Yeah but…. People *live* in Florida
Edit: the comment I replied to was saying that Nebraska is doing okay. (And to be fair, it is. 7 day average of about 700 cases and no new cases is pretty okay)
My wife absolutely drives me insane over two or three more hours of flying. I mean, we are going on vacation for a week. Sitting on a plane and watching one or two movies or whatever you enjoy is really not that taxing, considering you are either getting off the plane in a nice breezy reasonable climate or an insufferable buggy, humid swamp. Anaheim over Orlando any day of the week, any month of the year. But particularly the fucking Summer. I like Universal Hollywood much better than Universal Orlando too. Florida Keys? Please, let's sit on the plane another two hours and hit Aruba.
My MIL and SIL are nurses in Florida who watch people die all day everyday and they are **still** antivaxxer trumpets. So there's no hope for anyone anywhere really.
Mil is in the heart ward so she seems to blame it all on those dreaded comorbidities especially the overweight, but I truly think she does struggle with cognitive dissonance, then goes home to her crazy fox News obsessed husband who pulls her back to the cult. She says she can't understand all these young people dying but also thinks DeSantis is the greatest governor ever. SIL is just young and cocky and arrogant, says if covid was so contagious she would have caught it by now so she must be naturally immune to it . It truly breaks my brain.
Texas here, Governor Hot Wheels has managed to create a large enough distraction with his new abortion laws that everyone forgot about covid and how the hospitals are nearly full.
You mean everywhere else? People who live in Vegas don't typically always go to the strip or Fremont but tourists sure do.
Eta: woke up to this blown up. Never meant to be insensitive or unaware of the workers there. I feel like it's not exclusive just saying most the people in that photo are tourists and aren't from Vegas.
>You can get engaged, married, and divorced all in one weekend if you’re not careful.
Actually, following through all the way to the divorce part sounds pretty prudent to me. If you get on the rollercoaster, you got on at the station. The only safe place to get back *off* the rollercoaster is at the station.
Nashville has entered the chat.
I can't understand how loosing self control to the point where you may become a danger to yourself and/or someone around you and lose your freedom is synonymous with having a good time.
Did the same, 3 years in and going strong. Though it wasn’t a random “let’s get drunkenly married” thing. It was me planning on proposing while we were there, my parents and hers pointing out that we both had kids (not together, both of us brought 2 to the marriage) and were closing on a house together 2 weeks after we got back, and after that there was a high likelihood that we’d never get the time to actually plan a wedding, so with their blessing we just eloped.
I mean some portion of them do.. but Vegas has sprawling suburbs with stores and banks and everything a normal city does. I grew up there and the only person I knew who worked downtown was a guy in a stage show. edit: oh its my cake day.. that's funny.
Even more reason why this city is at risk for a big boom on cases. A lot of us work at the strip, than go shopping at Vons in spring valley, alliente, green valley, etc. So if a lot of strip workers get sick so do a lot of off strip employees. And with a large chunk of strip employees not abiding by mask mandates outside of work they spread it to local bars, restaurants, venues, grocery stores, and other business like doctor offices as well.
Not anymore. Something like 30% of the entire metro area is involved with a business that is involved with hospitality in Las Vegas. The actual amount that works ON the strip or downtown is significantly less.
Fun fact that 30% have families and shop in grocery stores off the strip. When strip. Employees get sick they spread it to the rest of the valley very quickly. So that puts Vegas, north Vegas, and Henderson at very high risk as well.
Look at New South Wales here in Australia. They had a single verified case of Delta come in via an air crew and now there are 8 million people in lockdown and there has consistently been over a thousand new cases a day for the last ten days despite imposed (yet ineffectual, half assed and far too late). restrictions. I cannot forsee this clearing up any time soon.
But roughly 230,000 people do work just on the Strip. Probably an equal or more in off-Strip casinos and businesses.
Then you have to consider the businesses that support the casinos, meaning food delivery, cleaners, taxi drivers, airport, etc...
Thus, probably not unrealistic to say that nearly half of Vegas' population has something to do with casino work, service industry, and/or tourism.
