Siri, What does "first world problem" mean?

Means I am subjected to your stupid posts.

Where are these Western Sizzlers you guys frequent? The only one near me went out of business about 25 years ago.

I chuckled when I saw it mentioned. I haven't thought of that place in decades.

There are zero in the state of Florida.

In the least surprising development there is one between Valdosta and Tifton GA.

Alabama and Arkansas seem to have the most locations. Also called Western Sizzlin now.

Florida Church Hosts Vaccination Clinic After Multiple Members Die From COVID-19

I guess they realized dead members can't pay tithes.

Love how they focus on one 24 yr old. Give us the ages this is not hard. Everything is categorized as “younger demographic” with no specifics. Saw a doctor in MO go on record and say he’s treating a totally different demographic this time around and almost all of his patients are younger, healthier people, then specified most were in their early 50’s; yes that’s younger than the first go around but that’s not what most people would classify as a “younger demographic” when they hear that term. Me like many go to the 18-35 yr old group and that group is still vastly underrepresented in hospitalizations and deaths. The 18-39 group in AL, AR, FL, LA, MS, MO and NV account for 18% of hospitalizations collectively. 40-59 is 35% and 60 and up Is still 47%. Those are up for the first two from a year ago but that would be expected when the older age brackets are overwhelmingly either vaccinated or dead (not to be insensitive).

Not entirely sure why you are criticizing their ages when a church that is choosing to host a vaccination clinic after six members died from COVID-19 within two weeks and another 15-20 church members were in the hospital with COVID, and 10 others were fighting it from their homes?

I, personally, am not looking forward to our country getting divided any more than it is. But what do I know, I havent been preaching unity.

I thought the government wasn’t doing the search. Yet right there you have a government doing the search… and you promptly deflect away from it

The Jesus Saves sign puts the protest into perspective doesn't it? All the mark of the beast crazies, out in full force.

No not really.

You are pro covid pass?

 

[GVF]

That seems to me an unfairly cynical take -- this same church offered a vaccine clinic in March with over 800 takers.

Do you understand the difference between AIDS and Covid and how they are transmitted????

I mean, maybe your own experience at Sizzler is different than my own.

Covid is transmitted by the Top, AIDS by the Bottom ?? I think Sizzler is irrelevant.

 

[lawgator1]

Depends on what for. Context matters.

Go into a grocery? No, as long as you wear a mask. Work in an ICU? Yes.

You extrapolated "all of the mark of the beast crazies" from one Jesus Saves sign?

The sentiment "Jesus saves" is an indicator of craziness? If so, go ahead and mark me down as "crazy."

The success of our mitigation efforts depends upon a great majority buying into them and cooperating with them. Associating these efforts with extraneous cultural, political, or religious commitments serves only to alienate from the effort people who might otherwise be persuaded to cooperate.

Jesus saves.

Apparently Oklahoma has to put the federal benefits back into play according to a court ruling

The Chattanooga mayor said we need to be very cautious because this disease is going to kill our children. The last six deaths here were 1 41-50, 1 51-60, 3 71-80, and 1 81+. Granted these people were someone's child but I don't think that's what he meant.

Also "child" apparently has widely varied definitions state to state, most of us would think under 18 but I think due to ACA or CHIP some states say a "child" can be up to 26. So a 25 year old in the hospital can be reported as a child case depending on geography.

No wonder my newest neighbor just moved here from Oklahoma.

Because it’s another anecdotal, piece with the subliminal message of the need to be vaccinated. “See, 6 unvaccinated died, 15 more in the hospital…in Florida”. The constant driving home of people dying and being hospitalized while unvaccinated is pointless, without including who it is dying from it. If it’s overwhelmingly the same age category and/or pre-existing conditions that it’s always been then these journalists aren’t telling us anything we don’t know and the 22 yr olds running around the bar unmasked/unvaxed is still irrelevant.

Government is not doing the search. Plus, even if there were a search by the government, it just has to be "reasonable" under the 4th Amendment (no "unreasonable" search and seizures allowed).

If .gov is requiring vaccine passports for services it is the .gov doing the search.

 

[hog88]

No one's forcing you to get vaccinated. But don't expect Western Sizzler to have to let you dine in either.

I have no problem with a private business making the decision to require proof of vaccination. I have huge problems with the .gov forcing private business to do so.
