Alabama is scheduling their football ticket sales for next fall under the assumption that the stadium will be filled to capacity.

That was in Cuomo's daily update last night. I bookmarked the signup page.

Great to see. Again, one is welcome not to opt for the vaccine and stay the fvck home.

And increasingly colleges are making the vaccine mandatory:

Again, what about the people who cannot take the vaccine?

There is always going to be a certain % of people that will not be able to do anything they want.

Amusement park - I want to go on the ride, but I am below a certain height - I cannot go.

Want to buy alcohol - I am below a certain age, so cannot.

I want to drive a car, but I cannot see very well - I cannot get a license.

I Want to go to a restaurant that requires I have a vaccine, but I cannot get one - I cannot go to that restaurant.

In a perfect world, we would be able to have everybody do everything.

Unfortunately, the world is not perfect.

Don't forget the ADA

Everyone must have access

But if there are safety issues, like in the examples I gave above, then it does not apply.

I think it is possible that not having a COVID vaccine is a safety issues, not a disability issue.

[Copper]

The people with the vaccine are safe.

Yes, I know it comes with the admonition that it is not perfect.

But if the vaccine doesn't protect the carrier then the passport means nothing anyway.

You make a good point Copper, but sometimes the good of society comes in front of the individual.

And, sometimes when you go deeper, the individual does have an impact on society.

for example: seat belt for cars or helmets for motorcycles. Someone could say that, "it is my choice. If I want to take a chance, I should be able to." However, if you do not wear a seat belt or helmet and are in an accident, it is more likely your injury will be worse. There fore, you will have more expenses at the hospital, which ultimately will be passed along to society as a whole.

[Copper]

The passport doesn't protect anyone, the vaccine does.

[Loki]

You don’t have to get the vaccine. The vaccine gets you around in an otherwise closed economy. Those who don’t want the vaccine don’t care about the economy.

It’s that simple. If you don’t give a fvck stay the fvck away.

Until we get to herd immunity it’s always about Covid impacting our lives and politicians and media talking about it. Just get it in our past.

It’s too bad people don’t follow the science.

Too bad cigarettes went away, they were such a great performance enhancer

I guess there was a downside too