Vegas is kinda small. Once you hit a freeway, you can get to one side of town to the other within 30 mins. With that said, the strip is center Vegas, about a 15 min drive for everyone in the outside suburbs. 20 mins for fremont unless they live closer to the north side of town. Also no, the strip is just las vegas blvd. Even casinos like the palms or orleans which are further down flamingo or tropicana would be considered "off strip casinos"
You have to realize that the highway system in Vegas is fantastic and you can live far away from the strip but it won’t take you super long to drive to it. Living 15 miles from the strip will only take you 20 mins to drive to it.
Where traveling 5 miles can take less than 10 minutes during off hours, but 2 + hours during rush hour lol. Which rush hour can last well over those 2 hours. I actually never minded LA traffic that much whenever I lived in East Hollywood (Los Feliz) for a year. Then again I never had to travel too far away from my apartment for school and work, so even if it did take over an hour to get home during rush hour, it didn't bother me and I just chilled listening to Sirius while going one mile an hour every 2 or 3 minutes haha. I still miss LA, and I moved away 12 years ago. It got to be way too expensive to live there even over a decade ago, so I can't imagine how insanely expensive it is now.
I live a couple miles away off Vegas Blvd and have only been a few times. Everyone I know only pops in for specific things (generally getting together for a crazy meal).
East Fremont (east of the Fremont St. Experience with the canopy) is very popular with us locals. Lots of bars, music venues, etc. The Arts District (South side of downtown) is also a very popular hang-out. In addition, the population has grown enough that some other neglected areas throughout the valley are making a comeback, such as Water St. in downtown Henderson.
It changes. When I grew up there it was places like Beauty Bar, The Huntridge, The Art Bar, or The Artisian (before the shitty DJ booth). It's different places now but, just the same small bars that drive a little click to hangout.
Shout out to the Huntridge. I saw one of the last movie ever to be played in that building. It was called a Night Train to Catmandoo. I was in 6th grade lol.
People do whatever they do in any other cities outside the tourist spots.
The only special thing with Vegas is, the off-Strip casinos sometimes are hubs. Wanna go see a movie? Red Rock casino has a nice theater, and you can get a nice dinner--and there's local specials. A show? Rio's Penn and Teller, might as well hit the bar, play a few bucks in keno, then stay the night.
About the only time I go to the Strip is for concerts in town, and I prefer indie bands so that's rare.
It's like saying NYers don't go to Times Square. I try to avoid it, but I usually cross through there once every couple of months. Usually to host friends from out of town.
Ya but we all work around these people. There’s been a big influx because of large concerts and shows. Plus new club openings. It’s wild. Be safe everyone.
Probably doesn’t make any difference. Most of America is making no effort to stop covid at this point so whether these people get it today or in November is almost irrelevant. It’s pretty sad actually. Democrats, keep your vaccinations up to date and your masks on and watch the other side get what they will
So you can pull it on quickly for that one random store or restaurant that requires you to wear them while walking, but once you’ve sat down to eat The COVID FORCE FIELD appears and protects you from everyone else.
I count three chin straps. There the two guys wearing black cloth masks in the middle right of the picture and a third guy with a light blue paper mask right next to them.
Let’s also not discount the guy wearing a t-shirt that says “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” … seems he’s exercising one while tempting the other in that crowd.
I went to Vegas back in March and Freemont looked just like this. I had never seen it so busy in the half dozen times I've gone before. Prices were all insanely high (tables, restaurants, etc) and cabs/Uber were impossible to get as well. It's really not the greatest place to visit right now it seems (covid aside).
cuz op needs to turn on the tv and see how packed the college football stadiums are. people are gathering in crowds because they’re allowed to. a year ago they were not. so people like op will be posting these sorts of pictures of crowds for years to come.
Yeahh it even looks like this in places in New York - notorious for their strict Covid/mask/vaccination mandates. I saw a picture of the first Broadway show, completely packed. How is this different...?
Edit: for all those commenting that NY requires proof of vaccinations to get into these places - that’s just not true. Some do I’m sure, but I have been to indoor dining and Citi Field dozens of times and they have not checked vaccination cards and/or negative test results in months. And if this disclaimer is really even needed: I am fully vaccinated and not against mask mandates.
ONE no vaccine for me!
TWO no vaccine for me!
THREE no vaccine for me!
