I posted the CDC guidelines before I left and when I came home, the thread had degenerated into a Trump support thread and and bashing of all precautions that had been taken in the last few months......the CDC and Dr. Fauci are just now seeing the light that masks were never necessary and they have been lying all this time.....Long Live Trump!

These messages were from people that are not my Facebook friends and names I don't know.....so I deleted the thread.

Re masks, everyone should do whatever makes them comfortable, but my feeling is for the last year I've listened to nothing but, "Trust the CDC and science." Now, suddenly we shouldn't trust the CDC and science? That's a real issue for me. Again, everyone should do whatever they like, but the CDC came out with new guidelines and I intend to trust the science and them, otherwise everyone only wants to seem to trust the CDC and science when they're guidelines are for negative reasons.
Title: Re: A MAJOR MIRACLE KIND OF DAY
Post by: Jane on May 14, 2021, 02:00:52 PM
"Trusting the CDC" is a different issue than places of business continuing to require masks vs attempting to separate those who have been vaccinated and those who have no.

I, too, will continue to wear a mask, even if not required. I'd like to see us become more like Japan, where if someone has a cold or cough, they wear a mask. If they're not sick but others around them are, they may wear a mask. And so on.

I also like the extra disinfectant measures. And the distancing.

I'm becoming quite anti-social!
Title: Re: A MAJOR MIRACLE KIND OF DAY
Post by: Jeanne on May 14, 2021, 03:45:15 PM
The problem with the CDC has been their inconsistent messaging. They've taken a lot of flack lately for being too conservative, so the new guidelines took many of us by surprise. Personally, I think it's premature. Last summer when things opened up the case counts rose significantly. Yes, many people have been vaccinated, but I feel we should do this slowly. You don't know which people in the room have been vaccinated and which have not. You don't know who is immunocompromised. 
Title: Re: A MAJOR MIRACLE KIND OF DAY
Post by: Jeanne on May 14, 2021, 03:50:38 PM
There's an epidemiologist at Virginia Tech who came up with a "2 out of 3" rule:

The three factors are outdoors, distanced, and a mask.

If you're outdoors and distanced, you don't need a mask.
If you're outdoors but close up, you need a mask.
If you're indoors, whether distanced or not, you need a mask.

This approach makes a lot of sense to me.

I can't speak for anyone but me, but I will no longer live in fear with this stuff. Again, everyone believes the CDC when it's negative, but when it's positive then we suddenly shouldn't trust them or believe the science. I'm never that close to people who I don't know, so that's no issue for me. I will never wear a mask outside again. Last summer, there was no vaccine, hence the cases going up. Cases have been hugely down for weeks, hospitals are completely empty and no one has had a serious case of Covid since the vaccinations began in earnest. Even the people who got it had no symptoms whatsoever, so who knows if the testing was even correct? Inside, I suppose I'll do it at the mail place, but not at restaurants - once I'm in and seated that's it, but it's been that way for months now anyway. Again, whatever makes people comfortable is okay by me, but I'm pretty much done with it as of the most recent announcement - I'm choosing to believe the CD and trusting the science. Even these threatened variants are a big load of nothing here.

I can't imagine not wearing a mask inside at a mall or whatever. But even though the cases are pretty low here. Nobody here has been double vaccinated yet as our province decided to give everyone 1 dose first. So the no mask thing does not apply to Canada.

But I still don't think that I would be comfortable not wearing one indoors in semi-crowded places. Because I don't know that others have been vaccinated.

Also things are still not completely open yet. Restaurants are still closed. And we still have a 9:30pm curfew. But Quebec is doing better than most other provinces. Ontario is still on stay at home orders.

I got a phone call from my doctor. The blood work came back and seems to be relatively OK. This was an appointment right after lunch and my non-fasting blood sugar level was high.

Well, duh. It was right after lunch.

She doesn't know that the insurance company denied the CT scan request. I'll call the office on Monday.

There was a guest violinist who looked to be all of about 15. His work on the Sibelius was particularly nice. He also played the Beethoven, which was lush to the point of being overripe.

Listening to Rodzinski do my favorite Rachmaninoff symphony - number two. It's very good.

After that, it's the final selection in the Rodzinski box and then it will be back to the final nineteen CDs in the Ormandy box.

Ushering tonight for the symphony. Short works by Beethoven and Sibelius. Schubert’s Fifth is the big centerpiece. Should be fun.

I'm ushering for two, count 'em, TWO events this weekend! ;D

So am I. Got the children’s ballet version of Christopher Weedon’s Alice in wonderland

Nice!

Today I watched a documentary on the MS Estonia sinking back in 1994.  I wouldn’t have started it if I had known it was 5 parts.  Also, it was all in subtitles, which I hate.

Today as we were leaving Fred Meyer I suggested we go to The Rock Wood Fired Pizza in the shopping center there.  Keith said lets go to Beaches instead.

There's a Rock Wood Fired Pizza in Lacey, just a few miles from where I live. :)

We then drove over to the  new fusion restaurant we recently ate at.  They were closed due to an employee having covid.

Hi, Tom.

I can't imagine not wearing a mask inside at a mall or whatever. But even though the cases are pretty low here. Nobody here has been double vaccinated yet as our province decided to give everyone 1 dose first. So the no mask thing does not apply to Canada.

But I still don't think that I would be comfortable not wearing one indoors in semi-crowded places. Because I don't know that others have been vaccinated.

Also things are still not completely open yet. Restaurants are still closed. And we still have a 9:30pm curfew. But Quebec is doing better than most other provinces. Ontario is still on stay at home orders.

That's too bad. :-\

Mom heard from her doctor today and her pacemaker is doing her good. The numbers were rather scary, so she appears to have gotten it at the right time. Don't ask me to present or interpret the numbers. That's out of my league.

Great news, John!

Yesterday I watched one of the worst documentaries in theater history. It was THE JAMES DEAN STORY.  It was made In probably 1956, and was narrated be everyone’s favorite, Martin Gabel.

I believe he was married to Arlene Francis.

Their website says that they're on sale, 2 for $5.00, but I was charged the full price for each. :P

The next time I (might) get them, I'll make sure that I go to a JitB that is participating in the 2 for $5.00 deal.

They also have a Chicken Cheddar Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich (https://www.jackinthebox.com/food/breakfast/chicken-biscuit-breakfast-sandwich), so I might try that next time, instead.
