My coworkers and I discussed this today. The problem is most people who don’t want to wear masks also don’t want to get the vaccine and it’s hard to have people show proof without asking for the vaccination card. Plus now we will have a harder time getting people to wear their masks again. That is true but we are going to come to a point where everyone who is willing to get vaccinated is vaccinated and the rest won’t ever do it. We have to go back to some form of normal eventually. The studies show that even if vaccinated people get COVID it doesn’t spread as easily to others which eases my mind about being around anti-vaxxers. I’m not going to be running around hugging and kissing people or anything, but bring in a public space is fine with me.

chrisy01 that was my concern too and I specifically thought of your workplace. I already saw people bitching on social media sites about it even though CA only has a 36% vax rate at this point. Clearly for businesses it's easier to have one firm policy then literally card everyone at least until we get higher vax rates. I saw a study that 47% antivaxers said if they were paid $50 they'd get the vaccine. 57% said they'd do it for $1000. So it's totally going to kill them and implant them with spy software but it's worth it for $50. Cool.

I've had a super productive week and I feel good about it. My house is clean, the yard work is done, my work work is caught up.
I had an amazing massage Monday. My masseuse did wonders for my shoulder. And he's so freaking beautiful. He's grown out his hair and is letting it down all curly and luscious....🔥🔥 whoa--I'm back now.

Lol guster about the tp! Team sticking with my mask and actually just ordered a bunch from athleta bc they are $10 for 5 instead of $30. Got some for the kids for camp. I am mostly grouchy bc I was hoping to feel more comfortable taking the kids places if everyone was masked, but now not so sure. I do want to get j to a baseball game before they open up to full capacity, not that our team sells out often🤣. Also my face is an absolute disaster lately, so until I get my breakouts under control, mask it is!

We’ll be okay outside (i think), but I am worried about the indoor activities we wanted to do. I’m glad there’s a little bit of time before everyone is home for the summer, and I can wait and see how it all plays out.

I suspect with the new CDC guidance that there will be more businesses dealing with irate customers if they keep their own mask rules. It's going to be a mess but I don't have a solution since I think it will be a mess as we transition more no matter when. I do agree with you tallb about the kids being around people that aren't wearing masks but not knowing if they are actually vaccinated people. For me, I will probably wear a mask in certain places still but my comfort level could change with that. Right now I still wear it outside since it is a rule for spectators of sports in our town. If that requirement drops, I will unmask.

They still have not been to an indoor restaurant and probably won’t be until they are vaccinated. At this point, we gave up so much for so long I’m going to be pissed if they get covid now from some adult who didn’t need to passing on covid.

Kroger is giving $100 bucks or something like that. People's opinions go out the window for a free hundred lol.

It'll be the same assholes who said "If you're so afraid then stay home" who will be bitching about possible vaccination requirements some places may adapt. My how the turntables... Well fuckers, if you're so afraid of the vaccine then that shouldn't stop the rest of us from going out and enjoying ourselves so stay the eff home. ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/wtil0pQFBbNwA/giphy.gif) ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/l4JyTjeF61Gdi90ME/giphy.gif)