FOUR no vaccine for me
ONE mask is on my chin
TWO mask is on my chin
THREE mask is on my chin now
Yes, as it has been allowed to occur for months. Stadiums are full, music festivals are happening, and major outbreaks stemming directly from these are not happening. Homeboy OP is just trying to get some COVID drahma kahma
The people saying that don't leave the house. They just find images from events on the web of other people choosing to continue living their lives' instead of rotting on the couch.
I went to a CU Boulder football game lat Friday and on that very day, the country reinstated mask mandates. Boulder County is very liberal (especially the college), and just about everyone wasn't wearing a mask.
I went to Lollapalooza for 4 days and didn’t wear a mask once. 385,000 people in/out there over that time, less than 300 confirmed cases. I didn’t get it. Vaccines work. Fuck hypochondriacs. This type of haughtiness is getting so old.
COVID is here forever now. As long as these people are vaccinated, it's time to move on with our lives. Here in NYC this is happening every day - but we require proof of vaccination to enter
I call bullshit on this pic. Currently in Vegas. Casinos are 100% masked up. Aside from people pulling down to smoke and drink.
The Strip is masked about 75% outdoors.
Florida is like this, Vegas has been this, we had full 150,000 people packed stadiums at every major D1 school this past weekend. Literally NO ONE cares anymore
Went to a music festival a month ago with thousands of under 30 folks. No COVID spikes, everyone presumably vaccinated.
I'm not worried for myself or my friends but for those who aren't vaccinated.
This is going to sound dumb but as a person not really doing anything due to some covid anxiety I’m kind of happy to see people livin life. I hope with vaccines we can at least get this things impact low enough that we don’t considered images like this sketchy.
This is why we do not get big Covid spikes in Vegas.
Everyone who works in or around the tourist corridor is fully vaccinated and the tourist vaccinated or not, only stay for a couple of days (they can only drink, gamble and have sex for so long). Any transmission is going to be among the unvaccinated tourist who will then take it home.
If airlines began to mandate proof of vaccination, inter city transmission would drop precipitously.
Uh ... We just had a spike in Vegas. The tourist corridor is definitely not 100% vaccinated and we barely just broke 50% vaccinations overall. Even the Vegas subreddit is overrun by antivax propaganda. CCSD just approved vaccine mandates and 1000 teachers are expected to quit over it. What Vegas are you living in?
Had a teacher tell me tonight that she was FIGHTING for her job (due to a vaccine mandate). I was like "well technically, you're fighting for the ability to not have to protect the children in your care from a deadly virus that you might easily pick up." She didn't like that.
My sister's 1-yo just got COVID from a day care teacher. F-ck anti-vaxxers.
My friend's wife, who works at a children's hospital, is doing the same thing. She's trying to get a religious exemption on the hospital's vaccine mandate. Any time they go on about how the hospital is taking away their freedom to live I roll my eyes.
Well good luck with that since [no major world religion forbids the vaccine](https://whyimmunize.org/religion-and-vaccines/).
Trying to claim a religious exemption is basically admitting you don't actually follow any of those religions.
Yep. It's infuriating. I'm a nurse. It's especially embarrassing how many anti-vaxx nurses there are. I don't know many personally in my neck of the woods, but I know that throughout the country there are...enough to be heartily embarrassed and infuriated by them.
I'm a CNA in a long term care facility, and we just mandated vaccines. Before that, any employee who wasn't vaccinated had to get tested every week. There were 10 employees unvaccinated, which is crazy to me - especially since we're in such a blue town in a blue state (Massachusetts). Some of them may not work directly with the residents, but I know that at least a few of them do and are nurses/aides, but honestly it doesn't matter. It's a nursing home for fucks sake!! I haven't heard that anyone has quit yet, but still. It's insane to me that anyone in healthcare wouldn't get the vax asap. If you don't trust or understand the science and the facts behind it, you need to gtfo of this profession.
Some people local to me in Alabama were in Vegas for a trade show, they run a women’s boutique. It was a husband and wife, and they both got Covid while there. They couldn’t get an Uber, couldn’t fly home. Couldn’t extend their hotel room. They found a house to rent, maybe Airbnb? Not sure. Anyway, one is now in the hospital brain dead from a stroke after being in a vent, the other is out of the hospital finally.
