When you can't buy groceries without that it's well beyond the time to turn your heart black as coal.

I still don't think they have the balls to actually cross the red line. Not this time around, anyway. It's looking like we will at least see travel restrictions, and some of the bluer states might mandate it for school attendance (MA recently used COVID as an excuse to make the flu shot mandatory, so obviously science has no bearing on policy), but I don't think any state will make it compulsory for adults without some kind of exemption. Employers might - we've seen plenty of companies virtue signal themselves to death for less.

There's a yellow line in there somewhere, though. Something that would make plain that they have every intention of crossing the red line in the not-too-distant future. Something that would not be justification for most people to start checking off their dance card, but would serve as a clear warning to finish filling it out. That line will be in different places for different people, of course. Grocery stores and schools are probably well across it for most, even if online alternatives or conscientious exemptions were available.

I've been dreading this all year. The foot is in the air and I'm anxious to see where it lands.
