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. That's basically what everyone on this chain is suggesting (who believe Covid is a threat to society). Short if this, I mean, what else is there to say? I'm hoping that this convinces these people that they are totally unrealistic, selfish (more so than all of us who are basically saying live and let live), and at minimum unreasonable. I think the way to approach living in Covid times is just to accept risk and exactly that, continue living. There's no other way short of stopping to live because you're so afraid of not existing. 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.

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.

When I say I’m good, I mean I’M GOOD. It’s hilarious how you feel the need to correct me (and let me know how I REALLY feel because hey, this is DCUM and of course you know better than the actual poster how they feel!) and then announce what a good person you are for “protecting” me.

Never change, DCUM.

I'm glad you feel good. I want you to feel good, and I'm not telling you to feel any differently. I'm simply stating that, despite your feelings, you are not GOOD. You are immunocompromised. You need others to take extra precaution for your safety, and I am happy to do so, by wearing a mask.

Omg stop being a martyr! I don’t need anyone doing anything for me. Lord some of you are INSUFFERABLE.

Wearing a mask for protecting the immunocompromised does not make me a martyr. And I am not going to stop taking protective measures for our immunocompromised community just because some anonymous internet person told me to. If you feel like you don't need anyone to do anything for you, then that's a sign that your feelings can't be trusted. Regardless, whether or not you want me to wear a mask for your protection doesn't matter. There are plenty of immunocompromised people who do want me to wear a mask, people I know IRL who aren't anonymous posters on the internet who could be making up any lie to lend creedence to their feelings. I will wear my mask for them, as their needs outweigh yours.

You’re free to do whatever you want, just as the rest of us are. As long as you don’t go making demands of others I don’t care what you do or don’t do.

Actually, advocating for the adoption of policies to protect the immunocompromised community is a duty of health itself. So, no, you will not silence me, and you will not cast the immunocompromised community to an early grave.

Go for it. Mask up. Advocate. Move a needle somewhere.

It's not. Omicron was just the worst runny nose I've ever had, but this is a total non-event. Only knew something was wrong because I had a fever.

Because those of us who've been through chemo know that an oncologist who's telling a chemo patient to not be Covid-cautious is incompetent.

Going through chemo makes you qualified on…absolutely nothing.

Really? Even if while I was on chemo I was exposed a stomach bug from one of kids (who were all <11yo at the time) which put me in the hospital for a couple of nights because chemotherapy (along with having cancer) makes you more susceptible to infections? So maybe I'm kind of a little more knowledgeable about this than some random internet trolls.

Why, 2 1/2 years into this, do we STILL have Covid minimizers trolling around on this board??? It's so bizarre.

Why do we still have mental health minimizers? Why are you allowed to discuss your cancer but I can't discuss how my HoH mother has been completely isolated by masks or that seeing them all the time triggers PTSD in my friend who was raped or that the isolation I've been subjected to because of mandatory WFH has made me suicidal? Why can you discuss your concerns and I can't?

Start your own thread. This is about covid. You could have found a different job.

Spent 18 months looking. Not all of us have amazing resumes. Does that justify locking me up, in your mind? You're ok with me killing myself because I couldn't find a new job? Why did I have to suffer for everyone else's anxiety?

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.”

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.

So, one random person is what?

By definition, one random person is not "no one".

Why are you so obsessed with it? Really, masking is no big deal if it saves lives. But, there is no masking and you are still complaining. Nothing will please you. Why do you care about what one person says on twitter? Why are you stalking them?

??? This is a politician-worthy response. Change the subject entirely and then attack.

Policiticans don't care or go with what they think will win votes which is why things are a hot mess/no masking.

Bad colds don't kill as many people as Covid has. Be real... that's great it was gone for you in 5 days. Not all of us are that fortunate.

How many has BA.5 killed? Cite your sources.

OMG. Is your identity that tied up in masking? Newsflash: we as a society have done our duty to the immunocompromised by supporting the creation of very good vaccines and therepeutics. If you want to fight for something, fight to ensure access to those medications. In the meantime, your mask is literally a costume you wear as your self-appointed Immunocompromised Crusader identity.

Four families on our block have now had BA.5 in the past few weeks. The kids haven’t had many symptoms but the parents are getting their butts kicked by it. We haven’t had it, but it seems like only a matter of time. That said, we are going to leave the masking decision up to our 3rd grader.