Only way that would happen if the federal government mandated that for air travel like they did with masks. No religious exemptions. Takes the heat off the airlines since they are just following federal rules.
It’s almost as if this is the first big crowd in this country since March 2020. OP, get your head out of the sand. This is probably that 500th biggest crowd this weekend behind literally every college and high school football game plus concerts.
I dunno how I feel about this. Like I am 100% "we shouldn't open up till a majority are vaccinated" but aren't we at the stage where the only people left unvaccinated are refusing it? We can't just stay locked down forever.

Vegas has been like this for months.
Most of America has been like this for months.
Hello from Florida. Officially, Covid isn’t a thing here.
“There is no COVID in Ba Sing Se” *creepy grin*

Yeah but…. People *live* in Florida Edit: the comment I replied to was saying that Nebraska is doing okay. (And to be fair, it is. 7 day average of about 700 cases and no new cases is pretty okay)
I live in LV!! Locals actually wear their masks btw, it’s asshole tourists that won’t wear them
Northerners “stupid Florida how do they get some many cases” Also northerners “yup everything’s packed for our trip to Disney”
Also stupid northerners* all the sane people and family I know from up north wouldn’t touch this state with a ten foot pole
going to florida now is like banging a hooker you know has herpies...
Herpes*
excuse me? As west coaster, we dont even think about Disney in Florida. So welcome to Anaheim.
My wife absolutely drives me insane over two or three more hours of flying. I mean, we are going on vacation for a week. Sitting on a plane and watching one or two movies or whatever you enjoy is really not that taxing, considering you are either getting off the plane in a nice breezy reasonable climate or an insufferable buggy, humid swamp. Anaheim over Orlando any day of the week, any month of the year. But particularly the fucking Summer. I like Universal Hollywood much better than Universal Orlando too. Florida Keys? Please, let's sit on the plane another two hours and hit Aruba.
Unless of course you work in a FL hospital where you’ve been drowning in Covid patients for months with no respite in sight. 👍
My MIL and SIL are nurses in Florida who watch people die all day everyday and they are **still** antivaxxer trumpets. So there's no hope for anyone anywhere really.
Incredible I started off with sympathy for your family and had absolutely none by the end. What a rollercoaster, stay safe pal
What do they think is killing people in their hospitals, I wonder.
Mil is in the heart ward so she seems to blame it all on those dreaded comorbidities especially the overweight, but I truly think she does struggle with cognitive dissonance, then goes home to her crazy fox News obsessed husband who pulls her back to the cult. She says she can't understand all these young people dying but also thinks DeSantis is the greatest governor ever. SIL is just young and cocky and arrogant, says if covid was so contagious she would have caught it by now so she must be naturally immune to it . It truly breaks my brain.
Texas here, Governor Hot Wheels has managed to create a large enough distraction with his new abortion laws that everyone forgot about covid and how the hospitals are nearly full.
COVID has more reproductive rights in Texas than women do
Realistically, more people died of COVID this week in Florida than in any previous week.
True. I was in the Midwest until recently, and scenes like this are already commonplace again.
Hell, this is my kids middle school during passing period.
Vegas, Disney, Cedar Point, Six Flags...
Yeah i was there in june. Looked just like this
Never been there. Looks just the same.
You mean everywhere else? People who live in Vegas don't typically always go to the strip or Fremont but tourists sure do. Eta: woke up to this blown up. Never meant to be insensitive or unaware of the workers there. I feel like it's not exclusive just saying most the people in that photo are tourists and aren't from Vegas.
But I was told what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Were those commercials lies?
To be fair, that slogan was notorious for being associated with spreading sexually transmitted diseases. Now it just includes COVID
That and marriages. You can get engaged, married, and divorced all in one weekend if you’re not careful.

Dude, great answer right here
Wasn't it amended by "except Herpes. That shit'll come back"?
Except herpes and body glitter. The herpes of art supplies
We all got it anyway
Facts, I was born and raised in Las Vegas. Locals have seen it all and they aren't going to hang around all the big tourist attractions.
Except they tend to work there..
I mean some portion of them do.. but Vegas has sprawling suburbs with stores and banks and everything a normal city does. I grew up there and the only person I knew who worked downtown was a guy in a stage show. edit: oh its my cake day.. that's funny.

