    One of the more dishonest tweets I've seen even coming from you. I just looked at the Mayo data from 7.25 to 9.19. In what world can you say with a straight face that any of these states (Texas and Florida especially) have any sort of safe Covid conditions???

    Your attributed comment from Fauci too is dishonest. This comment was likely taken from his early September interview when asked about the Florida game. Why would any health professional say that it is smart to pack in side by side with thousands of unvaccinated people screaming in each others faces without a mask? However he did make a comment about ventilation being important, and the issue of before and after events.

    By now I think everyone shouldn't be able to say with a straight face that the GOVERNMENT (scarrrryy.... word I know) is taking away your fun time. The American right is full of whiny cry babies. The more you are given, the more you complain.

    I thought FL was already in the dark age?

    Idaho to ration care amid COVID-19 surge | TheHill

    Idaho on Thursday announced that it is activating a system for rationing medical care statewide amid a surge in COVID-19 cases that is overwhelming hospitals.

    The system, known as Crisis Standards of Care, allows hospitals to prioritize for care healthier people who are more likely to recover.

    "Someone who is otherwise healthy and would recover more rapidly may get treated or have access to a ventilator before someone who is not likely to recover," the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare said in a statement explaining the system.

    “The situation is dire — we don’t have enough resources to adequately treat the patients in our hospitals, whether you are there for COVID-19 or a heart attack or because of a car accident," said Dave Jeppesen, the director of the Idaho health department.

    "The best way to end crisis standards of care is for more people to get vaccinated," he noted, while also calling for people to wear masks indoors in public.

    The move in Idaho shows the damage the surge in COVID-19 cases is having on the health care system, particularly in areas with low vaccination rates. The overwhelming majority of people in hospitals with COVID-19 are unvaccinated.

    Idaho has one of the lowest vaccination rates of any state: 60 percent of adults have at least one shot, compared to 76 percent nationally, according to a New York Times tracker.

    Hospitalizations are spiking in the state. More than 600 people are in the hospital with COVID-19, compared to 170 at the beginning of August, according to the tracker.

    Idaho had previously activated Crisis Standards of Care for the northern part of the state, but on Thursday expanded it to the whole state as the situation worsens.

    Do we know anything about who else was in the room when each of these pictures were taken?

    Yet another ill informed tweet, now polluting this website.

    Both were vaccinated, and one has already has already been infected and recovered. We know that vaccination helps, and that having been infected helps even more. Science rates that interaction as safe.

    Why were they wearing masks and distancing in one instance and not the other?

    indoor mask mandate for all federal employees, regardless of vaccination status or who is in the room

    Good to see commodore is suddenly in favor of 100% masking and vaccination requirements and not just trying to play "gotchas" with small and random instances caught on camera.

    It's not gotchas, it shows the hypocrisy of this administration and their policies that they recommend/enforce, but do not follow themselves. It happens daily.

    My guess would be about the people near them or close to them. I wasn't there and can't say for certain. What I can say is that the picture isn't necessarily against the science which is what the tweet was trying to claim.

    It's a crap argument meant to cause people to doubt the science behind the preventative measures.
