People who text (or talk depending on how) while they drive put people at risk who haven't assumed it. People who produce and promote the myriad food offerings that contribute largely to chronic disease in what is supposed to be the richest, most technologically advanced country in the world put people at risk who haven't assumed it. People who send their children to school when they have a fever, are sneezing, coughing, etc. put people at risk who haven't assumed it. People who create large amounts of unnecessary waste including using an excessive amount of plastic and treating non renewable resources as their privilege put people at risk who haven't assumed it. Because covid is acutely present and "interrupting our lives" all of a sudden "the greater good" is a priority?! Please. These came quickly off the top of my head - I am sure there are MANY more things that are done and ignored daily that puts people who haven't assumed it , at risk. Injecting something that has the possibility of harm (however small and without a guarantee of 100% effectiveness) must be a choice. |

Maybe we should all attend the National as "Bubble Boys". Then we can ditch the masks and vaccinations, so everyone can be at ease...

I don't see any ironies or think there is a concept of the greater good in anything anyone does. We should all be fairly certain by now that nobody cares about the greater good in any capacity.
Still, it doesn't hurt anyone to wear a mask and I do believe people feel respected when you wear your mask in their presence. |

This doesn't look problematic in the slightest. No sir.

So the idiot who went to Sturgis gave it to a guy who has never stepped foot in South Dakota. The decisions we make can affect other people. Why that is such a difficult thing for people to grasp with a communicable disease I don't know. |

As the vaccine has arrived and is now fairly readily available, I'm comfortable with allowing the Covid virus and it's many future variants to come and play evolutionary maker.
Anyone who is stupid enough to believe their freedom of not taking a vaccine (that will save their lives) - is more important than living the rest of their days - is a poor addition to the human species and its need to imagine a better future. Y'all can die out and remove a little of that moronic DNA from our futures, we all good. I won't make you keep breathing....please just do us tax payers a solid and fill out a 'do not assist me as I struggle to sieve air through my drowning lungs, I wish not to avail myself of this medical witchery that is being peddled by lefty gun stealing non fracking tree huggers'. Win win all round. |

Yep. I know people who have the same attitude about abortion - go for it. They think the more abortions performed, the fewer democrats around to mess things up. I've had both shots, so it doesn't matter to me who gets vaccinated and who doesn't. If I'm immune then I can be around people who aren't. I'm willing to play the odds that if I'm vaccinated I can be around others who choose not to get it. To each his own. |
It will be early June when the final decision is made.

Are you guys bickering about that virus that has a 99.7% survival rate? Or the one that has “supposedly” killed less than 1% of the US population?

This is watercooler stuff, like who's your favorite 80's hair band, or do you believe in a higher power? Oprah channel stuff.

Well that went downhill!
Hopefully we can get to a point where we can all be comfortable going to a show together again and remember we have a lot in common. |

So if the National is cancelled, there goes the PIZZA!

I’ve already had to make plans so the fact they can’t say yes or no at this point means I can’t go. So it is already costing some attendance. On the other hand - if it is a go- it’ll be jam packed regardless due to the excitement in the hobby.

IT's sad that collectors like Eric will have to miss the National, but no matter when it is held, it will likely break records for attendance similar to the Anaheim show so many years ago. So, if the attendance will have to be limited, it might make more sense to reschedule it until full attendance can be guaranteed. Even then, it might be difficult to get everyone in daily. It would be advisable to show up early each day.
I haven't set up at a show since August 2019, but I have had substantial sales anyway -- in fact, 2020 ranks as one of the top three years (out of 46 years) I have had in sales and profits. Who would have thought? Especially from a vintage only dealer -- for the most part, I cut off at 1975. Hopefully we will all get a reprieve soon and shows will become possible all over the country.

[QUOTE=Leon;2098343]I get my second shot tomorrow. I am still wearing a mask most times. In Texas, most places it's not mandatory. Some it still is but not most. It's suggested to but not mandated even where I workout.

She won't budge for now and says she might get one in the future. To each their own I guess. Exactly, to each their own. I refuse to wear a mask also. Expecting a surgical mask or a gator to protect you from a virus that’s nanometers small is like relying on a chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes. They’re plain theatre. Just my two cents. |
