D&D and the rising pandemic

True but that requires playing hardball and gets back to what I said about indirect pressure.
Hasn't really been done since FDR?

FDR was willing to checkmate the opposition to the betterment of the general welfare.

Yep but that was also a different time.

Can't serve 4 terms anymore, 40 odd years where they could checkmate the powers wanting to dismantle it etc.

Then you've got a bigger problem than COVID noncompliance.

I wasn't talking about revolts just they take the concept of sanctuary cities and apply it to their own beliefs. It's not letting me you can round up tens of millions of non complying citizens and vaccinate them.

Law says one thing people do something else. Drugs are illegal right?

Edit: This is landing well in politics, but I'll just say you're comparing apples to oranges there, Zardnaar and leave it at that. The two situations are not comparable in law.

I'm saying the law is irrelevant if you can't enforce it.

Going by what we've seen last year or so the anti vaxxers won't obey.

And does anyone here believe they will make vaccines mandatory?

Not saying they shouldn't but that they won't and even if they do enforcement will be impossible.

Then use two cases of states breaking the law in your examples. I think you believe you did, but you didn't.

Probably can't due to the rules of the forums. City level not state.

I'm also arguing hypothetically. I think it's a moot point due to I doubt they will make vaccines mandatory any time soon.

Masks are to stop you infecting other yes?

And they're not 100% effective either afaik they just help was what I thought.

If delta gets out here there goes the game night and dining out. Mmmnnn pasta.

If everyone is wearing a mask, there's approximately a 70% reduction in transmission.

Still leaves a 30% gap.

Not claiming wearing mask is useless but there's a big obvious explaination here.

That's why Germany requires medical masks since our 3rd wave and community masks are no longer enough to be in line with c19 rules
