Minnesota State Fair urges but doesn't require masks, vaccination

[question everything]

Masks and vaccinations will not be required at the Minnesota State Fair this summer, but both are encouraged to limit coronavirus transmission during the 12-day event.

While fair leaders weighed mandates in the face of a growing COVID-19 wave, they envisioned enforcement problems and opted for a voluntary approach because the mostly outdoor environment reduces transmission risks anyway.

So if you go, you are on your own.

2. Gonna skip it this year.

Even outside, too many people are too close together. And if the gunners are successful....

4. But they gotta carry the gunz, you know, because there are dangers out there!!

7. If the fair is too dangerous to attend without packing heat, why the hell go at all?

8. And my point was that the Covid in the air can easily kill them. Against the

unknown and unlikely danger, they will fight tooth and nail to have access to the gun, which is statistically dangerous to own.

For the known and definite danger, they ALREADY have access to the thing that will save them, which carries a miniscule risk, and they refuse it.

6. I was planning to go

(even have my traditional "State Fair Day" pto approved).

But I've been rethinking that & leaning "No" for the last couple weeks. This decision pretty well seals the deal for me & as noted above, if the gun nuts win their case, it may be hard pass forever.

And I was so looking forward to fried olives.
