They either stop going, or move to another pool, because their mothers taught them to hush and not tell other people how to act.

Neither group is really right or wrong. Some people, I will say a lot of people are losing their hearing and come to the pools without their hearers so they aren't offended, the sound is a soft sound to them. Some people enjoy it. Some people have hyperacusis and loud sounds affect them and make them irritable.

I say. Merry Christmas. We have the vaccine that is 94% EFFECTIVE that will soon be available to all of us over 65. That means in essence the Pandemic will be over and we don't have to listen to people saying it is a conspiracy from the Chinese and that we are a bunch of paranoid stupid old people who probably are gonna die soon anyway.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope you have something yummy to eat today and someone to share it with. xoxoxo

As regards the vaccine - I notice that some non-healthcare people were the 1st to get it here locally.
