They also aren't paying attention on restrictions, Southern states have had reliatively few restrictions to begin with, and also don't regularly enforce those that are in effect.

I routinely leave friends of mine from up north floored when I talk about the fact that we don't have the 6 feet apart floor markers in stores down here.

I live in Charlotte, NC and mask usage and distancing has been ~90%+ by my estimation since summer 2020. The second I leave Mecklenburg County it's less than half of that. Maybe it's different in deep south cities, but as usual in the 21st century the cultural/intellectual divide seems to me to be more-so urban/rural than it is northern/southern.

I havent seen a maskless face inside a store in months. Granted, the grocery stores, especially trader joes are HYPER vigilant, and i usually feel judged just walking from my car to the entrance without my mask on.

Interestingly, my family has gone on walks at Mcalpine park when the greenway at piper glen is muddy and i think outdoor mask usage is higher there than at Piper Glen, which i was surprised by.

Anyway, i agree in my area its basically 100% inside stores.

Yeah it’s very different here. Even the large chains won’t say anything if you go in without a mask. Only places they are straight up required here are schools and health care facilities. You can also sit right on top of each other without issue.

Some AState games I’ve been to have been so lax about distancing and masks you wouldn’t know we were in a pandemic.

By Fall well over 50 percent of the adult population will be vaccinated. It is over 13 percent now. If we aren t at full capacity in Sept I will be surprised

What about the full experience, pre-game activities, tailgating, etc? Do you guys think schools will allow this?

Schools are currently planning to operate everything as normal with full capacity and tailgating etc.

Do I think that will be universal throughout college football? No.

certainly each state is going about the panic differently but here in Texas the gov. has mostly gone by hospitalization % and now those are all down and there is even a glut of test kits and other related stuff left over so here you are not forced to wear a mask but lots of folks still do. in Texas they have already opened vaccinations down to 50 yrs. old and I think tomorrow they start allowing all adults so if you feel the need, you can get the shots. we have never worn masks but bought a bunch of those neck sleeves and keep one handy when going out to eat or to a public event in case the restaurant or ballpark has their own rules. things around here were never totally shut down but now stuff seems to be getting quickly back to normal..I think the Rangers are planning full attendance when the MLB season starts. they will probably make some money selling those cardboard fans.

It will be very much a cultural thing. New York has already announced they are going to require proof of vaccination to attend sporting events.

The issue is that the US is divided culturally just as much regionally. New York's idea of how to successfully resume attending sporting events is going to be very different from Texas.

That doesn't mean any single method is right, it just means that we may see a situation where as a league there are certain away games our teams will play that we may not have access to this year, while home games don't provide that problem. Its not that Covid will be gone in the fall, but that it will likely be circulating at low levels with methods of prevention and treatment available, meaning it suddenly becomes a matter of tolerance culturally

Depends on where you are. Around Little Rock and the Fayetteville-Bentonville corridor not a lot of mask non-compliance unless you go to stores or chain restaurants popular among the people “going to town”. Rural areas you are a weirdo for wearing a mask. In the fall went to Jasper and there are four restaurants in town that are more than a dairy bar. Two followed the rules other violated the seating limits and only mask we saw was being worn as chin strap and we turned around and left. Didn’t try the other.

If you check for vaccine the cities it’s hard to find. Small towns you can often find same day appointments.

I had that experience. I got an appointment for a vaccine back in Jonesboro in February after a 24 hour wait. The next day I had a friend call to rail about how awful Arkansas was for not making vaccines easy to sign up for etc because his Dad couldn't get an appointment in Little Rock after weeks of looking.

After explaining how to do it, his father got an appointment in Cabot 2 days later.

Access to a vaccination in Arkansas has often depended on your ability to be willing to work the system a bit. The people I know who have struggled often were insistent on not cutting in line or stealing from another city's supply, while others gladly cut in front of them without issue.

RE: Are other Belt schools selling football tickets with no capacity limits?
I got my second shot yesterday. The pharmacist giving it said they have found one Pfizer shot gives 80% immunity after a month. When they thought the vaccine was going to be scarce they considered just using one shot. Now the vaccine seems to be plentiful they dropped that idea. He said they didn't want any vaccines shipped in this week and still got some. People aren't taking advantage like they thought. Now that its been lowered to all adults that may change some. I am not sure young'uns will take it. Supposedly in the real world the vaccine is about 90% effective but no one who had the shots and got covid have been hospitalized.
