[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see why truckers need mandatory vaccines?  They are riding alone in their cabs the bulk of the time.

When they unload their shipments the loading dock doors are open (fresh air) and usually there is maybe one or two workers in receiving up 60 feet apart.

My truckers would unload their own freight and then off they would go.[/quote]

You think they never interact with anyone?  You've clearly never set foot inside a truck stop. [/quote]

So, if we close truck stops we could put an end to community spread? No sports stadiums or bars, but truck stops are the root of the problem?[/quote]

No.  The point is that it's clueless to try and suggest that truckers never come into contact with anyone and are somehow at zero risk.   The reality of it is that many truckers HAVE been contracting covid all throughout this pandemic.  Sick truckers have contributed to missed pickups and deliveries, backlogs, supply chain shortfalls.  It's mind bogglingly naive to suggest that truckers are alone and not at risk.

What specific kind of venue matters less than what kind of contact people are having with each other.  And there are many places around the US where unlike NOVA and the big cities where you will barely see a mask anywhere, as if there were no pandemic.  And, truckers pass through those areas all the time.  Many truckers live in those communities as well.   And, Omicron is burning through those places like wildfire right now.  [/quote]
