COVID-19 Megathread 6: Return of the Omicron

Restrictions have been relaxed way too soon. So sad to see.

I really hope we get a vaccination mandate soon. The sooner we're out of all this the better.

Why are Biden and Harris still wearing masks inside the White House since they and all of the others there are vaccinated?

Probably to set an example, since there are still a lot of people who haven't gotten vaccines yet. But when we get to the point where everyone who wants a vaccine can get one, we can start ditching masks.

I think they think that, but at this point if you're not wearing one you never will and if you are you will continue to do so.  It's just theater.

This part is true. For almost a year now, I've been making note of maskless customers at my own job. The number has remained at around 20% for months now, although there are signs of an uptick. Some of the maskless are habitual customers who I've never seen wear a mask throughout the entire pandemic. They're not going to start now.

Why does your store continue to let these fools in?

I've said repeatedly that The Home Depot does not enforce the mask mandate, as we employees have been specifically told not to confront or deny service to those who are maskless.

Shameful.

It's astounding to me, being in close contact with these people, how many Republicans are truly very scared of the vaccines.

Fake news is a genuine problem in this country, but it's almost all propagated and spread by the right.

So true. And until regulated it will unfortunately grow worse!
