Excellent Covid Vid

8. I agree. While the effectiveness is good,

the fact that some people do get hospitalized and some do die should not be omitted. People get careless when they think they are 100% safe.

Earlier tonight I was in line for the register at a local store when a couple came up behind me leaving only about 2 feet at most between us. The man's mask was below his nose. There were more than 6 feet between the customer ahead of me and me due to the store layout and policy of stopping far back from the register. So I moved forward. So did the couple behind me. I asked them to back up and the guy said it was ok because he was vaccinated. I said I was too, but vaccines are not 100% effective.

Then I said to him that he was not even wearing a mask. He did not argue. He knew that exposing his nose made a mask useless. He just said, "So what?" I said, "So you haven't heard that vaccines are less effective on the mutations? You haven't heard that seniors are more likely to have breakthrough infections than other people?"

They were both gray haired seniors. His wife's eyes looked concerned above her mask. They backed up and did not say anything else.

They were well meaning but overconfident.