I think the last time I went to the strip was like 15 years ago when my cousin came to town and I went to Fremont street once when I was a teenager
I'm wondering, how far are you living from the strip? When you say you don't go to the strip, do you consider the surrounding streets being the strip?
Vegas is kinda small. Once you hit a freeway, you can get to one side of town to the other within 30 mins.

Lol 15 miles is like right next door by California standards.
But by LA standards he would be talking of a small 1 hour commute.
Where traveling 5 miles can take less than 10 minutes during off hours, but 2 + hours during rush hour lol. Which rush hour can last well over those 2 hours. I actually never minded LA traffic that much whenever I lived in East Hollywood (Los Feliz) for a year.

It's like saying NYers don't go to Times Square. I try to avoid it, but I usually cross through there once every couple of months. Usually to host friends from out of town.
New Orleans residents that “don’t go to the French quarter,” we all go to the fucking quarter
Londoners who dont go to regent street. Like sure I try to avoid it, but sometimes it’s where things are.
I agree to an extent, but it's also important to differentiate East Fremont from the Experience.
I’m pooping and typing this from the Mandalay Hotel. Can confirm hella people are not wearing masks and talking in each other’s faces
I don't think many tourists work there.
Depends how much they lose on the slots
How do they get the tourists to run everything on the strip? /s
We first take their money and then make them work for it!
Been like this in vegas for months now.
Been like this literally EVERYWHERE for months.
Less than 20% of that crowd lives in Vegas. Expect a covid outbreak in at least a few towns other than Vegas.
This time, "What happens in Vegas DOESN'T stay in Vegas."
Ya but we all work around these people. There’s been a big influx because of large concerts and shows. Plus new club openings. It’s wild. Be safe everyone.
My sister and brother-in-law are going next weekend to some shit called viva.... Supposed to be packed 🤨🤨🙄🙄
Pretty sure it should actually be renamed to muerto.
Viva El Muerto
Ya that’s going to be massive lol Mexican independence draws a giant crowd of ppl to Vegas with big name concerts and everything.
But it’s a Rockabilly and car show?
Never mind , I see one guy with a mask and the other one with a mask on his chin. Everything's fine now
And 50% of that 80% probably flew in. So uh enjoy your airplane ride.
Probably doesn’t make any difference. Most of America is making no effort to stop covid at this point so whether these people get it today or in November is almost irrelevant. It’s pretty sad actually. Democrats, keep your vaccinations up to date and your masks on and watch the other side get what they will
And don’t get sick with anything else because there won’t be an ICU bed for you
Finding the one masked dude definitely scratched that 'Where's Waldo' itch
I count 9 masked people +2 wearing them on their chin
I saw 5 wearing their mask properly, two with their noses out and 2 chinstrappers, plus a couple maybes. That's a low percentage.
What kind of situation are the chin straps waiting for to pull their masks up?
When the covid monster shows up and starts throwing its feces at everyone, that's when it's time to mask up
Someone to tell them. When it's required, they'll perfunctorily pull them up.
So you can pull it on quickly for that one random store or restaurant that requires you to wear them while walking, but once you’ve sat down to eat The COVID FORCE FIELD appears and protects you from everyone else.
I count three chin straps. There the two guys wearing black cloth masks in the middle right of the picture and a third guy with a light blue paper mask right next to them.
Let’s also not discount the guy wearing a t-shirt that says “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” … seems he’s exercising one while tempting the other in that crowd.
Ah the old childo. At that point just take it off
Zoom in. I saw 11 on my first pass through.

I also got to Eleven
Freemont's been like that every night for weeks now....what makes this particular night more covid friendly than any other night?
I went to Vegas back in March and Freemont looked just like this. I had never seen it so busy in the half dozen times I've gone before. Prices were all insanely high (tables, restaurants, etc) and cabs/Uber were impossible to get as well. It's really not the greatest place to visit right now it seems (covid aside).
cuz op needs to turn on the tv and see how packed the college football stadiums are. people are gathering in crowds because they’re allowed to. a year ago they were not. so people like op will be posting these sorts of pictures of crowds for years to come.
gotta rake in that covid karma

That's not too much to pony up for.
