[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am vaccinated and boostered and I wear a mask but something about a vaccine passport, showing proof,  doesn’t sit well with me.  How will it be enforced? Is my passport going to be scanned at businesses? Will this information be reported back to a government entity? Is it just theater?[/quote]

This.  And it's just another way to hurt businesses.  Let them police their own business the way they want.[/quote]

Elrich thinks this won’t hurt businesses because a vaccinated person won’t leave MoCo to shop elsewhere.  He is SO wrong.

I am so against this.  I will absolutely drive up to Frederick for restaurants/bars.  Already, they have no mask mandate.  I’m vaccinated, but he shouldn’t underestimate how much people will dislike this kind of crazy BS.  [/quote]

Actually I know a lot of people myself included who think the opposite. We've stopped going to Frederick stores and restaurants because barely anyone in these establishments, including workers wear masks. I was just at Weis and Home Goods at Mt. Airy 3 weeks ago and I was seriously uncomfortable.[/quote]
Well, that’s just weird.  Are you vaccinated?  Did you wear a mask?

Why do you need to control what everyone else is doing?  Even if every other person in that Home Goods had Covid, you are covered because you are masked and vaccinated.

You can’t control what other people do.  You can only control your own behavior and how you react.[/quote]

You are correct about being in control. As I've said, I decided to no longer patronize these establishments and others that clearly lack concern about this virus. There's also something very off-putting about their customers as they walk around indoors maskless without a care in the world. I'm only 15 minutes away from Frederick but it feels like thousands of miles away when I'm there.[/quote]

This doesn’t even make any sense.

You are uncomfortable with people being unmasked in the Frederick Home Goods.  Where you are not very likely to be in contact with another customer, or even the cashier for more than 5 minutes.

But, you are comfortable patronizing a Montgomery County restaurant with tons of unmasked people, simply because you know those people are vaccinated.

Despite the fact that it is very clear that vaccinated people can vary and transmit Covid.

Your logic is vey fuzzy.  I could understand if you supported a mask mandate, but MoCo already has that.  [/quote]

You don't make any sense. There IS a mask mandate in MoCo. None in Frederick. In addition, the customers and workers  at the Frederick establishments rarely wear masks. Yes, I'm uncomfortable with that and will not support them. What's confusing?[/quote]

What’s confusing is that your logic is incredibly flawed.

Your risk of catching Covid while dining indoors with 50 other vaccinated individuals is much greater than your risk of catching Covid in the Frederick Home Goods, while masked, regardless of whether those individuals are vaccinated or not.  [/quote]

Where did you get the idea that I am hopping around MoCo eating at restaurants though? All I said was that I stopped supporting Frederick establishments (stores and restaurants) because of their lax policies regarding COVID safety and my uneasiness about the customers going around unmasked. But if I were to go to a restaurant, yes I would feel safer going to one in MoCo vs Frederick.[/quote]

When MoCo requires a vaccine passport, will you start dining in restaurants in MoCo?[/quote]

I already dine at MoCo restaurants although much less these days because of the rising cases. Because of the rising cases, even more reason to support places that require masking over those that don't. Plus having a passport  provides the added assurance that there's likely a smaller number of customers sick with covid than at a place with no vaccine requirements. Of course there are breakthrough cases, but the majority of people getting infected are unvaccinated, which means they are still the ones doing most of the spreading. My sister works at a DC hospital and the large majority of the covid patients are unvaxxed including those who show up with mild symptoms.[/quote]

Montgomery county has some of the highest vaccination rates of anywhere. Who are the unvaccinated that are causing issues in MoCo? Yes hospitalized patients are majority unvaccinated but if nearly everyone in MoCo is vaccinated and we have so many cases, it stands to reason that many of the cases are in vaccinated individuals [/quote]

They need someone to blame when its their own behavior vaccinated causing the spread.[/quote]
