zen Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 On one hand, we have the threat of the Delta variant (and maybe other mutations) spreading. On the other hand, we see many countries in Europe opening up for tourism for summer (in a controlled manner), and at Euro 2020, many stadiums are said to be at almost full capacity. So far approx. 35% Europeans have received at least one dose. I do not have information on the percent of population that has received 2 doses. Also Germany's CureVac has suffered a setback (efficacy rate around 47%). Is Europe letting its guard down early? Will we see a lockdown in winter in Europe? Or is it on the right track?

maniac Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I went to Target yesterday. Pretty much everyone were roaming around without masks. I think only the employees had a mandatory mask rule. So not sure if USA is dealing with it any better nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khota Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 You may be correct. Someof those stadiums are kind of full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Only about 15% wearing masks in malls, grocery shops in US. The mask mandate lift is only for those not vaccinated, others need to wear masks , in an “honor” system. Offices are not compulsory. We still wear them out of fear Edited June 29, 2021 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still wear them out of fear When colleges/universities open in the fall for full F2F enrolment, dorm living, partying, football games etc., the excrement is going to hit the fan. There's already a big tug-of-war between colleges that want to mandate vaccines for enrolment and the "this-is-against-our-autonomy" crowd. Lawsuits have been filed against some universities who have decided to mandate vaccines. Imagine being an older prof at a state institution in red America that cannot mandate vaccines, and spending 10 hrs a week in a cramped auditorium with 800 freshmen wondering how many of these 18 yr olds are unvaccinated, unmasked and unfetteredly partying. Just got to trust that, if you are yourself vaccinated, your chances of becoming seriously ill are really small and push through. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Need to keep a close look at the breakthrough cases in UK. If they get similar level of hospitalisation as the previous wave then it basically means we are screwed. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedheat Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Cases are spiking again in UK and still I see maskless people attending stadiums in clusters. Seema like all right wing leaders are idots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
