I drive for Lyft on the weekends and there was a huge drop in riders since the proof of vaccination mandate. The few tourists I picked up were pretty pissed about the mandate.

You hear a lot of people saying, "well, it's no big deal really." I'm vaccinated. I don't really care too much about giving my "health information." I've been to a few places since then, though, and there's just something really off-putting about this 'show your papers' deal that now I feel is causing me pause anytime I think I might stop in to get a beer or a bite to eat anywhere in Orleans. There's just a real creepy vibe about it all that I find myself thinking, I'm not really in the mood to have to do this right now, or let's go eat somewhere in Jefferson instead.
