~55% of California’s population has received one dose and the plan is to reopen fully on June 15. Is this too soon given vaccination stats?

  • Nope we need to end the fear mongering. I'm not anti vax and got my shots but I also am sick of this endless fear mongering and lockdown culture. It's time to end it now and stop living life being force fed media induced paranoia.

    • Nah I haven't but I've lost loved ones for other reasons. Doesn't mean we should stop living life. People die in car accidents everyday. Guess we should all stop driving as well? Covid has been under control in the US now. Sorry if you lost someone to it but it's affecting your logical reasoning because you are clearly reacting to the situation emotionally rather than looking at the facts. States that have reopened have still been successfully decreasing in cases.

    • Yes, keep the virus around for just long enough for it to mutate and evolve.

    If you want to get the vaccine, get it.

    If you don’t want to get it, then don’t.

    You all should have some serious issues with the fact that the Bill of Rights was shelved during the pandemic, but here we are discussing whether the lockdown should be extended based off of voluntary vaccine rates.

    Shameful.

    • So you're saying that it's impossible to be against lockdowns for something that has a 99+% survival rate for otherwise healthy individual, let alone acknowledge the politicization of it all, without going full-on "orange man"? Do you genuinely believe any of the reasonable skeptics here had anything to do with the viking hat riot?

      It's been over one year, we now have multiple highly-effective widespread vaccines. What exactly are we waiting for to be able to let people who aren't fortunate enough to work in tech back to work?

      I don’t agree or disagree to any of above but want to clarify about the survival rate. It is high because of all sorts of measures done. If not, hospital floods and we don’t have enough doctors, nurses and medical equipments. The survival or whatever rate would go down hard. Remember what happened to European countries when they had more patients than they could handle.

    By June 15 it will be 60%, exactly what Fauci told us is needed for herd immunity

      There is no such thing as herd immunity because:
      1. Each locality is different
      2. There are ever increasing number of variants
      3. Most importantly, we’d all need a shot every year. So it’d never be a done deal

      Vaccines work against the variants, including the Indian variant. The CDC didn't just forget about them.

    After getting the first dose, a lot of people don't go back for a second dose despite the abundance of supply. Check the stats.

  • Time will tell. Walking around nyc, 2 out of 5 have masks on. Inside bars at night, it’s 1 in 20 with a mask on

      Loldoge, I mean you do you, but the science is pretty clear. You can be outside without a mask, you can even go inside without a mask. Enjoy your life! You being all stressed out inside your home is probably more dangerous than your odds of dying from COVID.

      OP
      You’re probably right. I know so many folks impacted by COVID, especially earlier on, that now I’m probably overly paranoid. It has been stressful for sure, and I can’t even remember what normal feels like. I just can’t bring myself to put any kind of risk on my family.
