23. Cross the border easily from Queens

into Nassau County and none of this will apply. Drive through NYC and do not stop until you get to Long Island. We do this now when we visit our grandkids. Vaccination papers? Really? Not even MASKS are required.

We live in PA and are both retired. How are you going to mandate vaccination for we old folks? Can't go grocery shopping to cook at home? Maybe you can cancel our Social Security for non-compliance?

FYI. I am an unvaccinated Democrat who doesn't have or go to doctors at all. My husband is a fully vaccinated Republican who had covid last year but no symptoms at all, let alone not hospitalized. He got vaccinated not because a government official mandated vaccination but because his DOCTOR told him to

You cannot make blanket statements or mandates for every single man, woman, and child in the country.
