For shit and giggles, they'll track them for the next week to get a pattern of their behavior.
Hell, supermarkets do that with their shoppers, tracking what isles they are on, where they stop, how long they spend in different isles and departments.

(16,069 posts)With these anti vaxers. My sister was 70 on Wednesday n I did not go visit b/c my 45 n 40 year old niece n nephew are not vaxxed ..even tho my sister has pleaded with them. Im sick of living my life avoiding people and places b/c of their selfishness. I consider myself a caring person but thats wearing very thin. They need to be ID d or separation may have to be an issue. This s a global pandemic and some just dont care and are being reckless. I really dont know the answer but were gonna be at this for a while..that, I do know.

(22,546 posts)Speaking from experience, as a retired direct care provider, intubation is physically damaging second only to extubation.
Sometimes the voice and the ability to properly swallow are permanently adversely affected by these two dangerous, but life saving procedures which aren't always successful on the first try. Not at all, like on TV.
Thanks for the reply.

(43,027 posts)Last December, I got a lecture from an older friend that she wasn't going to stop her life or use a mask. There were places open without masks, in defiance of state order. "God's in charge," she said. "If He decides it's my time, He'll let me know."
By June she has been vaccinated. But still Trumping along otherwise.
So I thought most rational people would finally relent and get vaccinated. I guess the operational word is "rational".

All trumpets I hope. Eliminate the weakest link of the herd. The really stupid of the herd. Buh-Bye now. Hurry on along. School, college games, pro games, massive travel state to state. Better get toilet paper, we gonna be deep in shit. Willfully No Vax, zero health insurance, no admittance into hospitals. Mass graves, burn remains to kill any residue of virus. Fuck em.

... hospitalizations now are at levels unseen since January.
Souza again implored the public to get vaccinated, which significantly reduces the risk of infection and severe illness.
In the fall and winter, the original coronavirus variant spread less quickly, making hot spots flare up and then die down in one place after another. The faster spreading delta variant seems to be hitting wide swaths of the U.S. at the same time.
Souza said two patients recently admitted to St. Lukes with COVID-19 were transported to Boise from Tillamook, Oregon, and from Oklahoma ...

With COVID-19 cases in Oklahoma rising and school starting next week, a group of parents and physicians are fighting back against Senate Bill 658, which bans mask mandates in schools. The group has filed suit against state of Oklahoma and Gov. Kevin Stitt, alleging that SB 658 is unconstitutional under state law.
The plaintiffs are the Oklahoma State Medical Association, along with parents across the state, including those whose children live with serious medical conditions and are at high-risk for COVID-19. The group is considering seeking temporary injunctive relief, as other states plaintiffs have successfully done so while challenging policies in court.
Senate Bill 658 states that school districts may not have mask mandates unless Governor Stitt declares a state of emergency. As of last week, Governor Stitts office has confirmed that despite rising COVID-19 cases across Oklahoma, he remains unmoved, with no plans to declare a statewide emergency ...
