I like the masks. Keeps me warm in winter, helps keep me healthier and from spreading anything (not just Covid), and the best part is that kinda feels like an invisibility cloak. You'd think conservatives would like not being recognized considering how much y'all bitch about privacy.

No they cannot, but labs are asked to then send certain positives to other labs for sequencing where they can determine a variant and add it to the library.

I'll wear a mask if a business requires it. I might wear it inside even without a requirement if hospitalizations/deaths go through the roof.
I think it should be concerning that Delta variant cases are spiking during summer months when I would have expected a warm weather lull.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I wear a mask if its required at work or in businesses.
We de-masked at main State a while back (everyone in the building was vaxxed) but there’s a possibility we may mask up again
If my grocery store starts requiring masks again then I’ll do that too. I *could* find a grocery that doesnt require them but at the end of the day I just want to get my shit and go home.
On my own outdoors I never wear one, and I don’t like people very much so Ive always been a distancer

I thought Montanans were healthy, outdoorsy types. I had no idea obesity was that big of a problem there.

Obesity is a problem there, but it's low on the list. Alcoholism and bad pizza are higher on the list.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I thought the guy, Gordan Chang, was sensationalizing the breakthrough cases when he said that his doctor friends were telling him that 50-60% of their COVID positive patients were previously vaccinated - I even said so about 20 pages ago, but it's looking more and more like he was correct.
Now we see why Biden had to "correct" the Pfizer CEO when he mentioned they were getting ready for a booster for Delta.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Shocker...conservatives and red states aren’t pulling their own weight...
It’s time for those who willfully refuse the vaccine to hide in their homes and let the rest of us get on with our normal lives.
It’s all about the freedom!
“In April, people in counties that Joe Biden won in 2020 were two points more likely to be fully vaccinated than people in counties that Donald Trump won: 22.8 percent were fully vaccinated in Biden counties; 20.6 percent were fully vaccinated in Trump counties. By early July, the vaccination gap had widened to almost 12 points: 46.7 percent were fully vaccinated in Biden counties, 35 percent in Trump counties. When pollsters ask about vaccine intentions, they record a 30-point gap: 88 percent of Democrats, but only 54 percent of Republicans, want to be vaccinated as soon as possible. All told, Trump support predicts a state’s vaccine refusal better than average income or education level...
Pro-Trump vaccine resistance exacts a harsh cost from pro-Trump loyalists. We read pitiful story after pitiful story of deluded and deceived people getting sick when they did not have to get sick, infecting their loved ones, being intubated, and dying. And as these loyalists harm themselves and expose all of us to unnecessary and preventable risk, publications—including this one—have run articles sympathetically explaining the recalcitrance of the unvaccinated. These tales are 2021’s version of the Trump safaris of 2017, when journalists traveled through the Midwest to seek enlightenment in diners and gas stations...
Compassion should always be the first reaction to vaccine hesitation. Maybe some unvaccinated people have trouble getting time off work to deal with side effects, maybe they are disorganized, maybe they are just irrationally anxious. But there’s no getting around the truth that some considerable number of the unvaccinated are also behaving willfully and spitefully. Yes, they have been deceived and manipulated by garbage TV, toxic Facebook content, and craven or crazy politicians. But these are the same people who keep talking about “personal responsibility.” In the end, the unvaccinated person himself or herself has decided to inflict a preventable and unjustifiable harm upon family, friends, neighbors, community, country, and planet.”
