No card? Then you can’t eat in here!

article image placeholderMinneapolis, St. Paul to require vaccine proof to get into bars, restaurants
So over the past couple of days and I guess into a week there has been a new restriction in my neck of the Woods within dining, you will now be required to show your proof of Vaccination or covid 19 testing results to be able to enter said area

So that does a little bit upset me. I guess you could say in regards to the state or city or whoever making rules. I think that if you don't want to shop somewhere, you don't go, and if you don't want to eat somewhere, you don't eat there because of certain things because they don't require testing or because they don't follow certain guidelines. So I think that it's like you said, a little unfair for these restaurants to be put in situations

We are in wild times, getting wilder by the minute 😕 @FryedOreo

Someone could ask you and you're supposed to be able to provide your ID and the card. But if it's the kind of place where they just have the sign and no one's asking that's their soft way of trying to follow the law, but also honoring that some people are not vaccinated won't be vaccinated. Maybe those are customers. They want to keep them

Logically this doesn't make sense

We know politicians, that's exactly what they're going to do. They're going to take credit for something that had absolutely no effect whatsoever. Secondly, this thing does not make sense logically or at least in my train of logic. And I'll take you down my train. So bear with me for a second. But the things that I believe to be true are that the Omicron variant of COVID is able to break through the vaccination

Thank you @JCB07 , @PKBriggs , and @Phil .

Yeah, they're being hurt because not a lot of people are dining in at their places and because they don't have a lot of people to serve these people, but they are countering it with limiting the staff to almost insane dwindling numbers to serve a ton of people. So moving forward also see how things go, but definitely nothing is stopping soon

Virtually none of the places that I went to in the city checked vaccination cards. I'm talking about bars and restaurants and whatnot sporting venues, theaters they did check. But come on, most restaurants are not checking these things. They've got bigger fish to Fry. They're trying to make their money. They don't know if they're going to be prevented from making money any time soon. It's not looking like we're getting government support anymore. So it is a confusing time

The illusions of freedom.

And some of these things are just the consequences that we face or have to experience in order to be a part of a functioning society. They serve multiple purposes to protect the individual, but also to help keep things in somewhat of order. Right. If you have children who were vaccinated at a young age, then we've been able to keep things like polio and smallpox, et cetera, at a minimum, because everyone at that starting point, for the most part, is required to be vaccinated

Thank you @Taylor and @SeekingPlumb .

And actually my kid's mother, she's had the incentive now to get all the kids vaccinated and under her roof. She has eleven kids. Yes. And it's $200 each kid. So she's going to get a nice Netflix. But then people are kind of getting frustrated about that, like, well, why should it be a dollar incentive to get vaccinated? And basically the government this is new territory for America, China and other countries like that

But what I really think is if they really gave a s*** about trying to reduce the spread and all that, they would be requiring people to show if they have a negative test result, not the vaccination, because we all know you can still carry it even if you're vaccinated. And maybe that's why they require the mask as well. But honestly, I think it's smarter to have to show a negative test result

And I do feel a lot of the time the average citizen is not well trained physician to know what is covet, what is a flu and what is fever. Sometimes they kind of will clump these things together. And what else did I want to mention? There still is no cure for the common cold. So a lot of people have missed, they assume incorrectly that the cold you take cold medicine, that it goes away. It doesn't go away that way

Yes, I totally now can see some people probably mistook me as one who is either unvaccinated guy or very spoiled in a sense of bawking at the idea of having to show my papers before I dine in. As I stated before, I understand this is common to practice in other parts of the world and how they are more zero tolerant in terms of combating COVID. But yeah, it's a lot of weird stuff
