Yet once again you are making blanket statements about something you don’t know. Provide the link where I said that - you can’t as mask wearing doesn’t affect my comfort level and I haven’t used one since 2 weeks after being vaxxed.

I will however be more than happy to wear one if it makes the folks around me more comfortable as I don’t view that as some huge sacrifice. It’s a matter of common courtesy not political or personal freedom issue to me. But hey - keep acting like you know me and what I think same as you know more than the combined medical profession.

As long as you continue to take pot shots at me, don’t cry when they are returned

Who’s crying? I’ve only repeated what you have repeatedly posted. Since when did that become a pot shot? You in turn try to make things up and assign them to me. Why - because I don’t make absolute statements on topics that are still evolving.

a lot of school teachers were hoping to not go back to the classroom this year. who wouldn't prefer staying home in your jammies and proctoring an hour of online independent study as opposed to showing up at school and dealing with six periods worth of today's youth? teaching is a crap job. it's important...but crap. underpaid to deal with unmotivated, entitled kids who cannot be disciplined and then it's your fault when standardized tests show them for what they are.

From my experience with virtual school last year, Knox County teachers who taught online got up everyday, got dressed, and went into the school building to teach like normal. They still taught probably the equivalent of what they would have taught had they been in person. Perhaps there was a little more downtown when kids didn't need help on the work after the assignment was made. The teachers who taught our kids and all of their encore teachers were great.

That'd be my first guess too, but this guy just doesn't do stuff like that. Plus, he had his 18 year old daughter with him who calls him out on everything. She was laughing at the story and said it was unbelievable how the hostess just broke bad on him out of nowhere lol.

Best guess is she had been dealing with it all day and was at her witts end. She probably thought he pretended to leave his mask and she wasn't hearing it.

As someone else mentioned in this thread a little earlier, the Moderna vaccine appears to be stronger than Pfizer against Delta based on several studies. For those getting a booster if you have a choice seek out Moderna.

If you got the 2 Pfizer shots can you get the Moderna booster shot

Yes, it’s allowed.

The CDC recommends you get the same vaccine you got for your first two doses, so if you got the Pfizer or Moderna the first two doses, get that one for your third shot. But if that is not feasible, the CDC committee said an additional dose with the other mRNA vaccine is permitted.

My sister who is an ER doctor just got her Moderna booster after having both rounds of Pfizer back in January.

That’s good to hear. Me and my wife got the second shot in April so whenever we can get the booster we will and I think we will try to get the Moderna one. We are in decent health other than me being a little overweight along with high BP so I guess it might be November or December before we can get it.

I plan to be there for the beer festival. When I made those plans, I assumed it would be in Tattnall Park and I could walk to the game. Then I find out it's downtown near where all those people have been getting shot up. Not sure what I'll do now. I also plan to be there for homecoming. of course, all travel plans are subject to no covid surges.

We went up for the Cherry Blossom Festival and enjoyed it...walked around downtown, Wesleyan College, and took a tour of Luther Williams field...I never felt in danger...parts of the city look pretty rough though

I appreciate this woman doing the right thing admitting she was wrong and encouraging people to not make the same mistake.

I understand small studies can give you varying results but these are all over the place...not sure I'll get a booster View attachment 387511

So just going off those articles and no official numbers compared to the original efficacy of Pfizer and Moderna (approx. 94% effective), 71% and 66% aren’t great numbers. 71% is like a great efficacy for the Flu vaccine in any given recent year. You’re still left with a 29% to 34% chance of getting symptomatically ill, probably not hospitalized but who’s to say you won’t suffer at home for a week or longer?

I spent seven years there and ordinarily go back a couple or more times a year. There are places you don’t go. Then there are places you can go during the day but you don’t go after dark. There is a lot of poverty and desperation there but there is also a lot of charm and history. Downtown Macon could easily be cleaned up into something close to Natchez, Mississippi. The bones are there. I know some movies and television shows have been made there in recent years and some of the money people behind those productions have become enchanted with the city and are buying up numerous of the old antebellum mansions downtown. What they plan to do with those properties, I have no idea.

Downtown is coming along. Piedmont Brewery, Ocmulgee Brewpub, Barefoot Tavern, Parish, Dovetail, Rookery, Downtown Grill, The Brick, Famous Mike’s, Decadent, etc have turned it into a pretty good dining scene.

Sorry to derail the thread but I have to drive to Atlanta several times per year. Where in Macon would you recommend eating for lunch or dinner?
