Covid-19

[Strange Brew]

Not at all, even if you took it that way. Should a dog with kennel cough be allowed to board with your dog? Should a kid with [fill in the communicable disease here] be allowed to sit at a desk next to your kid in school. There IS a line. Where you set it is the fuzzy part and is going to vary from person to person. Ultimately somebody has to make the decision. It’s most often the institution (be it school, business, kennel, etc) I think, but I’m sure there are cases where a government entity makes sense. And I’m a “less government, stay out of my business” kinda guy!

You could easily argue that seatbelt laws are an invasion of your right to choose and an invasion of your privacy. I would get that argument, but I still don’t mind the law. Sometimes people need to be protected from themselves. Someone is going to have to draw some lines....somewhere. We can all argue from case to case. Laws exist for a reason.

The kid can sit wherever they would like if my kid is (they are) vaccinated. My kids won’t catch the disease they been vaccinated against.

PLEASE tell us you wore pants!

There were a number of people doing the JP thing...I do remember that.

Did you start with shirt and shoes and just lose them after a few herschels?

I don't remember that.

Apparently that is most likely true. For Covid, at least.

So, the school can recommend the kids get vaccinated but if they don’t the only ones most likely affected are the kids of parents who opted out? No threat to the greater good there right?

I don’t claim to have an answer that will make everyone happy, but I’m interested in hearing YOUR suggestions. So far all you have done is question everything. What is the answer? Questions are easy, answers are more difficult. So, what you got?

It seems like “greater good” might have triggered some people, but I believe there is such a thing. See the speeding analogy above. A few don’t have the right to jeopardize the rest of us with reckless behavior. Not sure why that is such a difficult issue.

Well the good news is that by the end of the month, 35% of the US population will be vaccinated. Heard immunity should start around 30%. By the end of May we should be close to 45% - 50%.

It seems they have the shots flowing well! My niece skipped her first appointment. She normally travels the world, but is afraid of needles! She got the shot on her second try because they have a trip planned and hopes it will come off. She’s also a teacher, so I’d want the shot just for that reason.

Businesses, schools and residences can choose to require a mask and individuals can choose to do business, attend the school or find a new apartment. No gov’t mandates.

No one can require a vaccine to conduct business, work or own/rent property. That, is discriminatory unless you want to revisit an my body/my choice questions in society. I don’t.

Are public schools not an extension of the government? I’m not talking just Covid, but vaccines in general.

I looked into taking some classes at a nearby public University for fun before Covid. I needed high school and college transcripts, and proof of vaccination. I don’t even know how I could do that at this point.

I bet most people couldn’t provide proof of vaccination unless you’re under 25 and your pediatrician is still practicing.
