We just joined them. CEO met with Board and we're out. Not only did we have to have a vaccine registered with Clear to get in, but now they are following CDC guidelines and mandating masks 100% indoors at the exhibit hall. Clark County a petri dish. Back to square 1
This seems like a nightmare. I remember the anxiety of sending ours during normal times. My wife would send him with a bodycam until she felt comfortable. They do seem accommodating, has to be a tough business during covid

You used the word "lunacy" in reference to a take... I commented that somebody's take is lunacy for sure, just not the one you think. Referencing a take as Lunacy is not the same as calling you a lunatic (or a sociopath, for that matter).
Since you brought it up...
As of now our very large conference in Nashville for October is a go. I seem to be the only one on the team who has "interruption/cancellation" on their radar.
Hopefully short term small head cold does not equal long term chronic brain deterioration.
No idea why I bothered getting vaccinated. Should have just gone to a COVID party evidently.
Most likely not—but I think the reality is that there are a TON of breakthrough cases that are gong unreported. Most people do not get covid tested super often—especially vaccinated people.. If a vaccinated person feels like they have a mild cold or flu—more often than not—they are just going to ride it out. Breakthrough cases that are bad enough to seek a hospital visit most likely represent a tiny minority. Being that we only count cases that are officially reported by labs or hospitals—I’d say its safe to assume that there is a LOT more Covid out there than we think. A lot of people got vaccinated in February or before—which means the efficacy of them is dropping with each passing day. You have to remember—towards the beginning of covid—one of the biggest fears was asymptomatic spread. With so many vaccinated breakthroughs occurring—asymptomatic spread could be very plausible currently.
It's ALMOST like antibodies from vaccines or previous infections work.. who'd a thunk it?!
I got my 3 sons all vaccinated (Pfizer for all 3) as soon as they could be. As cruel as it sounds, I’m no longer worried about other people’s kids or their parents, if they’re eligible to get the vaccines and they don’t get them.Have sent 5 buddies with kids these links. No hyperbole, just a heads up.
2 (deniers) are actually MAD at me
What the #### is wrong with people. If you want to keep your head in the sand regarding yourself that's fine. Your kids?! Dude...
Good, but it’s been no wait for almost two months now. My youngest was in the 12 to 15 bucket that got approved last and he was fully vaccinated before our 4th vacation week. There was one other mom with two HS aged kids that walked in otherwise there was no one at this CVS the entire wait we were there. I think Delta and the rising numbers will hopefully get the rest of the non-lunatics (had to lol) in line with the get a vaccine group.
My daughter may or may not have covid.
This is the response I am hoping for from our son's preschool. I'm not all that hopeful, but on the positive side, I went over to the school this week (son is home with us for the summer) and they were still wearing masks etc. That kind of shocked me.
Sent a screen grab from AR Children's Hospital just as a heads up because we had discussed in a group text thread a day or two prior and a few folks were adamant that it was no risk to kids. One guy actually asked if there was any data showing kids were at risk.
Yep.
Going to be interesting to see how they balance booster vs "touch-up" that's reformulated a bit to better address the trending variants.
For 12 and over, it was an easy decision. I never worried about the other vaccines they’ve gotten for years and I didn’t buy into the lunacy. My boys had no issues with either vaccine so maybe we would have been asymptomatic anyway but I wasn’t going to risk it. I understood the risks and we’ll get any boosters as well.
Yeah I think tweens/teens are starting to get into the "developed enough" stage. I'd have a harder time making the call with a toddler or 3rd grader. Maybe I'm overly paranoid on that front. Hopefully the study comes back good. 
Yeah, we’ve been on 3 cruises with our kids in the past few years- all in the Caribbean. We are all vaccinated, and would not even consider it these days. Now, if the cruise line requires proof of vaccination, maybe. The main risk is the destinations not allowing the passengers to disembark because of someone popping on a test.
I've woken up with sore throats three times since I've been vaccinated. No other symptom, just the sore throat. Each time, the symptoms have gone away within a few hours -- I'm fine by lunch.
have fun! Which Cruise Line / cruise? Are you Vaxxed? Carnival. My family is all vaxed.
Curious to hear what kind of protocols they have in place. Please report back
I usually cough after eating pretty much any food. 99% of the time, it's just a 30-second thing ... but in the times of COVID, anyone in earshot is going to wonder what the heck is up with Mr. COVID hacking up over there (!).
Norwegian Cruise Line requires 100% vaccination of passenger and crew. No exceptions.
I forgot to mention the crew - yes, Celebrity like Norwegian has 100% vaxxed crew.
