Permanent Industry Changes in the Post-COVID World

[abc]

I would be all-for public recognition of being vaccinated. I think would be put a lot more at-ease if they went to the grocery store and saw, say, 1 out of every 5 people were vaccinated, or that, in this case, the person riding the ski chair with them was vax'ed.

Of course there's no actual way to do this, and I'm sure most would be opposed.

Actually, it can be done... it's perfectly practical to put a sign to say "All Staff are vaccinated"!

But in reality, that's going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. A lot of people who wish to be vaxed are still having difficulty finding an appointment. Not to mention many more are not even eligible yet. I know. Before I got jabbed, I was real jealous of those who had it. So I don't think I'd like to see a bunch of people sporting a "I'm vaccinated" t-short.

I’m not a fan of the vaccine virtue signaling. I think it’s ok that some people don’t want it. I don’t want one. Shaming people that don’t want one or glorifying those that do is lame. It’s a way to control people and it seems like we are headed down a slippery slope.

I’m over this whole thing. Most of the rules businesses are following to appease authorities are mostly BS. Wearing masks in the lift line even though I’m at least 8 feet from anyone around me is silly. I’ve already had covid and a year later was heavily exposed to it again but I didn’t get sick. I feel like my body has built up plenty of antibodies. I know people will say that I’m wishful thinking or that I can’t know for sure but I know enough to trust my gut about some things.

Anyways, it’s time to move on and end the fear culture that covid has created. This is now getting ridiculous.

I agree. The hysteria has gotten out of hand.

I've noticed vaccinated people the last couple weeks have been far more willing to ride up on a chair with you. Hopefully a sign of things to come. Lines have been pretty obnoxious at times this year with chairs not going up full

Everyone out here is over it and fine with grouping up on the chairs, vaccinated or not.

I’m at the point where, I feel that if it’s my time, it’s my time. I refuse to live in fear.

When I had the vid in January of 2020 it was the sickest I’ve ever felt in my life. It seemed like it was trying to kill me for sure but I’m still kicking.

Do they tell you they are vaxed? Carry a card? Wear a pin?

No, these have all generally been older people. Thankfully we're not to the point of having to carry a card yet but I'm sure it's coming. I'm sure they could have been lying, but I doubt it, Either way I'm fine with riding the chair with people

I don't see it as virtue signaling. If a single in line were to say to me "can I ride up with you and FYI i've been fully vaccinated" to me that seems like more of a gesture of courtesy to let the other person know they are most likely safe and not going to give you COVID. Same thing goes with things like scheduling a business meeting or haircut.

Most of us are "over it" the fatigue is real. The best way to get past it is to get the majority of the population vaccinated. Do the right thing for society and for yourself. Get jabbed when it is available to you.

Sounds like I may be in the minority here but I like talking to other people/groups on the gondola although taking off the skis sucks

Can't even find many people who want to share a quad chair this season and people look at you funny for suggesting it

I enjoy chatting with and meeting new people. Being in a small closed box with some dude who has a cold? Not so much.

The "vaccine passport" won't be implemented at a government level here in the US, but for sure private business could decide to as for such a thing. Already a number or cruise lines are indicating proof of vaccination will be a requirement for guests, at least in the near term.

I work in healthcare. I don't see proof of vaccination happening for hospital visits, but very much do for hospital employees and contractors like myself. Almost all major hospitals use credentialing services with large databases that keep track of all of your personal records as a contractor. The largest such service already has a request out for me to upload my CDC vaccination card.

Hospital visitors I see still having to be verbally screened with a temperature check for a very long time.

No CDC Vacc Cards at our MA Hospitals.

Yes - you get an a 1 page document on Hospital Stationary stating Name, B-Day, Employee #, Dose #, Vacc Date, Brand, Lot #
BUT nothing from the CDC or other Federal organization

I agree, we saw a preview of that with ticketmaster too. The government wont have to mandate it because private business eventually will

That's interesting. I was vaccinated at a Mass General Brigham facility in Mass and they provided me a CDC card.

Do you mean that the hospitals you are doing work for are not asking you for your vaccination card, or your hospital is not giving them out? Curious as I literally don't know one person in Mass who has been vaccinated who was not given the CDC card when they got their jab.

I do a lot of business with food manufacturing and processing facilities. I don't see that screening ever going away in that industry.

yankee stadium is opening this season at 20% capacity with proof of vaccination or recent test results required.

They should open at 100% if they are requiring proof of vaccination. Although they should not accept recent test results because as soon as you are tested you could contact it.

Temperature checks, last I saw any data on the subject, didn't seem particularly effective against covid-19--the reporting I saw indicated that something like 2/3 of the patients hospitalized for covid at participating facilities never showed a significant fever.

However, if your temperature is over 100 degrees, that seems to suggest that perhaps you shouldn't be congregating with other people, whether the fever is covid-related or not.

 

[Harvey]

I kind of down on the whole posting it on social media. People are happy and can't control themselves, ok I get it. Ooh look at Johnny he's good to go! I wish I was him.

I'm not going to do anything extra-ordinary to get to the head of the line. When they call me I'll go.

Then again I've had covid so maybe it's "not fair" of me to be basically unworried.

 

[raisingarizona]

I hope we don’t have to carry a card. I’ll end up losing mine. I’d much prefer micro chips and bar code neck tattoos.
