Actually, I know for a fact that any curfew our idiot leaders dare put in place will be enforced against locals only while tourists will be able to still do whatever the gently caress they want. Actually curfewing tourists is killing the golden goose that can never be killed again.

It's always been the case the the needs of tourists have been prioritized above residents here, but a double standard in curfew enforcement would not be taken very well. That's why I don't think it has a chance of ever happening, we will let our entire medical system collapse first.

even if they did a lockdown right now our medical system would collapse so we’re deciding how many deaths after and caused by the collapse we are willing to accept. well, I don’t think anyone realizes that is what we are doing, but it is.

You're right. We passed the point of being completely hosed about a month ago. Glad people could make money from tourism again for a few months eh?

it’s funny because pretty much the only tourist places that opened back up are huge national or international chains that ship all their profits out of state so really we threw away everything we worked and suffered to achieve so that some faceless stockholders and oligarchs could have a little bit more money.

My sister in law got married about a month ago and we have been ostracized for not coming (my wife had been matron of honor). If that 150 person Pittsburgh wedding wasn’t enough, just found out they just got back from a week long honeymoon on a cruise.

If they don’t see any consequences yet again I don’t know. Why are we torturing ourselves. Is covid even real. The world is a gently caress

Nonpharmaceutical Intervention. Stuff like wearing a properly fitted mask, social distancing, using contact tracing apps (a measure for your community more than yourself), two-week traveler quarantines, and other things that are part of staying safe in the apocalypse.

i know an individual, vaccinated early on due to being a health care worker (moderna fwiw), who tested positive on 3 consecutive antigen rapid tests last thursday. on friday they got a pcr test and received results 48 hours later - negative. they took a "pcr equivalent" test afterward which was also negative, but a 4th antigen rapid test was positive.

So from what I’ve gleaned. You have unvaccinated kids. Your wife has not cared at all about quarantining or protecting the kids or you. You read all of the information in this thread. But you haven’t changed much at all in the way of your normal behaviors. Is this wrong? The biggest conflict I remember was you had a pool party and locked yourself inside or something but the kids and wife were mingling with all the friends and fam?

Not calling you out to be rude. You just really give me this sense of whiplash when I read your posts. I don’t understand you.

The only thing I take issue with is giving advice recommending people put kids in school for social interaction when you aren’t protecting yours.
