In reply to: Doesn't really matter. It is now vaccine or bust for a good posted by Steelhop
issue. I've seen just as many parents comments (not here but elsewhere) say that they wouldn't send their kids to school or do anything without a vaccine. I guess you could infer my comment was about teachers but I wasn't even thinking about schools just everything when I wrote it. My comment that fear (which I am not arguing per se against) has driven a portion of the population to hysterics beyond some level of common sense.
Not to be nudge about it but the Canadian health minister stated the other day that even with a vaccine they would likely require masks and social distancing for years after the vaccine is implemented. That type of comment tends to be really counter productive in my view.
beyond the pandemic is a good thing. Maybe not en masse, but in certain situations (high flu/cold season), when you're sick, visiting people in the hospital, airports, etc., where it will make sense to continue to wear masks.
That coupled with comprehensive sick leave policies would be helpful.
flu season and in hospitals and the like. I think a blanket edict seems a bit too much.
