Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Funny to see yet another variant so quickly. How many is that now? Oh and this new one is so much more contagious?

The fear mongering never stops.

100s of variants. 3 are considered "variants of concern".

Well also remember California has its own variant that apparently just stays within its borders. Science is fascinating.

There's so much ridiculous about this restaurant. I will just shake my head at the claim that servers are washing their hands every time between table visits. Sure sure.

I'm guessing it's like most restaurants where you have to wear one to get in but once at your table you take it off.

I'll never understand that logic

to my earlier point - the VCU situation shows that all teams in the NCAA tourney are tested daily and basically quarantining.

making coaches wear masks during the game except when they want to yell at their team or the refs is ridiculous

Probably. I am just laughing at the claims the owners are making, in an attempt, to sound extra "safe." There is zero chance in hell their servers are washing their hands every time from table to table. It's a laughably absurd claim to make for many reasons.

A politician who reads willingly, you guys hate those lol

Nice.

I will say it again, I am amazed at Florida. In a good way.

I will put TN near the top of rankings in terms of not being total dumbasses with the way covid is handled by their citizens. That said, Florida is at another level. Being down here on vacation, it is like no one gives a damn(yay!). There are no decals on storefront windows even suggesting masks are needed. The restaurants are packed.

Just awesome. I travel in the southeast alot on the weekends, so have various points of reference. NC, KY, and GA kind of blow. Especially NC.

Hamilton county put out 3,600 first dose appointments yesterday morning, lowered the age to 55, and are now including people who work in infrastructure/meat packing, etc. There are still over 500 slots left. In January 3,600 spots would have been gone in 15 minutes. I know lots of people who don't qualify have either already gotten a shot or are going to get shots because they're not asking any questions at the vaccination sites. Mississippi is already (correctly) giving anyone a shot who wants it. We're still wringing our hands about muh special groups being left behind so they're maintaining the political theater of prioritizing them when in reality they want all slots filled and they obviously don't care who they go to. These are the people half our country want running more of their lives.

I also don't understand this. Stand at the hostess station with your mask on, then go to your table and they're all off. Somehow the virus knows you're eating so it hibernates, or maybe all the cheese dip stops it from escaping your body? And there are people lapping this up as good science and caring business owners. But I have no issue with two idiots consenting to a mutually beneficial transaction.

It's about control. Not safety or science.

NC is a bastion of freedom compared to VA. You can sit at the bars in NC! We can't do that here.

We've handled our vaccines far better than Europe. As a result they're seeing huge spikes and we are not. Thank you Mr Trump and God Bless America

Northam is a disaster. I seriously doubt VA goes red again anytime soon. Too much of the fed bureaucracy has invested NoVa.

I have to say, mine has worsened post Covid. At first I thought maybe it was the steroids I was on but no such luck.
