1) “Grandpappy, what did you do during the pandemic?” "I continued to produce food to feed the masses rather rather than shutdown farming operations in fear."
2) And I have and continue to respond to Weyoun. As he continues to respond to me.
Many consider Weyoun and others in his field, heroes for putting themselves at risk to save lives during the pandemic. I have no problem with that, and tend to agree with the label. But when those "heroes" wear their new badge with honor while dismissing the contributions of someone who also continued to do their part in keeping people alive (producing food) because they wear their bravado openly as well, it makes them seem less than thankful for the contribution of those they seem to consider as mere serfs.

But where have I said that the work of someone who works on a farm or the grocery store lacks value?
Of course that work is vital. All the more reason to get everyone vaccinated. I would hate for somebody in a meat packing plant to get sick.
But Spock is not talking about work. He’s talking about going to the parade (and also bragging that he was dopey enough, in one of least densely populated states in the country, to get Covid last year.)
He wanted to rub everyone’s face in shit and he’s appropriately getting called out.
People who have been vaccinated and contract COVID can transmit to others. That's what was demonstrated in Massachusetts last month and led to the revised CDC guidelines. I haven't seen any information as to whether an individual with breakthrough COVID is more or less likely to transmit the disease to someone else.
There are probably a number of drinking and driving alcoholics out there who take great pride in the fact that they've never received a DUI.Spock wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 12:31 pmOr, are you cowering in fear again?
Let's see-last 3 weekends, I have been to 2 well-attended county fairs, an outdoor concert, a large parade etc-with nary a mask to be seen. Plus, the obvious crowded travel situation to the 3rd World in June.
The Spock family is carrying natural immunity from having had it last fall.
It turns out that my partner's illness wasn't COVID. Both he and his wife, who also fell ill, tested negative.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 6:03 pmPeople who have been vaccinated and contract COVID can transmit to others.

But I know that the number of new cases reported among vaccinated people is much lower than among the unvaccinated. As of last week, the CDC had about 125,000 breakthrough cases (previously vaccinated people) total. We are now reporting over 50,000 new cases a day. So the chances that Bob's friend or anyone was infected by someone who was vaccinated are much smaller than if it was an unvaccinated person.
And the recognition that you could get transmissible COVID even though vaccinated is what's led a lot of places and employers to put in new mask or vaccine mandates.
So when did the Darwin awards add a family category?silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 6:08 pmThere are probably a number of drinking and driving alcoholics out there who take great pride in the fact that they've never received a DUI.Spock wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 12:31 pmOr, are you cowering in fear again?

LOL - is it your medically sound opinion that he got Covid because he was 'dopey enough'? Didn't realize that was a prerequisite. Sounds completely legit.

The point is that the failure to have an adverse consequence from risky behavior does not mean that the behavior isn't risky. Thanks for providing some more examples that demonstrate Spock's dopeyness.BackInTex wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 8:42 amOr people who smoke and have never (so far) gotten lung cancer or have COPD.

I'm not following. Is suggesting that we're "girls" supposed to be some sort of insult? The context suggests so, but I don't understand why. Please elaborate. --Bobtlynn78 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 12:48 pmDo you girls all wear pink on Wednesdays?silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 12:39 pmThe point is that the failure to have an adverse consequence from risky behavior does not mean that the behavior isn't risky.
