Well, for sure it's not true for all of Texas and probably not true for all of Kansas and Oklahoma.  But I did stay in Fort Worth and made night in the stockyards and even though all businesses said mask required nobody was actually wearing one.  Of course, the staffers had the obligatory mask pulled down under the nose.  Likewise i was at the Houston Fishing show last week and no masks being worn there either and this was in downtown Houston. 

In general, from the small town I was in at Kansas (pop ~30K) most people there are wearing their masks.  In the smallish town (and larger towns ) I have been in Tx, hardly anybody was wearing a mask. 

My experience in Fort Worth was the same as yours, while Dallas was completely opposite, and pretty much exactly like Austin.

Not at all surprising given the different demographics in Fort Worth compared to Dallas.

I haven't been anywhere in Houston in maybe two years, can't comment on that.  lh320 could enlighten us if he so chose.

a lot of restaurants are at full capacity with about half wearing masks up until eating

hardly anyone wears masks out on the streets 

a lot of employers are bringing back their employees with limited mask wearing

CDC just revised their mask guidelines for vaccinated people to reflect what vaccinated [and some unvaccinated] people have already been doing for months.

I saw that.


It's probably a lost cause at this point, their messaging has been so horrific they've lost pretty much all credibility, but even so-- they really need to fix their messaging.

I get it that they believed they were helping when they were telling people to mask up, even outside in non-crowded situations, but they weren't helping and they actually made it worse because they couldn't even claim THE SCIENCE OMG THE SCIENCE was on their side.  Same thing with masking after full vaccination-- you can't claim to be on the side of THE SCIENCE OMG THE SCIENCE-- and then defy the science.

Even dumb people catch on to your act at some point.

And the smart people stopped listening a long time ago.

Israel is way down and they were probably at the forefront of getting vaccinated.  India is exploding.  Brazil is in bad shape.









Among the unpredictabilities of Covid is why, when, where, and by what degree Covid decides to spike.

In India Covid has seemingly exploded into a 2nd wave overnight. Iran is in their 4th wave. Brazil is still hitting over 3K deaths/day although cases are finally trending slightly downward. Meanwhile the UK, after enduring their own awful variant to start the winter months, are logging as low as 5-10 deaths on certain days. Meanwhile, New York and New Jersey have drummed along at plateauing numbers for months. Covid does whatever it wants whenever it wants wherever it wants.

is is NOT the political meme thread
Removed.

Guys, if you want to post political crap, which includes memes, do it elsewhere.  The "In Other News" thread works.
