The anti-mask people can also be equally obnoxious with their staring/glaring at you like they can’t believe you’re still wearing a mask.

We have to wear masks because we visit an elderly relative who has dementia. He has been unable to get boosted because he becomes distraught at needles. We understand one-way masking is fine. It would be nice if people weren’t so judgy.

I have to wear a mask occasionally for various reasons and I have never had someone glare at me for it, FWIW. Maybe they’re looking at your mask and wondering if they should wear one? I’ve never seen someone berate someone for wearing a mask. But I have seen plenty of people berated for NOT masking.

Agree with you whole heartedly that people need to be less judgy. Do what works for you and move on. It’s a good lesson. You can only control your own behavior. Don’t try to control other people’s behavior.

It’s not common but it does happen. Once at a crowded play structure in a more rural area here - I could hear their pointed commentary. Also occasionally in redder areas.

Elementary teacher and I won’t mask unless there a cases in my class.
Obviously, we will test if anyone has symptoms but we won’t be staying home unless someone tests positive.

You won’t mask unless there’s a case in your classroom? There will likely nearly always be a case in your classroom.

What data supports this? My sons elementary class had zero cases all year until a smattering at the end. “IF” there were any kids were asymptomatic on which case no big whup

There will always be a “season”. Then it will be holiday travel.

DP, but why do you care, PP? Maybe there will always be a season, maybe there won't. What's wrong with trying to stay healthy for things that individual families and students deem to be important?

I will not make my kids wear masks, but I do agree with this PP. I’m happy to support people who want to mask as long as they want! They should allow kids to mask anytime.

Just please don’t force ALL of us to mask up! Allow it to be a choice.

I'm the PP. What I don't understand is the people who wanted the freedom to not wear masks seem intent on bullying people who choose to continue to mask, whether in all indoor spaces or sporadically, depending on their risk assessment and current priorities. Choice means just that, the choice to mask or not. It does not mean that you don't wear a mask and you also demand that everyone else stop masking too.

I would confidently say that over the past 2 years, the mask-pusher crowd is somewhat more ‘bullyish’ than the mask optional crowd.

I truly don’t care what other people do. Mask your kid or don’t. Vaccinate your kid or don’t. Should be a choice and we should all do what is best for our kids.

But it’s the mask-pushers and the vaccine-pushers who want to force others to do what they believe is ‘right’ even when the data doesn’t back them up.

There is no such thing as mask optional crowd. You either mask or you don't. If you choose not to mask, your behavior impacts others. If you are positive for covid, you can easily spread it, but that's not something most people care about. What is best for our kids is to keep them and their families physically healthy.

Hell no. Really hope the MS peer pressure thing is over

Not in the slightest. Makes no difference to you if my kid wears a flimsy cloth mask or not. Especially if you your kid is wearing his/her well-fitting KN95 mask.

Mass optional means that you can wear your mask forever and ever. It means that nobody will tell your kid to take off her mask. Yay!
