@Beer can I'm not certain what you are referring to ?

Open southern border. Many DHS have admitted they have been ordered to ship by planes trains and automobile, covid positive. And they are only testing obviously sick people who are required to quarantine in hotels but they haven't been.

I actually take back the thought it won't slowdown its bound to. Britain delta has peaked many other places. We'll be OK. Just had a moment of doubt. All the nonstop media and Govt fear porn just getting to be to much.

All the news on the Delta variant has a lot of people wearing masks in public again. It's not mandatory at all here in Massachusetts, but recommended. Yesterday I stopped at Trader Joes for groceries and nearly everyone was masked, except for this one strange woman who was maskless running around babbling about how we all realized the vaccine wasn't working. One of the other shoppers was about to engage her but I intervened and calmly steered her away and reminded her that you can't win an argument with a crazy person so just nod and smile and move on. I'm crossing my fingers that the booster shots will be available soon. JMHO!

To a large degree folks here in NJ are voluntarily masking indoors. "Once burnt, twice smart."

More shots won't help the spread, as even vaccinated people can spread the virus.
IMO, everyone should keep wearing masks anytime they are around other people, especially in public.

I agree and am shocked at the number of maskless people here. I am at a festival this weekend…. HUGE crowds, I was the only one wearing a mask in the middle of them all. Of course, I probably shouldn’t have gone in the middle either but I wanted to get pics/have fun but yeah. There’s been a few other people wearing masks, mostly older people, but some kids too, but otherwise no. Maybe like 5-10 out of thousands.

I forgot to wear it in the inside venue part last night, there were far less people but… inside and closer, so I’ll probably get something but oh well. I was tired and hot and forgot but ya
