#1 When non working public school teachers were prioritized (to receive the vaccination) the general public understood the "fairness" of the distribution. I live rural and this is the first I've heard of "tension". Just a made up story by the NYP for suckers.

#3 I predict in a few months they won't be able to give it away. The people scrambling now are frightened. But a lot of us are over this.

#5 #1 my bro in law is a teacher GA and had a massive heart attack a few years back. His status as teacher was prioritized over the his medical history, pushing him forward in the line

#7 Federal, state, local health authorities and medical centers have been expecting a vaccine for about a year now. They had a ton of time to get ready for this -- but somehow most of them didn't do it. Idiocracy is the rule now.

#8 I live in a rural town of 2700, china flu trending down heavily, not much vaccine around here but those who wanted it got it, for the most part

#9 This is a super scary virus killing billions and I need my shot so I'm going to drive from the infected cities to urban areas where the virus isn't so I can spread my search out and hopefully get mine.

Its a bit arrogant. I mean, if these people believe that much, yet have no qualms about driving around potentially spreading their diseases around, what is that?

Anyways, I have not experienced any tension from the city folk. 9/10 times they take their mask off and relax like people do after a 3 hour flight full of turbulence and an interesting landing.

#10 "drive from the infected cities to urban areas", I think you mean "rural" areas.........just sayin'

#12 Rural enough to keep track of the towns which didn't do masks even in school. Schools did just fine. Interesting control group, seems that when the parents who sent their sick kids to school anyways weren't able to do so is a real consideration for their success, next would be parents paying a bit more attention to whether their kid is feeling well where before they might be a bit in a hurry and not notice.

I'm not saying people in those towns didn't get sick, or didn't test positive for a covid. I'm saying the rate was not any more noticeable than anywhere else, which one must consider that school was not a spreader node.

#13 the teenage secret "parties" have done some damage here (not so easy to control those ones), but everyone gets over their Covid/common cold/whatever it was....

#14 Kids here mingle after school anyways, and the only time they have their masks on is in school or school related, and they are off like a graduation cap ASAP.

And I'm not saying what works out here will work in the cities. I would propose that whose schools who have been open and doing the mask thing are in the habit of hygiene - washing hands before eating especially finger food, not sucking their fingers or picking their eyes, sent home if running a fever no ifs or ands, even taking their shower as soon as they get home instead of later that evening - I say its time to de-mask. Those teenagers are frustrated and they don't know how to deal with frustration and it is manifesting as stupid party tricks or worse, severe depression. The younger kids are still learning facial expressions as emotional tools and how to talk by watching another's mouth and that education is being stunted.

Those kids who have been in house arrest for a year now, man I don't even know. How does a kid go from one year trapped at home, or longer, an entire year and counting being taught to hate their neighbor, to having to learn all the protocols - not being allowed in because you didn't know you had a fever, the constant hand washing and sanitizing until the skin starts to crack and bleed, being forced into plastic boxes, can't communicate in a meaningful way, Hall Karens doing a shark attack on anyone breaking mask discipline. Hell Week.

#16 Then again, looking at The Uncle Joe Education Goals, public school in blue areas may be worse.
