    Permanent Industry Changes in the Post-COVID World

    I hope more outdoor seating ,more food trucks, more open windows on building and shuttle buses. Not easy, but more space in lodges would be good. I hope added outdoor seating could reduce crowding in lodges.

    Half of all US *adults* are fully vaccinated.

    Pretty sure it's less than 50% fully vaccinated at the moment.

    Wild. It's wild that you left out something very important - particularly indoors: those recommendations are for people who are vaccinated. I do care if you haven't gotten vaccinated and are indoors with other people, particularly with people I know but also with people in general. I'm allowed...

    I don't care much about opinions. I care about behavior. Give how much people may lie, it'll be great if ski areas keep requiring masks indoors until the infections rates are super-low.

    This is some wild stuff and helps explain how we have over half a million people die and tens of millions be infected. in this country. Thanks for explaining it so well.

    If they don't want to get a vaccine, I understand, but lying to other people so they can be indoors near those other people possibly helping spread the disease is totally selfish. It's horrendous. You want to be indoors, then do your part to not spread the disease. This is basic human decency.

    The shaming seems legit when we didn't know for sure how the disease is transmitted. In a time of that uncertainty, with something that's killed 580K, it makes sense. My fear now is that people will rag on me for wearing a mask outside. Masks have plenty of other benefits than just preventing...

    It's funny how some guys think talking shit shows how tough they are, when it really shows their insecurity.

    Hmmmm. I guess that's why this is cool here, in this thread:

    For all I know those words *are* acceptable here. I sure didn't say they're not - I noted them as gendered. If that being pointed out bothers you, perhaps think about why that is.

    No, read that thread from my first comment. I made a request (with the word "please") to avoid a word that in other contexts is a slur (making clear that it was not intended that way in the post). Well a bunch of dudes were TRIGGERED for being asked to be considerate. They flipped out. I was...

    So people can hurl insults at me and I shouldn't sharply call it out? Mentioning gendered insults is not light enough but being called a drama queen is OK? Got it. Thanks.

    Noting the gendered nature of the two insults ("jokes"?) you've thrown in the last day.
