I mean, sure, if you think being "back to normal" is going out to eat all the time and going shopping without a mask, you can easily do that now. If it's going to packed sporting events, traveling outside the country, meeting people face to face for any sort of work-related activity, or anything else that involves lots of other people, things aren't going to be normal before next fall at the earliest.

I've seen quite a few people taking vacations in Mexico and traveling on work trips. FSU looked pretty crowded too. But I see your point, most competent governments won't let us in any time soon.

The US tourism $ is pretty alluring.  I bet EU lets us in spring at the latest.

The EU countries should require vaccination documentation for entry, really. We are a nation of very stupid, irresponsible people.

Yes, absolutely no anti vax movement in Europe, Rage (I mean aside from the thousands protesting, but who's counting?) Excellent points.

I think about 40% of us will choose to get the vaccine.

Welcome to 5 months ago, Dug.

My great, great grandpa also refers to events that occurred 5 months ago as proof of current or possible to come events.

Slow Dug, just because you don't know about something (which is a lot of stuff in your case) doesn't mean that it didn't occur and isn't currently still happening.

There was actually expansive reporting on the anti-vaccination movement in Europe starting in 2019 in part due to the immigration crisis.

I'm sorry you're always so far behind . . . well, not really.

Even the blue states are like 20-30% QOP.

No matter how you break it up, there’s going to need to be some reallocation of people in order for everyone to be with their preferred countrymen (and countrywomen!).

there are a few spots that require a covid negative test within three days of traveling.  seems like a pretty reasonable precaution -- especially as testing demand slows stateside.

International?

I know a guy who traveled to Alaska and needed that. Three days seems like a long time.

Quite a few caribbean islands. Croatia, some other random places. It's almost impossible to get test results in time. Aruba you can test when you arrive.

The next question should be, "How many people would still be alive if it weren't for the Grandma Killers and Bill DeBlasio locking everyone down right at peak incubation time after get out there and party weekend."

I can't get over how disgusting our president is being over deaths purely dependent on them being "blue" or "red".  Ignore the fact that red states are doing equally horrible in this fight.

I thought Trumpers were big "blue lives matter" people?

this is no doubt really bad let's not forgot he also killed a lot of people by purposely slowing down testing and completely bungling the PPE for HCW's early on.

Only a Low IQ Biden Voter (Phil, SD, cRusty) believes sending some cheap ass face coverings through the United States Postal Service was actually going to make a difference.   You can literally fashion any number of types of facial coverings that would be far more effective out of readily available materials in most homes.   

This is particularly the case if they bought the face coverings from some Chinese company with peasant workers boxing them up as they fell out of the machines on to the dirty floor. 

Italy and other countries have had to either refuse or just throw away millions upon millions of dollars of Chinese made PPE because it was so shitty and completely worthless. 


I mean, how positively  :lol: and shame on HHS for even contemplating such a dumbass waste of money.

So that's 5.5% of the country -- hopefully some of the other vaccine'rs can come in and produce some more.  If we can get (significantly) at-risk and medical people to take it, that would do a lot of the heavy lifting for us IMO.  Would probably take like 60m i bet?
