I was out and about today for work, I saw hundreds of people, and two masks. Rural Indiana largely ignored mandates, with the smaller cities mostly playing along, barely half-heartedly.
Since election time however, most everybody's been done with it. Like other places, people are tired and want normalcy. With the idiots in charge, and rhinos being outed everywhere, even fewer people have patience like before.
It's been beautiful, mid-70s, and not many people care about masks.
For myself, I talked my mother out of getting the vaccine with evidence from everywhere. My dad still wants it, but he will come around eventually.
They're flying this month for the first time in over a year, both retired. Nervous about getting covid-19, they still haven't got it, it's understandable, they're old. :-)
I hope that every state that has done away with the mask mandate follows up with a ban on the vaccine passport. The two really need to go hand-in-hand. If a governor feels it's safe enough to go without a mask, then it must be safe enough for people elect to get a vaccine...or not. Still waiting on Kemp to declare a ban on the vaccine mandate/passport, but with recent cancel culture backlash over the voter ID law, he may feel a little gun shy to further rock the boat.
The vaccine needs to be banned. Not just passports.
Agree, I just read today on "telegram" that now they are saying the vaccine will only "last" 6 months. LOL if true, why bother?
...But think of the shareholders! ?
