I missed any experts who lost their minds over this.  Folks were saying it's a concern.  And it is.

I missed with few exceptions anyone calling for extreme measures.

There are scores of examples in this thread alone.

I'd rehash them, but I don't want to, and doing so would also inevitably spark heated political debate.

as a side note my neighbor got her booster yesterday and for 24 hours her arm hurt and she had a headache but feels fine today

my daughter got the booster last week with no side effects

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Acting irrationally and emotionally instead of using solid facts, science, research, and logic.  Pretty much an obvious, standard, working definition of losing one's mind, in my opinion.

And there are hundreds and probably thousands of examples of leaders and public figures doing this over the past 2 years, around the globe.  Not the least of which is the UK's current reaction to Omicron based on pretty much zero scientific evidence.  This type of activity has repeated continuously since January 2020.

why do you think the leaders do this

could there be a reason we are not allowed to discuss on this thread

nevermind I had a weak moment

It would be amusing to watch the Federal government attempt to impose such a restriction, and to watch states like Texas and Florida openly defy them.

But it'll never come to that.
That idea is one of those silly bits of fear porn. I suppose someone could do it to try to drive attention, but it's functionally unworkable without a boatload of state involvement, which would never happen.

That said, I'm sure states are far more interesting in blocking each other than the feds are in splitting them up.

A little uptick here in Florida. Could be a Thanksgiving spike, or it's all of those people from the North bringing it with them.



Deaths are way down.

I don't think your family or anyone else's is complete. Probably never, unless this new variant just gets us all and it turns into a common cold.

Did Booster Thursday.  Took 10 year old for hers.  Love going to the Indy Motor Speedway for it.   Army reserves run the operation outside turn 2.  Don't even leave your car.

In the early days of spring 2020, we saw a handful of states attempt to restrict access from other states.  It didn't really work.  I suppose some might attempt it again if they felt the need, and I expect it wouldn't work any better the second time around.

Yeah, but those were states, not the feds. Feds don't have the resources to do it, nor the authority to make states do it.

And let's be real, even then, it was just a kind of stupid show. Declaring that some other folks have cooties has been a time-honored tactic to fire up your own folks.
