We're both Group B in this household. Given that we're both now isolating and waiting on our PCR results (oooooooo maybe we had the withdrawn ones! ), we see the benefit of masking up and taking precautions where necessary. We both work in fully vaccinated offices where we don't wear masks unless dealing with a client/outside vendor. But my coworker volunteers at a homeless shelter -- where she is always masked -- but sometimes the residents there aren't. One of these guys was diagnosed with COVID. So we're doing the right thing by double checking we're okay. A couple days indoors is something we can both live with. I feel for the most part that I'm striking a good balance between living a normal-ish life without masking where I can, but indoors in public I'm more wary of and we have county requirements to mask up there anyway.

I'm in the group of not being in any group that Nate wants to put people into because he's currently getting his backside handed to him on twitter for something his gigantic ego said today and it didn't put him into a good light.

I have changed my position to confused, and I am vaccinated and don't care about the virus. 

 

I am not wearing a mask because someone else doesn't want to take it and thinks it's all fake news.

I think you  fit into a new group, Group F.  We don't out the top seeds there so there is a chance you can make the semifinals .

Did you type that with a straight face???

 

Also, the meme is off a bit, considering 50% of Americans are fully vaccinated.

And regardless of what was bandied about, PCR tests are valid.  They are just error prone if the staff are not well trained.

I call it what it is, no punches held.  Ditto the falsely inflated covid case counts we have to look at daily.

Last week, I remember hearing several times from several sources, one of them being the president, that the "latest surge in covid cases" is the fault of the unvaccinated.  Trying to shame people into taking it.  As time marches on, the truth tends to come out.  It's not quite what they are claiming.
 

Quote

In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.

Meanwhile Fraudci was running around saying 99% of the covid cases are unvaccinated people.

You call what you see, no issue there for me because it is apparent you don't have any expertise in the subject. Just your opinion, no facts put forth and more importantly no solutions put forward to get us out of this crisis.

 

My views are closest to category B. Yours?
