Gotta go for those "independent" votes.
They're dropping mask mandates in CT schools after Feb 28th, with less than half of 5-11 fully vaccinated (no vaccine mandates either), no antivirals readily available, and no word on long COVID and its impact.
Some states have had shortages of teachers so severe they've asked parents to sub and dropped hiring requirements to having a high school diploma.
School districts ask parents to be substitute teachers as Omicron spreads

This country, man...
I wish I shared your optimism. We aren't even down to PEAK Delta numbers yet!
Oh damn, I'm guessing public compliance with most COVID precautions aren't ideal in Houston? Does his school require masks, at least?
The only problem I see is that for most governments lifting mask mandates seems to be done at the same time as removing the need for vaccine passports - which is stupid. As I’ve said before the unvaccinated should have different rules and I’m all in for restricting mass events etc to the vaccinated.
I believe with Canada, some people are just pissed with the lockdown overall. They've had some of the strictest lockdown rules I've seen than most other countries. And when they see how their neighbors(US)are able to move about, they decided to kick it up.

My uncle for Paxlovid like the day I wrote this
Took it, said his symptoms didn't progress past a cough, body aches, and sore throat. Got a little worse but nothing he couldn't manage. Said he only has a lingering cough now.
But he tested negative on a PCR taken last week
I talked to a dude this past weekend on Skype. Mans was just wearing some tighty whiteys, watching the Pro Bowl, eating some takeout chicken vindaloo out the containers
My aunt comes back from Florida his week, so mans is living it up until then
He told me that even though he hates big Pharma, between the vaccines, Paxlovid, and Viagra, he got nothing but love in his heart for Pfizer. They have been holding him down for decades now.
Which I found hilarious, then I realized he was alluding to having sex with my aunt, so then I was "ewww".
Either way, thank the universe for modern medicine
Is the idea that the unvaccinated should live by different rules based on the possible continuous mutation of the virus and the unknown outcomes of the mutations?
I can’t speak for him, but to me the rules should be designed to incentivize vaccination that clearly leads to lower burden of hospitalization and all associated societal costs that come with uncontrolled spread of dangerous disease. Vaccines also reduce transmission, which means less chances for mutation.
