Exactly. I've never had a flu shot.
I'm going to wait as long as I can, but I really suspect it will be tied to travel. I'm sure a vax will be a requirement to enter Canada or to exit Mexico at the very least. Both of which I plan on doing :)
I also suspect that certain states will require it. Arizona probably won't but California and Washington will. Both regular destinations with me. The idea of running the speed limit because I haven't been vaccinated is pretty foreign to me. I can, but...
Yes, I tend to agree and think that entry requirements to countries will lift to include a vaccination certificate or some such. Maybe they could make us wear an identifying marker on our clothing. A star on our left chest perhaps to mark us. It's been done before.
Crazy world we're living in Tom. Crazy.
I'm sure, absolutely positive that RFID chip implantation will be an option because it will make it so much easier to go through the airports and customs and such... If that's the choice I'm a non player. Period.
You know that Sam has an RFID chip? When he's out wandering (it's happened twice) the Animal Control guy scans him and calls me up so he doesn't even have to go to doggy jail.
Yep, I'd say you're right...And won't the government's love it. I'm against it of course,but fornpwtsnjts a good idea. Cleo has one same as Sam. The old G-dog won't be getting one though.
It won't happen with me. I'll be an even worse hermit than I am now. I'll never go to Canada or Mexico if that's a requirement.
They just announced that people will need to check in on a phone app (or other method if they have no phone) to supermarkets here, and other places...To aid contact tracing.
Sounds like Nazi Germany 1938...
"WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS?!"
This is the new normal and it's unlikely to roll back in my lifetime.
I'll not be shopping at that supermarket, but when they all do it? Starve, or conform I guess.
Ugggghhhh. Contact tracing hasn't gotten much traction here. There is a huge fraction of the population that is very leery of it.
I mean, I get it. If I'm sick, I'm ok with telling where I've been and when in the last 4 days. I am not ok with doing so BEFORE I'm positive.
It's sort of like quarantining well people.
The thing is that we just got locked down, one of the most strict lockdowns in the world, which was announced and enacted within 11.5 hours last Wednesday based on a lie told by a covid case. It cost the State, people like me and Faith, $100 million. It was lifted, somewhat, when the lie was exposed but still. That's why they want to ramp up the contact tracing thing, to mitigate the potential for lying.
Assholes.
I'm so fucking mad right now...Ready to grab my flintlock and powder and revolt! I'm over all this shit. Over it.
