    Quoted from pinlink:

    Good point. The vax prevents you from getting covid
    Sorry, I mean, the vax only prevents you from going to the hospital if you get covid
    Sorry, I mean that the vax only prevents you from dying from covid...maybe! lol

    The kind of willful ignorance this post represents, not to mention the amount of people who have liked it, is precisely why we're still in this mess when we could have and should have been out of it a few months ago. Vaccines work, no vaccine is 100% effective, and the purpose of the COVID-19 vaccine is to keep you out of the hospital and alive. This is all peer reviewed information that's readily available yet here we are...

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I don't love it, but that's the requirement in Chicago (the entire city), so the show has no choice. And I'd like to go to Expo.
    Not the end of the world.
    I pity the people being tasked with enforcing this. I'm sure there will be a lot of idiots stirring up trouble and being belligerent, especially as it gets later and people get drunker. Try not to be "that guy," people.

    I agree and I’m no anti-masker but I wear one enough, so on my days off I’d rather do something that doesn’t require it. I’ll wait until restrictions are lifted, I get my fill of maskless pinball.

    Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

    A good cleaning regimen is definitely a good idea - a quick swipe with rubbing alcohol or another cleaning agent would help keep a LOT of things from spreading. However it’s probably good to remember that COVID doesn’t spread from touching things - it’s airborne.

    It is most certainly possible to contract COVID (and most viruses) from touching an infected surface within hours, then touching your face, nose, mouth, eyes.

    Lighten up Francis.

    I wore a mask when asked. I'm vaxxed and had my booster. I still chuckled at the post. I'm just tired of Covid and a little sarcasm isn't hurting anyone.

    There isn't misinformation, denial, or ignorance in the post.

    Agree 100% with this!!

    Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

    I have not let COVID hold back my life aside from the first month of paranoia when the virus hit and everything was closed. I hit up Crabtown USA for pinball the day they let restaurants open back up in Maryland. My kids are in school (but forced to mask up by the school). I did everything short of licking the flipper buttons at Allentown and York. I'm not sick and have not gotten sick. I go to work everyday, shop, and carry on life as always. However, I am young and healthy with no risk factors.
    Were I older, had health concerns, or close family with issues I would button down the hatches. If you want to, you are more than welcome to with no ill will from me. I am under the impression that most of us are going to get COVID sooner or later. I am not going to live my life in mortal fear of it.
