Sitting in a Friendly's in Boston today when we get the call that our 10 year-old had a case of that delta pac in her cabin at camp last week. Headed for CVS tomorrow for the rapid test and now preparing to spend our entire vacation in our secluded cabin.  :curse:

I know the conservative talking point is "the poor service workers can't enforce this" but when I visited in May they were still taking down everyone's contract tracing info and checking temperatures at restaurants and it was NBD. (They stopped doing it by July but still)

Clear, or someone similar, needs to make a universal vaccine passport app which a) confirms your vax status b) makes it very easy for the service/building to verify. just a QR code in the app or whatever.

ultimately it will be maximum inconvenience to the unvaccinated that solves this thing.

Kcmo mask mandate brings me back down to the pit!

Clear app has it. My qr code is locked and loaded. They will manually verify your scanned card or if you got it at Walmart or some other pharmacies you can scan their qr code on their site for auto enrollment.

Heard my first personally related breakthrough infection today. Family member vaxxed same day I was. Kid of another family sounds like they brought it in. They are doing fine just some sniffles and tired. Vaccine works!

I'm at a family reunion and one family driving in had a breakthrough case and turned around before they got here and a second family showed up (vaccinated), got a call that they'd been in contact with someone positive, and tested positive themselves.

The upside (sort of) was one case assumed it was allergies and the other assumed it was asthma/smoke related. The downside is they basically didn't even think to get tested and were probably infecting tons of unvaccinated (including their kids).

is there a precedent for forcing private businesses to require vaccines?

I don't think we're going that far with this...but I'm for it!

Is some version of  "No shirt no shoes no service" mandated by government or is it always by the businesses' choice?

Regardless this seems like a pretty good precedent to set
