So you don't support a return to normalcy and want to stay locked down forever -- just to score political points. We get it. Naturally you have a problem with stadiums full of vaccinated fans seeing sporting events and concerts. Well you can stay locked up in your basement with the rest of the unvaccinated plague rats.
