I could see that, I guess. But that shouldn't be an issue for too much longer.

Masks and social distancing have largely been dropped for NC! Hooray!!!
I was at the gym and they made the announcement and everybody threw their mask off and started jumping around

Well, is it a vaccine if it doesn't prevent infection? The claim by the developers is that it has efficacy in reducing the severity of symptoms, not preventing disease. You can even spread Covid to others while you're symptomatic, even if "vaccinated". Also, this doctor has some really good points:

"The prominent physician dismisses the notion that a coronavirus vaccine so hasitily developed could be safe."

Imo I’m still gonna wear my mask in a few places, especially crowded events, but that’s slowly gonna go away with time tbh

That was fast. The harris teeter I go to has been 90%+ mask wearing. Just went in there and it was less than 50%.
You da man! Treat yourself to anything you pictured earlier! I think WFH would be awesome during normal times its lost its shine during these times

Lmao your gym wore masks ? We never did that at mine ahaha
Yes in North Carolina you're supposed to wear a mask or the gym or would kick you out.. I got kicked out of a gym back in my fall for not wearing one.

My dad wears a mask while he's doing the stairmaster at the gym lol, and when I was complaining about wearing one bothering my breathing late last summer, he pointed that out.
He says he's never not wearing one again...frankly I don't believe him, but that's what he says (he's fully vaccinated, said that the main reason why he chose to go along with it is because of the potential for loss of smell haha).
But like I said earlier today, I don't really care about wearing a mask (I was able to adjust, but did I ever wear one outside unless I was going into a place, no, did I ever wear one to work out, no). I don't consider doing so to be conforming because there are masks that have sports teams on them or different patterns. It'd be conforming if it was "everyone must wear a mask that has a certain color". (I talked to somebody about this a month back and they agreed) When I can stop wearing one I likely will but it's kind of crazy to me that this became a symbol for many.
Edit: Off topic to here, something that I do consider to be conforming is school uniforms. I had to wear them up to the 6th grade and there was one time where I got some attention just because I had on capris (I believe) that had a different shade of blue than the blue that was wanted. But then my school district dropped all uniform requirements (two more years and it wouldn't have mattered though for me). It was seemingly not enforced well but on days I wore something different, it was "me" that got the attention and not anybody else.

Those of you that had Covid and then got vaccinated, how bad were the 2 shots? I know everyone is different, I’ve heard some say the first shot for Covid survivors can be as rough as the 2nd shot side effects that a lot get. I’ll be able to get mine May 24th, that be my 90 day after getting regeneron. I’m hoping maybe the vaccine will do like some other Covid long haulers and it help or take away lingering symptoms. I’m definitely nervous, but I also don’t want Covid again. Dr drew labs yesterday and going to check for antibodies again even tho it’s been a month since they checked and I had them.
I know a friend of a friend that got the first shot, then about a week later, came down with the virus ( very minor symptoms, loss of taste for about a day). They were told to go ahead and get the 2nd vaccine when it was time! That’s some bad luck!
