Agreed. I hope it gets adopted here. I don't want to eat at a restaurant with a bunch of anti-science mouth breathers breathing their covid-ridden breath everywhere.

Just get it to go, and you don't have to. Eating inside an In N Out isn't exactly a 5 course meal at Capital Grill.

Jesus, even pre-Covid, I preferred to eat in my car with the radio on rather than sitting in a fucking fast food restaurant.

And even worse, being whiny pussies would just be annoying. But whining about, resisting and fighting something most of them otherwise wouldn't even question, when it has the impact of spreading/prolonging a deadly virus & killing folks who otherwise tried to do what they were supposed to do or those unable to vax...

The whiny pussy factor just escalates to a whole other enraging level.

When I lived in California & we had time, we always ate inside (or outside at the tables) because In N Outs always had some good people-watching. And we spent way too much time in our cars as it was.

I always find the nearest Target parking lot to eat my fast food in.

Getting sick of this shit.

Really really sorry to hear this neumdogg. How is she doing now? Hopefully all light or hardly any symptoms? How are all the rest of you doing?

Thanks. And yes, we had it in July of last year. Sick of this shit.

New: A booster dose of Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine was found to have a high efficacy -- 95.6% -- against Covid-19 in a Phase 3 trial, the companies announced. They noted that "efficacy was consistent irrespective of age, sex, race, ethnicity or comorbid conditions."

That's great! Curious what the percentage is against Delta and other variants.

The numbers have PLUMMETED in my area. I think we're closer to 100, or even less, cases a day. I'm starting to believe some of those that said we may see a significant roll back of COVID by spring next year. It seems like its finally burned through everyone it can that's unvaccinated.

My county has an almost 10% positivity rate and one hospital just shut down visitors and my wife’s hospital is about to pause surgeries again.

Interesting. My daughter has covid so I just took a covid test yesterday. Interested to see if I have it especially because I have had my 3 shot already.

[neumdogg]

We are all negative. I had a feeling my daughter was a false positive. What the fuck. So much stress and homeschooling for nothing.

Fuck COVID.

Thanks man!

We are trying to figure out the school situation because since she tested positive first, the school is asking for a doctor's note to clear her. My guess is that she will be back on Monday.

Us too. I was so annoyed and relieved after getting the negative results.

Pfizer data in kids released this AM looks pretty great.

A few updates though. We got our oldest tested again yesterday just to be 10000% sure. However, negative or not, the school won't take her back until Thursday of next week (end of her quarantine).

Better safe than a statistic, even though it sucks.

But cheers on the false negative.

Yea, I get it and I want the families to feel safe. However, the whole thing sucks for her and I can't help but feel bad.

Actually I may take you up on that at least for my younger daughter. She had to quarantine too and the head of the school yelled at my wife instead of being sympathetic about the situation.

Happy to be your advocate.
