[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with dropping the mask mandate but the vaccine mandate was good, common-sense public health policy. [/quote]
What do you think the vaccine mandate in DC accomplished, exactly? Other than helping Virginia restaurants? [/quote]

VA resident here. We drove to DC specifically because of the mandate.[/quote]  
And many others drove to VA to be able to eat indoors, so, I suppose highways getting busier with unnecessary dining traffic is the only "advantage"  :-o

Also DC relies on tourism and has lots of foreign visitors, not all are vaxed or have CDC approved vaccines available to them in their countries. Tourists don't want to deal with vax passports either[/quote]

There will always be people from the suburbs who get tired of Applebees and drive into the city for dinner, mandate or not.[/quote]

NOVA burbs are not the land of Applebees... but whatever.  People will always drive to dine or go out, but at least they would do this for other reasons than having to be denied entry like some dirty untouchables low caste citizens.  This policy has not helped the cities that implemented them one bit.  NYC was swamped with Covid despite all the mandates that they have even on little kids.  It was idiotic to implement them in DC in mid Jan in the first place. It did nothing but cause extra work and lost revenue for local restaurants and hotels. [/quote]
