Some people want permanent masking and quarantines. Those are generally people without young kids (or who have a nanny or a SAHP).

So they would want this forever because it's not like this will be going away. So y'all basically want everyone to never go out.

For those immunocompromised, sorry but you just gotta find a way of living with a society where most are not. We deserve ti live our lives.

I don’t think the majority of the people pushing for restrictions are actually immunocompromised. People that are actually immunocompromised had to accept these risks before Covid, particularly during flu season.

The people pushing mask mandates and quarantines seem to mostly be hypochondriacs with anxiety disorders.

Exactly this. Hypochodriacs and introverts here use the immunocompromised as human shields.

Yes! I think someone finally hit the nail on the head.

I am one of the immunocompromised and I am really starting to get pissed. I (and the rest of us) DON’T NEED THE WORLD TO CONTINUE MASKING TO PROTECT ME. I’M GOOD.

Hypochondriacs (and control freaks), yes. Introverts, no.

I'm a definite introvert teacher who still enjoys going out from time to time, goes to the gym, runs all my errands in person maskless, etc. I'm not antisocial - I just need more time to recharge. And I understand the importance of in-person education and interactions.

To each their own. We're all able to make our own choices based on our own circumstances.

Look, covid could potentially trigger a relapse of my autoimmune disease. I know because it's happened to other people in my medical community. I have a transplant recipient in my family whose lungs aren't great and pneumonia and fevers could be potenitally life threatening for them. We don't ask people to mask or quarantine...in fact, the transplant recipient goes to in-person school with an N95. But I will say what I have a problem with: it's the constant gaslighting, the mocking of people who still wear masks, and anything else that signals that covid is no big deal. It is a big deal to some people- and could be life threatening in cases, or have the potential to seriously impact their quality of life. The gaslighting, the mocking, and the statements about it not being a big deal need to stop. I think that's when you'll see more people calm down, because their personal experience will be validated for their individual situation.

I made the post (and am an introvert myself). Admittedly, I struggled with what word to use here. There are people who don't like to socialize at all (and enjoyed that nobody else could for a certain time period), who were loathe to see that shield go away.

This is ridiculous. My husband and I are both high risk, we both wear masks in grocery stores, dine outside, etc. We really could care less about what you think. If you don’t need to wear a mask, then don’t. Just don’t judge others for doing what they need to do.

Well if you’re going about your business just in a mask, this isn’t really about you. But there are absolutely people who are pushing for wide-scale *restrictions* at this point in time and not just “people can wear a mask if they want.”

Well, it’s pretty off putting to be referred to as a hypochondriacal introvert because we are wearing masks. Please post a link where people are pushing for wide-scale restrictions?

To each his own. I wear a mask for me and my family. We haven't caught Covid. We know plenty of people on their second Covid trip and we know they were not masking much. They probably will still not mask up. I'm cool with it. I will see them outside but not inside.

I will be wearing sunblock even if they don't. No worries.

There are absolutely people all over dcum calling for mask mandates and quarantine policies, particularly in the school boards. And there are people criticizing others for gatherings and travel.

If you're immunocompromised, then you're not GOOD. Sorry, but that's the truth. So I'm going to continue to wear a mask, for your protection. And I urge others to do tbe same. I can't help it if I care.

Grow up, no one is talking about wide scale restrictions. However, common sense is to wear a mask when there is a surge, which we are in. Clearly you are lacking common sense.

No one is so stop making up stuff. Those of us cautious keep our kids in virtual. We know people like you don't care and would send your kids to school sick and don't care about the impact to other families. Common sense is to have masking at schools given how large our schools are and how quickly it can spread in an environment like that.
