And all you double vax’d (I’m one) schmoes out there who are not wearing your mask, or not wearing appropriate masks (that means YOU, Gator wearers!) GET A CLUE... we can still become infected and we can still be contagious, even while being protected from serious illness by our vaccines. But we need to continue to mask up correctly, to avoid being a link in the infection chain, to avoid being infected and possibly spreading it to others. This is a Public Health initiative!
You are so right, I saw it too in East. Such a gathering after the funeral. Even Mi**0f H*** was up on the porch in that rather large gathering. When i saw that I said look out. Give them 2 weeks and you will hear.... and HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH THE STORY.
We all have to live with this and follow protocols.
