Not a single mask mandate. Not online schooling. Not work from home.

Absolutely nothing.

It's raging through my town in CT.  We've got several staff down and we're all masked up with tests ready to go five days after exposure.  So far, the reports have been mild, as everyone is either up to date or missing the last booster with the new variants.

I'm sure a higher vaccination rate wouldn't have helped either.

It's been gross watching the transition from "people need to take this seriously! The pandemic is one big I.Q. test! Everyone be safe!" to "I can't anymore, I'm just tired, I want things back to normal" in the last year.

We need an executive order creating mandatory lockdowns and full body PPE. All schools and workplaces must remain closed until we reach Covid Zero.

Knowing my fellow Michiganders, I would have to say likely a very high percentage. Probably followed by a bit of those who only got vaccinated enough to not get fired.

I'm sure the mental midgets in the Michigan GOP are trying to find some way to blame this on her, also.

At least that is what everyone WANTS to be true, so... you know...

3 shotter, lining up a fourth here. Still wear a mask* at work (shop environment), but been a little lax in stores for a few weeks (I'm sick of it too), but about to redouble efforts. Just saying I'm doing my part against the propagation.
Hang in there everyone, eventually it'll kill enough of the dumb ones... *shrug*

*KN95, not a handkerchief or some schitty "surgeons mask" worn on the forehead.

And THAT is why I do not go inside in public without an N95 on that does not come off, period. I've made an exception about once every other month for the last entire year so far (nobody's perfect).

When the county folded up its detailed day by day reports this spring I realized that having decided to abandon any attempt whatsoever to not ohfarkyeahspreadit.jpg, the next logical step was to abandon tracking as well. My county is currently "reporting" 80 cases/100K/week to the CDC but that number is basically meaningless at this point. Test positivity is meaningful, but it's very very hard to extrapolate from that to actual # of cases without a bunch of additional data I don't have.

No, no...stick to the script. The pandemic was a HOAX perpetrated by George Soros, and the vaccines cause the disease. Geez, you have one purpose, to spread disinformation, and you even suck at that.

We'll they're upset she didn't fix all the damn roads for all time so you can be sure they're blaming her for high COVID cases too.

That's not true at all, and in fact, it is dangerous to say and believe such things.

Lots of people got vaccinated and still got COVID. Moreover, lots of people got vaccinated, still got COVID, and got long COVID and permanent complications (myself included). Some have died, despite doing everything right.

I cannot possibly overstate how dangerous, arrogant, and short-sighted it is to just... write COVID off entirely once vaccinated.

As far as I know, I never had it (all the boosters + mask + rarely leave my house). But I've had some respiratory thing for 2 weeks now so obviously I'm terrified of long covid. Going to the Dr on Monday.

https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/michigan

In Michigan, 6,800,483 people or 68% of the state has received at least one dose.
Overall, 6,102,952 people or 61% of Michigan's population are considered fully vaccinated.
Additionally, 3,439,091 people or 34% of Michigan's population have recieved a booster dose.

Probably has something to do with that and the lack of testing.

I'll respect others wishes. I'll follow any rules any business or public institution wants in lace.

But for me the whole thing was about getting the medicine developed.

I'm not going to live my life with a mask on. I'll get my shots and take my chances.

The scary thing how people now detect COVID is still around -- when they or their kid gets sick the ambulance ride is two hours long to find an empty hospital bed.   That bill itself must be staggering.

My favorite was the wrong-wing meltdown over seeds/gardening equipment being deemed nonessential, as if they typically would have farmed 40,000 tons of soybeans in their backyard. That mean old Governor Whitmer....

I had the covids. Honestly, after all the shots and boosters and worrying I'm little let down I didn't die. Sure. I went to the E. R., but no ventilator even. Pretty meh. I will say the diarrhea day of COVID was of a unique and individual character that I believe I could recognize it's particular vintage again.

I never go into a building not my home without a mask and have thus far been disease free for about two years. Never got Covid.

But then my daughter just popped in a couple hours ago for a visit. She neglected to tell me before our greeting hug that she has some sort of respiratory thing going on. So I guess I'm about to die.

It was a good run.

Whatever the percentage is, as a Michigan resident I'm hoping that the ones who are intentionally unvaxxed all die. Anyone goddamn dumb enough to be purposely unvaxxed in October of 2022 is also likely to be goddamn dumb enough to vote Republican.

The only good Republican is the one we can all stand around and politely say insincere things like "He was so young" and "They really did a good job on his goatee."

For my wife and I, we found the best thing to do if you catch covid is to keep moderately active (if you can). It seemed to keep it from settling in our lungs , and helped work it out of our system with minor symptoms. But we were also vaxxed and masked, so our exposure was probably low. Your results may vary...
