The Cult of Masks expects us to wear them forever. 

Science be damned!

Received round 1 of Moderna vaccine yesterday.  Arm hurts, that's about it.  Round 2 end of March.

There are a ton of appointments available in Columbus as of right now. They need to lower the age requirement down another 5 years so we can get them filled. Kroger’s all over Columbus had spots available. Mt Carmel East had about 100+ of each type of vaccine.

My mom and brother got Covid last week. My mom is 74 with high blood pressure. She’s on her 9th day and feels much better. She never had a fever and her oxygen was always 96 or above but she was very tired and her back hurt. My brother is 50 and was better in 2-3 days but still has no taste. 

My mom caught it about 9-10 days after her first shot so that probably helped her a little. The doctor told her she could stop quarantining on March 1. 

Prison island. 

The latest from "success story" New Zealand, which is now in its 4th lockdown (this 1 because of 1 case):

They're debating whether to punish people for getting infected with COVID-19. It must be "rule-breakers" causing these repeated lockdowns, they say. https://t.co/bz9yffZQ5y

Same here, second shot on Good Friday

So news outlets are reporting that the vaccine is 100% effective on keeping people out of the hospital after 1 shot.

And?

People believe once they are vaccinated, that they no longer need to wear a mask. Please educate them, it’s frustrating!

Bingo

There are probably parents out there that actually would do that (see the comments). Freaking Canada.

Thats all.  Remember it was just to flatten the curve.  There is no more pandemic.  Its been long over.

I don't think things like this get said enough.  This is no longer a pandemic, but we treat it as such.

The wailing on twitter is kinda funny. I'm not holding my breath that DeWine will follow suit.

Mississippi follows suit.

I expect Alabama, where I live, to follow suit.  Although mask wearing has been going on here, you'd never know about the  pandemic otherwise.  Our school was open since August, all stores and restaurants have remained open for normal hours all along.  I'm glad I lived here during the age of COVID.

Lol Ohio will be one of the last to retire the mask

I expect people to stop abiding by it en masse before the mandate is lifted.
