GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Lehigh valley health networks, St lukes and good shepherd rehab are now requiring employees to be vaccinated. A customer who works for st lukes said they were giving a $700 bonus for employees who get vaccinated and like 85% got vaxxed and that’s all employees. Not bad at all.

Yes. talking to a colleague at another shop, he said they have a few out now with Covid, and their vax rate is probably 25%, which really surprised me. So, i guess we are pretty fortunate to have what i think is a vax rate of about 75%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) I heard Philly brought back indoor mask mandates and there are now several Philly restaurants that require a vaccine card to serve patrons indoors. If I owned a restaurant I would not be that strict with my patrons, especially after the terrible hit that industry took last year.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Wawa is still the only store I go to that requires a mask and mask usage is less at wawa than almost anywhere. I’m loving not having to wear a mask on these hot days like last summer when I was wearing them outdoors with customers. I also have customers who were maskless a month ago and now wearing masks in my office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Mask usage out here in AZ is minimal. Even in the mall, target etc. Pretty much no one wears them although there are signs on the highway that say "you can end COVID19. Get vaccinated.

Hopefully your daughter has a more normal college experience. Have your younger kids visited Arizona yet? I remember when I went away to college 24 years ago, my uncle who’s a big pothead told me to stay away from the pot..honestly the binge drinking in college was worse than weed.

Schif Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Got an email yesterday laying out the plans for the fall. 93% of Villanova is vaccinated. No masks required at all outside. Vaccinated students and faculty will not be required to wear masks indoors. Unvaccinated students and faculty will be required to wear masks indoors. Visitors to campus regardless of vaccination status will be required to wear masks indoors. All facilities will be open at full capacity. Unvaccinated students and faculty will be subjected to twice weekly testing. It's looking good for some basketball games for me this year!

Popular Post Zonked Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Happy to report we had a normal indoor wedding! It was my biggest concern this year but we had no issues. Feel like I should play the lottery. Philly indoor mask mandate went into effective Thursday at midnight, our wedding was Friday. It ended up not being a huge deal. The venue asked to see vaccination cards as guests arrived for the ceremony. If the guests could provide proof they were able to remain mask free. The few guests who could not provide proof were told to keep their masks on except when eating and drinking at the table. The event manager did tell me off record there was no way for them to enforce it (nor would they) once the wedding started but the few people who were not vaccinated did in fact wear their masks for majority of the wedding. Being selfish - I'm just happy I was able to have a normal wedding with no COVID issues. I'm pretty darn lucky. 9 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
