[NFB-Talk] Mask Mandates

[Karen Rose]

First Mark, glad you are feeling better! :-) Second, while the moderator has rightly shut down this discussion, I am wondering if anyone has received and tried out the accessible Covid tests? So far I have only seen one post on this and it seem to indicate difficulties. I am so thrilled to know that there are accessible tests out there – that someone has heard our cry for them – but I am wondering just how accessible they are as yet?

This is unlike people I know who weren't vaccinated in time and became extremely sick for weeks on end.  These are choices that do impact other people, whether we recognize that fact or not. I guess we've gotten way off the track and I do apologize for starting that by my talking about my positive test a couple days ago, but it was a rude awakening to see so many people test positive at the end of the convention. Maybe our leadership will need to rethink the idea of an in-person convention next year if the present uptick continues.  Just my opinion.
