  1. Agree or disagree?
  2. Can his 10 day quarantine be shortened? Is he even required to quarantine by HP? This is a quite confusing bullet point to me, Pg 8: Students who are exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 will not be required to quarantine. The CDC recommends anyone who is not vaccinated and exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 should self-isolate. https://4.files.edl.io/4beb/08/16/21/141434-cd5ec38b-498e-4a2c-9a6c-3b78e6c4be44.pdf Are you quarantining him from life in general? If so, I believe there is a positive to getting a negative test on day 5 (wednesday in your case). He could be out of quarantine by the weekend. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html You may be able to shorten your quarantine Your local public health authorities make the final decisions about how long quarantine should last, based on local conditions and needs. Follow the recommendations of your local public health department if you need to quarantine. Options they will consider include stopping quarantine After day 10 without testing After day 7 after receiving a negative test result (test must occur on day 5 or later)
  3. Lol. I imagine it’s 100% selfish. From his personal health to his bottom line.

  5. Full serious answer. They were already subject to vaccination or testing.
  6. Strange that they only require testing on 12 and up. Are they not interested in 11 year olds with Covid? Also, how the heck can they tell the difference between an 11 year old and a 12 year old at the gate?
  7. From that article Finally, Chase is getting his wish with Many Saints, which is set between 1967 and 1971.
  8. That’s the most he’s done. Too little, too late but I’m surprised he even went that route and even kept saying it after getting booed. Wish he did that in February before the lines were drawn permanently.
  9. Who was the sitting US Senator?
  10. Evidently Bono's son, Elijah, has a band - Inhaler.
  11. While I appreciate this, it doesn't really answer the question. To boil it down, there are a large group of people who say "I already had Covid. It wasn't a big deal." I work with one. The study you link is about reinfection. They aren't really worried about reinfection, because they've "been there, done that." All I'm wondering is if there are studies that show that the 2nd infection is worse than the 1st infection. If you weren't hospitalized the first time, what are the odds you will hospitalized the second time?
  12. Reminds me, I've wanted to watch the movie Backbeat for years. Saw it when it came out but literally cannot find it streaming anywhere.
  13. Mick Jagger in 1969 singing about 13 year olds. Well, the recorded version is *only* about 15 year olds. The live version linked below he changes it to 13. Pretty disturbing lyrics. But does anyone question for second that Mick Jagger (and many others in that era) weren't doing just this. Hell, Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 year old. I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs I know you're no scare-eyed honey There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs But it's no hanging matter It's no capital crime I can see that you're fifteen years old No I don't want your I.D. And I've seen that you're so far from home But it's no hanging matter It's no capital crime Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat Oh yeah, don'tcha scratch like that Oh yeah, you're a strange stray cat Bet your mama don't know you scream like that I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that.
  14. I thought I'd seen everything, but getting updates on a bomb scare from Nick Pappagiorgio beats all.
  15. Regardless of vaccination status? That's a step above Lollapalooza, which was a success.
  16. I understand that. And it isn't really unvaccinated vs. vaccinated. That evidence is out there. There is a difference. I'm wondering if there is evidence on unvaccinated that had documented hospitalization-free Covid vs. Vaccinated. Is there a difference? Maybe not, but there has to be some information out there. Of all the hospitalizations, ICU, Vents, and deaths on the unvaccinated, what percentage of those had hospitalization free Covid previously? If its a decent %, that's a selling point to those who say "I've already had it. It wasn't a big deal." My gut tells me its probably pretty low or else it would be talked about.
  17. I'm sure this question has been asked over the previous 137 pages, but I'm going to ask. This is a real world example of mid 30's guy in my office who will not get the vax. We all know hundreds of people who have had Covid and ranged from asymptomatic to flu like symptoms, i.e. not requiring hospitalization. Has a study been done on people like that getting Covid for the second time and what are the odds that the second time required hospitalization or worse? I'm not talking about antibodies remaining from the first case. More about people who had Alpha, their bodies handled it just "fine." My gut tells me those people probably have nothing to worry about (from a hospitalization standpoint) if they get Delta the 2nd time. They've already had a test run and their bodies handled it just fine. Will the second time be any different? Has there been a study showing something different? Obviously not everyone is motivated by the "greater good" to get the vaccination. I never had Covid to my knowledge. I got the vaccine for a number of family reasons but the selfish part was because I'm 44 and its possible that a 44 year old can die from this. I have no idea how my body would react to Covid. Would I be the freak case of a healthy guy that died? But lots of people do know how their body reacts to Covid. Like the guy I work with. He had it and it wasn't bad. He's not worried about the greater good. So what's his motivation to get it, outside of punitive rules and laws? Strictly looking at his personal health, is he just as unlikely to avoid hospitalization and death as a vaccinated person? Are there studies that show the 2nd time can be worse for someone like him? Because if not, its a hard sell. For a lot of people, we say "the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting Covid, but it greatly reduces hospitalizations and deaths." Does a guy like this have an argument that he's already at that stage?
  18. And BLM Greg from the White Lotus. He (Jon Gries) was already the perfect example ITT with Lazlo and Uncle Rico, but he just took it up a notch.
  19. FYI, got this from the Windsor Court yesterday. I imagine they don't want to have to worry about checking for this again and again in the bar, restaurant, meetings etc. If you're a guest, you're already cleared. If you're not cleared, you're not a guest. Dear Valued Guest, Effective Monday, August 16th, the City of New Orleans will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR test to participate in activities with a higher risk of transmission such as indoor dining and bars, indoor entertainment and meetings, and large outdoor events. As such, Windsor Court Hotel will require all guests and patrons to provide a proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test within 72-hours prior to arriving to the hotel, effective Monday, August 23rd. Please know we are at your service and will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to welcoming you to Windsor Court for an authentic New Orleans experience! Sincerely, Ralph Mahana General Manager
