Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

  Looks like Canada is not accepting Un-vaccinated tourists, and I say good for them.                       https://www.yahoo.com/news/canada-not-welcome-unvaccinated-tourists-195409880.html                                                                                                 

How do you tell if someone is vaccinated it is unregistered. If Covid-19 is over they will say a variance or 21 theres no pleasing some people

Not at all.  It is registered in a national database (in the US)...the problem is that the ability to create an easily verifiable "passport" that could be checked is being blocked by a certain group of people.  Apparently we can require people to wear hard hats in a construction zone, but we can't require them to show that they have taken steps to not endanger their fellow citizens .

I didn't know there was a national database...the vaccine card I was given could be easily forged, is there a way to verify vaccination from the database?

Nope, there isn't.  But vaccine information for your personally is available...so if you ever lost your overall vaccination records, you can get them back, much like your birth certificate.

Interestingly, a case for privacy rights that normally would be taken up by the ACLU has been adopted by their traditional opposition .  Funny how that works.

Thanks for the information.

   Yeah, my sister in Florida tells me that privacy thing is what caused problems on the cruise lines. Evidently, you can't gop to college unless you show proof of vaccination but,..... if you go on a cruise line, they can't ask you personal info about your health because it violates the Hipa laws. Bunch of balony if you ask me...... "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one".... Star Trek.

bruh

He's just trolling.  Ignore him.

    Here's a follow-up to my previous post.....Canada will be opening the border in about 1 month........https://www.yahoo.com/finance/m/3f7ea97c-923f-3930-8233-cdbccd98b5fd/fully-vaccinated-americans.html

For those that are thinking the pandemic is over in the US:

President Biden put it very well today. "The only pandemic that's happening in this country right now is among the unvaccinated."

Until chess.com makes some official announcement, l want to keep the politics out of this thread as much as possible.  Particularly when something clearly identifies one side vs. another.  In this case, it's pandemic related, it informs people of the dangers of assuming people are vaccinated in Florida, and also warns everyone that there are people out there trying to actually undermine Covid-19 measures.  The fact that it's a clearly identifiable SuperPAC can't be avoided.

Fauci is a complete idiot, and the merchandise is hilarious. Anyone who listens to Fauci, at this point, is a sheeple. Double masking?  No making?  Masks don’t work?  Wear masks outside?  Vaccinate kids?  He’s an idiot. 

What a tough decision...Fauci's expertise/opinion vs. 4kingknight's expertise/opinion ...

Anyone reading this thread please avoid the mistake I just made and DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. There may be a risk of dropping IQ points if you spend too long on here. Thanks bye
