To be clear, my opinion is to each their own.  Eh, you want to take things to the extreme, going, as long as you don't force your level on me.  In that case, work is ok about that.  No real Karens around. 



^^^This. I'm 1 of those doing the most in my office.  I even went and asked around prior to the lockdowns if anyone wants N95 and all but 1 coworker said no.  Then here comes March 2020 and they all asking me if I get extra.

If 1 wants to protect themselves, that's fine.  But don't force others if they don't want it.

The issue with that comes up like the smoking argument. You putting others in danger (second hand smoke) is not your right.  That's why smoking is banned indoors etc.

Spent the week in the office for the first time since last March.  It was an "interesting" experience.  Particularly how various folks approach the COVID precautions.  Some are basically doing what is required, but essentially almost back to "normal".  Some are taking the extreme caution route, like stopping and not entering a hallway from a side hallway when they see someone coming down the hall.  Another was pretty much covered head to two with either clothing or PPE.  I saw he/she (dunno which) using sanitizer on the nitrile gloves. 

To be clear, my opinion is to each their own.  Eh, you want to take things to the extreme, going, as long as you don't force your level on me.  In that case, work is ok about that.  No real Karens around. 

Anyways, I'll be a little beeyotch as say my face and back of my ears were raw by the end of the week from wearing masks the full time in the office.   :(  :rofl:

Just this morning I have been to breakfast with a friend, went to Starbucks, went on a quick trip to the grocery store and walked around the flea market we have here and I went to the bank. All without a mask. Only Starbucks complained but I had ordered ahead with their app and they couldn’t do much. Believe me, I was not the only one without a mask.

What?! You didn't have a camo-clad goon of obvious low double-digit IQ screaming, in heavy "pidgin" accent, "Go back to the mainland you fucking haole!"? Or an obese female directing "Asshole!" at you in the parking lot? I bet you really miss Hawaii.

Gee, who could have ever guessed this? That "public safety" SAFETY CULT shit knows no bounds. But we knew that all along, as "public health" is the very last thing they are concerned about... in fact, for them, the more disease and death the better... just makes it that much easier to enact their agenda. Notice anything different compared to a year ago?

CBS DECLARES: You’ll Need A COVID ‘Vaccination Passport’ To Travel By Summer 2021

Without a mention of privacy rights the mainstream media appears to be all in for making you ‘show your papers’




As the United States prepares to open back up after the unnecessarily long COVID lockdowns, the mainstream media is shaping the narrative that “vaccination passports” will not only be required for travel, but that they will arrive as a necessity by this summer.

CBS News travel editor, Peter Greenberg, almost appeared gleeful when he predicted two things: that travel – both domestic and international – would most likely return this summer, and that there would be a prerequisite to being able to travel.

Greenberg stated bluntly that in order to travel you will most likely need proof that you’ve been vaccinated for COVID [ALL the strains?]. Vaccination passports, he said, will be the new standard in travel.

“It will be required,” Greenberg said. “The real question is what technology will be available to create a universally acceptable and universally readable document that can’t be forged.”

He noted that preliminary versions of a vaccine passport – or health passport – are being developed by several outlets, in both the public and private sectors – and in some cases a combination of both, around the world.

Greenberg spotlighted the effort taking place in Denmark, pointing out that the Nordic nation is creating a digital passport for citizens that will contain all your current medical information that can be updatable on that digital card.”

The CBS News reporter, speaking with a level of authority usually reserved for higher-level medical professionals intimate with the COVID pandemic, said while digital versions of “your papers” appear to be the goal, early models will likely be physical.

One entrepreneur has come up with two versions of a vaccination passport, one for international travel and another for domestic. The international version has e-vaccine technology that is tantamount to an electronic version of your health records.

His domestic – or basic version (without the e-vaccine technology), he suggests, would be more appropriate for domestic travel and daily interactions.  Both versions hold information about which vaccine was administered, where it was administered, and when.

Lost in the madness to rush to vaccine documentation requirements are existing HIPPA laws and the very issue of privacy.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) created a national standard for protecting sensitive patient information. Included in the Protected Health Information (PHI) are not only your name, social security number, address(es), phone number(s), test results, and diagnoses, but also personal and behavioral attributes that can help anyone – including travel industry companies – single out an individual.

Additionally, the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights protects against illegal search and seizure, stating clearly:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Curiously [Seriously? Who's gonna challenge the SAFETY CULT and risk losing everything?], there have been no privacy advocate groups stepping up to challenge the encroachment into the privacy of Americans where the questionable subject of vaccine documentation is concerned.

Yesterday I sold a 4wd truck. I'm the one wearing USMC MARPAT pants and
police style duty boots.( my normal farm chore dress).
They are "locals" wearing Levis and Nike shoes.
We are relative strangers.  We shook hands, exchanged cash, and documents.
All without gloves, masks or obnoxious chemicals.  Talked, shared information all
within a three feet zone eg normal communications.
This is the Hawaii I live in.