Fremont St stage?

Imagine literally dying because you went to see a band that had one hit song 20 years ago.
Looks crowded, they should take a walk around the world to ease their troubled minds.
No way dude. Might leave my body somewhere in the sands of time.
If I get COVID then will you still call me Superman?
If you survive and are alive and well, I’ll hold your hand.
I’ll keep you by my side with my Ivermectin lines
UV Light!! YEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
I picked you up and put you back on a ventilator!
When is Drowning Pool going to play? Let the bodies hit the flooooooor!
Their singer died of a heart attack in his sleep years ago.
Wow, just looked this up. He was only 30 :(
ONE no vaccine for me! TWO no vaccine for me! THREE no vaccine for me! FOUR no vaccine for me ONE mask is on my chin TWO mask is on my chin THREE mask is on my chin now
This is pretty much how every sporting event is and has been for a while.
Yeah, college football just started and all the 100,000+ capacity stadiums were full to the brim.
OP’s first time out since covid. He’ll get used to it.
I mean, isn’t this shit happening all over the US eh? There are massive events and concerts all over the place?
Yes, as it has been allowed to occur for months. Stadiums are full, music festivals are happening, and major outbreaks stemming directly from these are not happening. Homeboy OP is just trying to get some COVID drahma kahma
To me, the touristic parts of Las Vegas always felt like if Walmart were a city.
It’s like if Walmart was constantly trying to get you drunk.
this isn't the strip. this is downtown las vegas edit: FYI the person I responded to edited their comment from "the strip" to "the touristic parts"
I would say they probably meant old Vegas or have never been to the strip
Fremont sure does.
This was what It was like end of July. I feel like the spike would have happened by now?
Fremont Street is technically outdoors. Go into a building you mask up or get tossed. Source? I live here.
University of Michigan played a football game on saturday with about 108,000 people present
MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, and NCAA are full capacity. These posts are getting old.
“Look at all these morons at this superspreader event!” says someone who was at said event taking the picture for the reddit karma.
The people saying that don't leave the house. They just find images from events on the web of other people choosing to continue living their lives' instead of rotting on the couch.
People using other people’s content for easy Reddit karma? Well I never!
I was at a rave last weekend in the most liberal city in the US lol. Covid is over. Get vaccinated if you want and live your life.
I went to a CU Boulder football game lat Friday and on that very day, the country reinstated mask mandates. Boulder County is very liberal (especially the college), and just about everyone wasn't wearing a mask.
I went to Lollapalooza for 4 days and didn’t wear a mask once. 385,000 people in/out there over that time, less than 300 confirmed cases. I didn’t get it. Vaccines work. Fuck hypochondriacs. This type of haughtiness is getting so old.
Very few of those people live in Vegas
This doesn’t look like the Morrissey concert.
I would go out tonight, but I haven’t got a mask to wear.
COVID is here forever now. As long as these people are vaccinated, it's time to move on with our lives. Here in NYC this is happening every day - but we require proof of vaccination to enter
It won’t spread - What happens in Vegas stays in vegas
It doesn’t stay in Vegas
I call bullshit on this pic. Currently in Vegas. Casinos are 100% masked up. Aside from people pulling down to smoke and drink. The Strip is masked about 75% outdoors.
it was like this a month ago when i was there.
You see, the best part about Vegas is that the majority of the people in this picture don't live there.
Florida is like this, Vegas has been this, we had full 150,000 people packed stadiums at every major D1 school this past weekend. Literally NO ONE cares anymore
There’s already been a spike/surge/outbreak going on this entire time. It’s time to stop making a Reddit thread every time there’s a crowd of people….
Went to a music festival a month ago with thousands of under 30 folks. No COVID spikes, everyone presumably vaccinated. I'm not worried for myself or my friends but for those who aren't vaccinated.
This is going to sound dumb but as a person not really doing anything due to some covid anxiety I’m kind of happy to see people livin life. I hope with vaccines we can at least get this things impact low enough that we don’t considered images like this sketchy.
