A couple restaurants in Austin announced they were going to require vaccination to eat inside with anyone allowed to eat outside. The state threatened to revoke their liquor license. This place sucks
Governor just mandated masks for K - 12 schools here. It sucks but necessary rn. School board meetings are going apeshit nightly fighting when both sides know the right answer. They have to. Literally no one could be that fucking stupid with their kids .. right?

Yeah, there's a lot of really fucking stupid people in this country
Really needed to find a nugget of optimism today and started looking at some numbers. It looks like in most states the reproduction rate has leveled off or is decreasing. Some states were things got bad quickly like Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana and Florida even have rates below 1. Bad news is that in a few midwest states(Indiana, Michigan, Iowa) the rates look like they are still shooting up. This obviously doesn't mean that this thing is over but maybe it might peak soon.

Here is some optimism. Vaccines work and delta is (unfortunately) still mostly affecting elderly and immunocompromised.

DeSantis took some hilarious Ls the past few days. He threatened to cut pay for any superintendents who mandated masks or pull their district funding completely, but then buckled after several prominent counties called his unconstitutional bluff and mandated masks anyway. Finally, his team said superintendents should cut their own pay if they mandate masks…suuuuure they will.
Would I prefer a governor who, you know, actually governs? Yes. But am I relishing in his abject failure to unconstitutionally control school districts? Hell yes.

so new Philly indoor mandates went into effect Wednesday. I work at a bar, and we either were gonna have to wear / require masks or require proof of vax. Managers decided to go w the ladder. hoping it doesn’t fuck w business cause I work for tips but definitely feels like the better choice.

Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
As we know, over the past couple weeks a LOT of artists and venues have been instating Covid 19 vaccination requirements for attendees. Along with that, I've noticed a bunch of these venues are recommending we use this mysterious "Bindle" app to prove our vaccination status in lieu of carrying around the physical card. (A short list is at the end of this post.)
I checked out the Bindle app, and as far as I can tell it works entirely on the honor system. It asked me to take a picture of myself and then let me "self-attest" that I'm fully vaccinated. There was no kind of verification done! Now the app shows a QR code to be scanned at the venue door, which will tell staff that I meet their health requirements.
This has been causing me a high level of stress. I've got this feeling that Bindle is doing a selling blitz and these venues might not entirely understand what they're buying. I'm personally a huge fan of the vaccination requirement, and this just struck me as an extraordinarily easy way for people to cheat.
(This page I found makes a reference to venues being able to deny self-attested customers, but the few places I tested on the app seem to allow everything. Which really makes me think that the product isn't being understood properly.)
I felt like I had some responsibility to raise awareness about this, but also wanted to be really careful about making accusations against a company. Definitely stressed and stuck... Anyone want to throw any advice my way?
Some places/tours that I've seen recommending attendees use Bindle:

Now, you said reproduction rate and I thought you meant these idiots stopped breeding
Walking around the a PACKED Lower East Side in NYC this weekend and we're about 50/50 in terms of checking vaccinations. The restaurants I went to were pretty diligent but the bars downtown usually just did a "so...you guys are all vaxed right?" Hoping the restrictions De Blasio puts in the place will clamp down on this otherwise we'll be looking at a miserable fall/winter.
