Help...traveling to Chicago, they have vax mandate and I'm not vaxxed

[jagee]

So, the Mrs and I are going to Chicago at the end of the month for a quick birthday getaway for her. (Don't try and talk me out of it...it's happening.) The problem is their new "fully vaccinated" mandate that went in to affect on Jan 3, 2022. I have had zero Covid shots, and plan to keep it that way. We won't even be able to get dinner the way I'm reading things.

I recently tested positive for the Rona and wonder if I could show that and say I had to wait to get vaxxed? Thoughts? Suggestions?

I believe definition of fully vaccinated now includes having had it. You may wish to confirm.

Sounds like you might wanna take along bologna for a back up.

Fake vax card?

When we went to Washington to visit the hubby's brother before he passed, there wasn't a single restaurant in Port Angeles that allowed dining in without a vaccination card. We ordered carry outs and went back to our hotel and ate. We drove all the way across the country and had zero requests for us to wear a mask or show a vax card until we got there. I would imagine you could order carry out or delivery to your hotel, but you may want to make sure the hotel doesn't have some sort of requirements in place.

I'm sure it's just my imagination, but when we were there a few years ago, it seemed like every person over the age of 50 between Sequim and Port Angeles was a retiree from the University of Washington campus system.

They're like Hawaiians, just less asian

Glad you were able to visit in time, family can take you places that one would usually avoid.

I wish you luck on your trip to the windy city. Hope they let you check into the hotel without a vax card. Sounds like take-out will be your best food option.

One more reason to hate Chicago and their broken priorities.

Good luck on your quest sir! Screw Chicago!

I'd be having a pretty frank conversation with the wifey to explain your reservations about spending time and money in a city that has made it clear they don't want you there.

Is there some other reason why "it's happening" other than she wants to go?

Strange how so many denizens of Chicago travel down to commit their crimes among the unclean Hoosiers, but are welcomed back into the warm embrace of Mayor Beetlejuice without so much as a cursory check.

 

[BigRed]

Good luck.

**** that ****hole.

We had a great time in Louisville between Christmas and New Years. Great food and entertainment. Just sayin…

 

[firecadet613]

Louisville, Lexington, St Louis. No vax card needed and constitutional carry...

Skip the cesspool known as Chicago...

Malone's on the east side of Louisville has great food and beverages...

 

[Hkindiana]

Florida is nice (AND welcoming)

I mean pretty simple here... Looks like you can't go and fully enjoy the time..

What's so hard about that?

There's rules, and restrictions, you refuse to comply soooooo what do you expect.

The Hill in St. Louis is packed with excellent family owned / operated Italian restaurants.

Not under this order covering Chicago.

Nashville Tn. is where I'd be going. Plenty to do and you won't freeze you junk off.

There is no reason to go to Chiraq.
