Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 20, 2022 Members Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm really talking about the government, not really the public at this point. I do not want to revisit the situation we had in 2020 where there weren't even enough PPP for frontline workers. This goes beyond optics. I live in the Northeast, where we are the first to feel any effects of new variants and changes and it is not the same as in the Midwest, which is generally last to experience any changes. It is a different story here. Panic won't help matters but people need to go into this emerging situation with open eyes. I just don't think it's a good idea to shift COVID money to Ukraine at this point. Government preparedness is different from public anxiety. What I am talking about is preparedness. If anything goes left, people will inevitably blame the government, even those who claimed that everyone had been overreacting six weeks prior. I also think there hasn't been much thought given to the disabled and immunocompromised these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 My neck of the woods finally did away with the mask mandates 3 weeks ago in Boston. And cases are low so I don't see an issue with taking a breather from being caution for awhile. I think N95s should be more widely available for those in need of masks, and there are some promising therapeutics that need to be ramped up and distributed. Lastly I do think it's horrible people wearing masks are being give grief for wearing them. However, it's karma because mask wearers were being horrid to people not wearing them 24/7. I think respect goes both ways here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 This isn't a both sides thing. During the height of the pandemic, not wearing a mask put other people's lives at risk. During the ebbing of the pandemic, wearing a mask doesn't harm others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 28, 2022 Members Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'm genuinely not trying to shade Sinopharm or Sinovac, but I am truly curious to know how effective those vaccines have been, particularly against the omicron variant. I'm not sure whether we'll ever get an accurate answer to that question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 29, 2022 Members Share Posted March 29, 2022 I only don't wear one when I'm walking to and from work, mainly because I don't walk past anyone. But, at work, I have one on 24/7. And yes cases may be down here in MA... but I'm still not optimistic at the moment, especially since once we hit that zero mark on March 5, we're going up again. As of yesterday: 2,624 new cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
