NFL Cardinals team just had 4 players test positive for Covid. Every member of the team has been vaccinated.

Ok
Why is this news?
I'm vaccinated
Yet I still don't want to get covid and still socially distance and wear a mask
Its still very scary out there if vaccinated
Its just a much more scary world if unvaccinated

Have a good laugh at the unvaccinated winning more Darwin awards.


Haven't seen any of that. Having a better laugh at vaccinated people still living in fear even after the vax.

And they are still alive, I guess the vaccine works.

The vaccine really works

The team, players, staff, everyone did what was asked of them and every player took the vax jab whatever. A couple days ago, some tested positive for Covid although they had already received vaccines against the virus. I'm wondering if like any other job, if they did their part [took the jab] will they be allowed to go to work, [play in league games?] So are they have not lost a game in season play, it would be a shame that they couldn't run their team as they see fit having followed all the rules. If following the rules doesn't allow you to move freely about the room, what's the sense in taking the risk of clotting etc?

There sure aren't many masks in the stands. Not many in the stores around here. I've been to see some Dr's lately, they araen't wearing masks. Seems it's mostly cashiers that have to wear them.

In my parts maskers are about 10-20%. Which totally proves how wrong people who claimed the masks were popular were. As soon as they were not required most people stopped wearing them.

Did someone put out a survey on popularity? That's a ridiculous gauge, unless we're talking about Halloween.

Survey? No survey needed. Just go to a few stores and observe how many wear masks by choice these days.
