    For the vaccinated. Exactly. This increases the risk for the unvaccinated because vaccinated asymptomatic people or folks with symptoms hardly noticeable are put there carrying virus. The more of them in a room, the higher the viral load.

    No. There are people out there positive who don’t know it because they are vaccinated and don’t get tested. The yankees get tested because baseball tests. When infected people don’t get sick, that shows that the vaccine works.

    Toby Keith is playing down the road soon. I am going so that I can breath in people's faces. Fortunately, I already have my shirt & I carry earplugs on my keychain.

    couple of my close unvaccinated golf buddies tested positive today after being in a two day tournament last weekend.
    as the rest of our Friday group today talked before the round most say they still aren’t getting vaccinated. i just told them to look at the numbers.

    99.98% of deaths in unvaccinated. Not that hard to figure out. Hope none of them are the next poster child for I wish I would have listened. Delta is a different game

    Honest question - what does the conservative/right wing folks recommend should be done about the Covid pandemic and around half the country not vaxed?

    Most would call that a clue.
    For others, here’s your sign

    It seems obvious now Pritch but as much as Ive tried around here a lot of folks are listening to the misinformation and not looking at the numbers. It’s hard to figure the thinking.

    I would get all of the SEC football coaches in the south to do a public service commercial asking for people to get vaccinated so they can have full stadiums this fall. If the number of cases rise too high, restrictions could be put back in place.

    Sadly, this is a good idea.

    What an absolute indictment of the states that make up the SEC. The threat of losing football will motivate them but not the deaths of 600,000 fellow Americans. WTF is wrong with this country?

    I don't know, the policy of anti-vaccination for political gain seems like a self-resolving outcome

    Fun story: the only reason that LSU got the money they needed to finish an academic year a few years back was because the Governor informed people that failing to finish a year would result in the football players being ineligible the next year. Not the thousands that wouldn't graduate and the pure chaos that would cause.

    It is almost as if Republicans around the country are in a race to prove that they are the MOST ignorant jerk-offs in the country, and can "out ignorant" all other Republican challengers....and Governor Deuce-stain is no slouch in the "most ignorant elected official" in this country race.

    There's no reason to pressure or shame fellow Americans anymore than what's been done, most of us have already made our decisions based on our own beliefs and facts.
    Like the flu but more contagious it's going to be here.

    Blame someone else
    Fundraise off of it
    Ignore it and hope it goes away
