I don't think you'd get your rear end kicked for wearing those in a blue collar town based on how many I see in Norfolk. Anyone bothering with a watch now is wearing a smart watch unless they're a watch guy in some way.

how long do you think before we get through all the people that actually want to get vaccinated?

because that's where the next shitshow will be, we need "herd immunity" but we can't because of all the chuds and karens

money is on early next year

I think it's a toss up if we will get there with all 16+ year olds who want it before pediatric regimens are approved in the fall and that wave of demand will take us through the end of the year

this is not counting the people who want it but do not have ready access. with states saying gently caress it and switching everything to age based eligibility and pharmacy based distribution, we are never going to get to prisons, homeless shelters, migrant workers, etc unless JJ has hosed up the PR so bad institutions that support those groups are the only ones willing to use their shot

lol it really owns that the county guidelines say you don't have to wear a mask if you're in an office alone, and then being asked to go into said offices to fix a printer or some poo poo lmao

I'm pretty much the only guy that did local calls for our center after things started to go to poo poo last year. One of the first times I went to a packed place out of the office was a camp teeming with out of state soldiers doing some training for the cadets. They had like 4 computers hosed up and I had to set up a multifunctional printer/scanner at their HQ. No one was using masks. I was spooked to hell and back.

I told my supervisor, who probably told the director, who then probably went straight to the general. The next time I was there everyone was using masks.

What do you think? In 1a a ton of people figured out ways to categorize themselves as medical consultants to be eligible for that tier. The only thing stopping everyone from doing this poo poo is inability to get through to book appointments

Either you go extra slow and do it by age only (which means undocumented people can't get it) or you just open it up and let people do whatever and get the vaccinations done fast

There's an IT guy ITT who's posted this whole time about being forced to go fix issues in places where he's surrounded by non maskers so I'd say that it makes sense to include them with that type of group.

That'd be me and right now im at home sick and really hoping its a sinus infection instead of covid but i should go get tested since I just had to walk through the loving plague lands for moron non maskers a few days ago.

lmao WA state's vaccine evaluator questionnaire is putting me at like the back of the loving line.

Restaurants may resume normal alcohol sales as licensed by the South Carolina Department of Revenue.

Additionally, South Carolina Department of Commerce approval for events involving more than 250 people will no longer be required.