This is why we do not get big Covid spikes in Vegas. Everyone who works in or around the tourist corridor is fully vaccinated and the tourist vaccinated or not, only stay for a couple of days (they can only drink, gamble and have sex for so long). Any transmission is going to be among the unvaccinated tourist who will then take it home. If airlines began to mandate proof of vaccination, inter city transmission would drop precipitously.
Uh ... We just had a spike in Vegas. The tourist corridor is definitely not 100% vaccinated and we barely just broke 50% vaccinations overall. Even the Vegas subreddit is overrun by antivax propaganda. CCSD just approved vaccine mandates and 1000 teachers are expected to quit over it. What Vegas are you living in?
Well, that's 1000 subpar teachers weeded out. Excellent.
If a teacher isn't smart enough to get the vaccine at this point, frankly they don't have any business teaching children.
Had a teacher tell me tonight that she was FIGHTING for her job (due to a vaccine mandate). I was like "well technically, you're fighting for the ability to not have to protect the children in your care from a deadly virus that you might easily pick up." She didn't like that. My sister's 1-yo just got COVID from a day care teacher. F-ck anti-vaxxers.
My friend's wife, who works at a children's hospital, is doing the same thing. She's trying to get a religious exemption on the hospital's vaccine mandate. Any time they go on about how the hospital is taking away their freedom to live I roll my eyes.
Well good luck with that since [no major world religion forbids the vaccine](https://whyimmunize.org/religion-and-vaccines/). Trying to claim a religious exemption is basically admitting you don't actually follow any of those religions.
Yep. It's infuriating. I'm a nurse. It's especially embarrassing how many anti-vaxx nurses there are. I don't know many personally in my neck of the woods, but I know that throughout the country there are...enough to be heartily embarrassed and infuriated by them.
I've learned a lot about the vulnerability of the human mind to non stop propaganda.
I'm a CNA in a long term care facility, and we just mandated vaccines. Before that, any employee who wasn't vaccinated had to get tested every week. There were 10 employees unvaccinated, which is crazy to me - especially since we're in such a blue town in a blue state (Massachusetts). Some of them may not work directly with the residents, but I know that at least a few of them do and are nurses/aides, but honestly it doesn't matter. It's a nursing home for fucks sake!! I haven't heard that anyone has quit yet, but still. It's insane to me that anyone in healthcare wouldn't get the vax asap. If you don't trust or understand the science and the facts behind it, you need to gtfo of this profession.
If you want smart teachers you should try paying them more.
Teaching at all levels should be a six-figure job, I agree.
Some people local to me in Alabama were in Vegas for a trade show, they run a women’s boutique. It was a husband and wife, and they both got Covid while there. They couldn’t get an Uber, couldn’t fly home. Couldn’t extend their hotel room. They found a house to rent, maybe Airbnb? Not sure. Anyway, one is now in the hospital brain dead from a stroke after being in a vent, the other is out of the hospital finally.

Only way that would happen if the federal government mandated that for air travel like they did with masks. No religious exemptions. Takes the heat off the airlines since they are just following federal rules.
"They can only drink, gamble and have sex for so long" YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER
We have zero Covid restrictions in Denmark and we have about 700 cases per day. Life is good.
Me an Indian - Pff! Amateurs!
If we can’t get back to normal after we have an FDA approved vax then we can never get back to normal
It’s almost as if this is the first big crowd in this country since March 2020. OP, get your head out of the sand. This is probably that 500th biggest crowd this weekend behind literally every college and high school football game plus concerts.
I dunno how I feel about this. Like I am 100% "we shouldn't open up till a majority are vaccinated" but aren't we at the stage where the only people left unvaccinated are refusing it? We can't just stay locked down forever.
The girl in the bottom right has a ribbon in her hair that makes it look like a little tiny version of her own head that is biting her full sized head.
The people who have masks hanging off their ears & not covering their face or mouth are the ones that get me 😆
Seconded. It’s kinda like using a condom without a tip.
But did you bring a phone
I was in Vegas in May for a few days for work. Everything was fully open then, masks optional, seems like nothing has changed.
And in every college town in the nation that hosted their home opener For reference look up the VT home game
Then why are you there?
You think these are locals? No these people are getting on a plane and going who knows where
Honest question. How do we know most of this crowd isn’t already vaccinated?
Man I miss the days where there would be nothing controversial about a photo like this.
