name in a post and Husker replied with a laughing emoji. If I'm wrong I will admit to it. But I'm fairly certain about it, although I identify as a 35 year old and act like an 18 year old, my memory might be that of a 75 year old.
Imagine that, one of the woke warriors laughing at women being called the "c" word. The "woke" wouldn't even claim him. It's just a convenient platform for a shallow thinking misanthrope to use as an excuse for his/her/they anger.
 
Speaking of @Grace T. , any idea where she has been?
A while back she basically stated this thread had become irrelevant due to COVID being over. She has posted her a few times since then, but not as regularly and not very recently. I saw she posted in the "non-rabbit hole" threads a few times more recently. I attempt to observe a limit of one rabbit hole thread at a time. When this one "ends", I may just make it zero.

I've been on vacay but have been pretty much done with this thread for a month or so. The COVID emergency is over since that SNL skit and barring a super new variant it's going to play out in a way that makes no one happy. Team reason essentially won most of the argument.

Mexico opened my eyes as to how this is playing out...lot's of security theatre there: masks, still scrubbing down, temp checks, but everyone pretty much thinks the regs are stupid and don't do anything. It's like the TSA. Lots of the infrastructure like distancing markers remains in place and some is actually permanent because they just assume the govt will bring back regulations the next time a killer flu surfaces.

Essentially in the immediate future no one is going to be happy. We aren't going to be doing hard core containment measures or mass vaccination mandates. The offices won't be going back to 100 percent capacity any time soon (too much competition from remote friendly employers....which means Manhattan in particular is in for a world of hurt). Mask mandates will pop up in blue cities from time to time if cases rise. They'll be stupid nonsensical rules like toddlers masking while adults can cram NY restaurants. 10 percent or so of the population will remain fearful and the media will periodically pump up a panic. Eventually things will fizzle back to "normal" but it's going to take quite a bit of time to ease back. How quickly in turn depends on the elections at the end of the year

Saying "the emergency is over" ignores the hard fact that the current weekly count of new cases is just about where it was 2 years ago.

I took 30 days off and it was really good for me. It's super addicting and I love the banter back and forth. I can't wait to see some of these avatars eat some crow and maybe a few will have some humbie pie and admit how off they have been on everything the last 6 years. Our poor country is so divided. It trips me out. I bet $100 you and I could meet up for a bro date and get along and laugh all this off with some shots and some other drinks? Is that true or not bro?

Hi Grace T. I missed you. According to a Retired General I know, their will be a new virus that will scare the crap out of the people before the mid-terms. The looks of the beat down is so bad they will find a way not to have any election. The voice of reason ((the truth)) will always win. I love you always :)
 
Are you denying that when someone called GraceT that name that you responded with a laughing emoji?
As far as I know I never saw that post. I don’t agree with Grace but would never condone that kind of language. I do speed read most posts so if I put a “laugh” emoji on that post that was grievous error and apologize to Grace profusely.
I have told posters on “my side of the aisle” (or should that be isle in this partitioned off enclave?) when I thought they went too far and have NEVER seen that from anyone on your end of things. Just say’n.

I forgive you Husker. Please forgive me if I speed read past some of your posts. We battled and did some back and forth bullying and that was wrong. I "laugh" all the time. Let's be better so we can build a better America for our kids and grand kids. I love you and forgive you, ok. Let's forgive each other and strive for a better State and country. America First, jabbed or not jabbed, agree?
 
Jab News: Maine Sen. Susan Collins tests positive for COVID-19, is experiencing 'mild symptoms'

This is weird. So many Celebs and Politicians told us all to get the jab and now so many are getting Covid. Yes, some Mild, but others not so lucky. Some have to retire early from sports because of bad hearts and blood clots. Some have died :( Some just come down with mild symptoms. I pray for everyone that got the jab. I pray for all those who got booster. I pray for those who are thinking of doing all of it. I also pray for those who had the courage under loss of income, loss of scholarship or play time and just being excluded from all that life has to offer us all. I pray for us all, the good, bad and ugly in us all. We need to pray to our higher source and not place blame on either side. I pray for Susan and I hope she get's well soon. I know Adam just came down with Covid as well.
 
I think I got Covid today you guys. I was at the beach with my wife and it was hot. I was walking to my car and I'm tired and i have a headache. My body is aching and just have aches. I sure hope I don;t get the runs.......

Saying "the emergency is over" ignores the hard fact that the current weekly count of new cases is just about where it was 2 years ago.

Case counts are still high. More to the point, hospitalizations and deaths are lower but stable.

Still around 500 deaths per day. But most people have run out of energy for efforts to reduce it. If it stays like this, it approximates a permanent bad flu season. Worse than that if we get a spike every winter.
