Not the only one. I'm deathly afraid of shots. Obviously in this case I'll be down to get it, but I had to get a few before my wife and I went to Thailand last year and almost passed out. I was pretty set on just rolling the dice and then she said some things and next thing I know, I was getting made run of by the Rite Aid nurse for not being able to look at it. Apparently if you have tattoos, people think you are automatically fine with needles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are leaving in droves from what they tell me and have been for years. AZ and Texas seem to be the destinations of choice. Terrible policies will do that. And people come in droves from other states. It all balances out to keep real estate and owing a home high unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get vaccinated but I need to do more research with regards to individuals who have allergic reactions resulting in anaphylaxis. Haven't really looked into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really looked into it I'm also concerned about this. Not very, but by the time it even becomes available to someone like me I will feel comfortable in making a decision with all the information available to me. I've had some pretty brutal allergic reactions before in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A negative test isn't a surefire thing! Anyways, I hope a hail mary hits California and things start to normalize. I don't have much faith that anything short of a hail mary will come their way though. Those people deserve so much better (really, our whole country does). I'll leave it at that. Right now there’s nothing that can be done in CA. Restrictions are in place as much as they can be. This is just the limits of states trying to place restrictions on their own. Eventually people get pandemic fatigue and do whatever they want such as go to large indoor social gatherings without masks on. We’re seeing the results of Thanksgiving. And we’ll see Christmas and New Year’s soon. It doesn’t help that people are spreading misinformation about the deaths and hospitalization.

Who constantly goes against his own rules any chance he gets? Then offers a fake apology every time he gets caught. Opens up winery's and restaurants for his own personal use... haven’t met a single person who likes him here in Cali, no matter their politics, and the recall efforts are basically 50/50 at this point. Sorry don’t mean to bring up politics, he’s just one of the reasons this state has gone to **** which is the topic we were on. It’s unfortunate but is what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry don’t mean to bring up politics, he’s just one of the reasons this state has gone to **** which is the topic we were on. It’s unfortunate but is what it is. Blaming the governor for one incident is exactly the problem and a cop out. You’re basically absolving yourself of all responsibility. It doesn’t help that law enforcements from certain parts of CA don’t take the pandemic seriously either. The real reason is pretty clear cut: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/model-california-now-struggles-tame-covid-19-75003827 Quote Experts say a variety of factors combined to wipe out the past efforts, which for much of the year held the virus to manageable levels. Cramped housing, travel and Thanksgiving gatherings contributed to the spread, along with the public's fatigue amid regulations that closed many schools and businesses and encouraged — or required — an isolated lifestyle.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Newsom is a choad. He's actually worse than that but I'll respect some of the rules as this is already borderline lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least he’s a choad that’s smart enough to put restrictions ie. mandatory masks in place against the pandemic. The issue with the surge isn’t on him. It’s on people that are doing the recall because they don’t believe the virus is that serious and want everything to reopen again. And on the reasons I already listed.

SteelKing728 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Some people have the privilege that if they have a certain letter next to their name, indicating that they are part of a particular group or organization, that they are absolved from any sort of blame or punishment that is directly linked to them. I don't want to go down that road too much, because what I said mainly applies to those who hold office or power (although it could apply to anybody). We have the individual responsibility of protecting ourselves first, which in turn benefits others. Edited January 3, 2021 by SteelKing728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 California can do whatever they want as long as they keep handing me oodles of money for sitting on my butt all year. Everyone hear crapping on it with a 401k should count their blessings - big tech is the only reason the S&P 500 isn't in the gutter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
