I understood at the very beginning because none of us knew what to expect, but now there’s no reason for it! I’m so tired of seeing news stories of jackasses who thought the whole COVID thing was a hoax and just before they’re put on respirators they ask the doctor for a shot. Ugh!!

They don’t get that they’re the reason this virus isn’t going away.

My husband's niece nearly died last week due to covid.  She's not had the vaccine because she didn't want to take the risk due to being pregnant.  She let people stay at her house, one of which had covid and she ended up catching it.  She had to have her baby 7 weeks early and very nearly ended up in an induced coma and on a respirator because her heart and lungs were failing.  Luckily both her and the baby are slowly improving.

So anyone who thinks they won't get it bad because they are young, think again!  She is only 25 and nearly died.

RokofAges75:
How scary!! :(   I'm glad to hear she and the baby are starting to improve.  I hope things continue to go in the right direction.

mare:
Yikes! That is scary. I’m glad they’re improving.

Rose:
OMG that's terrifying!

So I went to all 4 After Party shows in Vegas and it was in a few ways scary. Cause Delta is real in a way it wasn't in June. But a majority kept their masks on, everyone I was with was vaxxed and masked and we were all smart about it. I tested before and after cause my work friend can't get fully vaccinated (bad allergic reaction to her 1st shot) and I wanted to protect her. I came up clean. I feel pretty good about events if they're done right. Starting October 4th you'll have to have a negative test or vaccination proof to attend any concerts done through LiveNation. So that means all the BSB Christmas shows which is comforting as I have pit for a few of those.

I'd probably not go if my dad was still around, to keep him safe. But as it's just me I don't mind small risks. I saw friends I hadn't seen since 2019 and it did wonders after the year I've had.

I'm all for vaccination passports. Don't want to get vaccinated (barring valid medical reasons of course) well, choices have consequences.

I'm glad concerts are requiring it. Now I wish more sporting events would too.
