What's this?

I respect those who are more isolated. Everyone has choices ...

to the degree that the government will let us. But to relate going to a restaurant to playing roulette with a handgun is complete nonsense. Restaurants are extremely careful - they have to be or what little business they have left will dry up instantly. I wear a mask, I wash my hands, and I keep my distance from folks. I have also not (to my knowledge) had COVID.

Those that are vulnerable should stay home. Those that aren't are free to make choices - it is a shame that only one side of that decision gets any respect.

Might be true for natural immunity, jury is out on vaccine induced immunity ** -- fsghokie 12/21/2020 3:09PM

So, everyone will need to get revaccinated every 3 months. Yikes! -- Tank 12/21/2020 2:07PM

Not true from what I've read, the answer is currently not known because -- HortHokie 12/21/2020 2:07PM

Exactly. Trials for current vaccine started 7/27. Upper bound not yet known -- Burke Hokie 12/21/2020 2:15PM

One of the challenges they face is keeping the studies going for that long. -- Hokie360 12/21/2020 3:23PM

You realize you can do that now right? -- vt90 12/21/2020 12:46PM

You can also play roulette with a handgun -- WestyHokie 12/21/2020 1:07PM

If the handgun has a couple hundred thousand empty chambers for each bullet ** -- Vienna_Hokie 12/21/2020 2:01PM

Exactly. One reason why it’s spreading. People “have to eat IN the store” ** -- VaPoly07 12/21/2020 1:59PM

Barely a blip on the infection causes -- Vienna_Hokie 12/21/2020 3:05PM
