Well, at least now I know never to use the phrase again. LOL

First, I’d like to say that this thread is NOT about vaccine mandates

Thanks, Jr. Mod.

@RitterSport

It’s about the opposite – using incentives to get people to get the vaccine.

Carrot are also effective in the presence of sticks

Feel free to report my post if you think I’ve stepped out of bounds.

I agree that carrots and sticks both work. With the title (hey, do want this treat of a cracker?), and the first post talking about the incentives that Chicago is using, I figured this thread is about the carrots. I think that’s an interesting discussion, but the back and forth about the legality of mandates seems like it should be in another thread.

This is a fair point and I actually had to go back and look to make sure that I didn’t start it. I’m happy to say that I spoke to it only as a response to someone else whose name shall not be mentioned.

We are off on a short cruise soon. My wife can show evidence of her vax status on her phone via the NHS app. I can’t, because my phone is an antique, so I have a paper certificate from the NHS.

We have to provide proof of a negative test taken three days prior to departure as well. (The cruise company are paying for that).

That’s quite common when leaving the country. My SiL had to have some kind of revved up COVID test (not the simple swab) and book her flight on Ethiopian Airlines within that same 72 hour window. Even though everyone on the plane tested negative within a 72 hour window, they made them wear masks all those hours on the plane! Even after all of that, they had to pass a COVID test before being allowed out of the airport in Ethiopia itself.
