This is exhibit A for all the dumbasses who think American vaccine hesitancy is not a geopolitical threat. D0D is at the front of the line today, but it's a long line.
But he makes a good point: no one has the right to coerce another in order to make themselves feel safer. Goes the same for forcing or prohibiting either an action or inaction. A rational mind would then check in with the facts and find out who is hazarding whom. Irrational ones just say "my/his/her/every body, MY choice."

I don't know if this has been shared yet, but I found it interesting.

MIT and Alta collaborated on a study last year that concluded liftlines required masks to meet their safety threshold. That was in the days of low case rates and no vaccination. IIRC, they used a case rate of 5/100k/day. US is currently at 6 times that, and not everyone is vaccinated, so the situation is slightly worse this year than modeled in the study.

Funny, I was going to post a drunk driving analogy before I read your post. DOD is just that, dumb.

No one is being forced to inject anything. They have a choice and there are consequences for that choice. Just like most things in life.

Jfc this thread would be a great case study for a Psychologist. The irrational fear is both intriguing and alarming at the same time. Carry on.

Do you have some specific concerns you can highlight about the modeling?
I'm not afraid of single layer buffs. Gapers gonna gape and wonder why they always have to mess with them, but if they're worn as intended (pulled over the head with the front folded down over the chin) they're two layers in front of nose and mouth and that's been shown to be 90% effective. Not to mention comfortable and easy to breathe through.
Even one layer does a lot for slowing your breath horizontally, and if it rises before it reaches anyone that ought to work pretty well in the lift line.

I haven't really seen a lot of "irrational fear" in this thread. I've seen an overwhelming desire to put this pandemic in the rearview through common sense measures. Not really so much fear.

Yeah, I don’t really get all of the fear 2 years into it with widespread availability of multiple vaccines that do pretty damn good job. What are the chances of a fully vaccinated person having serious problems? Basically zero. Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t really know anyone who is worried about Covid anymore.

I got the J&J in March. Had a break though Covid infection in summer. Got Moderna booster this morning. Tiny bit of soreness, but fine. It's a tiny shot.
My buddy had the same exact scenario as above. He got Moderna a couple week ago. Zero side effects.
Go for the Moderna.

The right to walk around public spaces unvaxxed is similar to the right to smoke cigarettes in those same public spaces.. Spewing potential poison causes unnecessary risk to others.
If you can't go there without posing that risk, you can't go there at all.. If I was so addicted to smoking that I couldn't work without smoking (and many were in the 1970s and 80s) I'd have to find another job once smoking in those places was deemed too risky to others.. Same situation with vax mandates..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Ski hills: I don’t see much opportunity for being infected while riding a chair that’s fully open. Definitely could be possible in a crowded box.
You must live somewhere with a high vax/boosted rate, know nobody that could be immunocompromised, not know any unvaxed kids. So the possibility of you being infected is low, and if you’re infected, the possibility of you infecting others and making them seriously sick is very low.
My county, Nevada county, just reported 93 new cases today. Last week, was 161. Population 100k. Ain’t Michigan, but not great.

Moderna booster at 2:30 today. Didn’t even feel the shot this time, I was nice and relaxed on a few bong rips. Guess I’ll find out in the middle of the night if it’s going to knock me for a loop like #2 Moderna did.
