85% vaccine rate isn’t good enough

Even the council knows that the very minor benefit of masks (maybe 10 percent) isn’t worth the hassle for the vaccinated and healthy.

Can you give us the evidence that masking is useless because most studies say it helps. Many are not healthy and you can still get covid vaccinated. Responsible behavior is important. If our elected officials cannot understand this, we are doomed.

Nothing would stop you from wearing an N95 mask around yourself if the mandate was lifted.

That’s nice. Protection improves when both parties are masked, so you can keep yours on too. Thanks!

Tell me you don’t have any friends without telling me you don’t have any friends.

Now this comment is truly laughable. I'm in the arts and I have hundreds of good friends.

Now stop whining and just wear your mask like a big girl.

I’m in Virginia so I don’t have to! Seriously stop spamming this thread with your nonsensical replies, one after the other. Your posting style is incredibly obvious and also obnoxious. 5 posts in a row right after midnight on a Saturday? Weird.

The data shows it helps a small amount and the benefit goes to the oldest people. There is no data on cloth masks, only surgical.

You're upset because county council members didn't wear masks while eating? Or maybe you think the county council should shut down the restaurants? Or maybe you think that, if the county doesn't require everyone to wear a mask always everywhere, they shouldn't require anyone to wear a mask ever anywhere?

So why are you posting on this thread about Montgomery County, Maryland?

+1 The benefit is if people where a *proper* mask and wear it properly.

I see gators, masks under the noise, taken off to speak. And do you think the virus stops itself from spreading when you take off the mask to eat in a restaurant/bar/cafeteria? People breathe talk, laugh, cough, sneeze while eating. If it was done properly, IMO, the case rate would be lower. But people aren't masking properly. So, it's just political theater and a joke.

It’s not like MD is halfway across the country! People in this area spend time in all 3 jurisdictions. I can’t believe someone has to explain that to you.

Evidently this Virginia PP doesn't, though. And yet is posting on a thread about Montgomery County, to complain about other people spamming the thread...

And even wearing a "proper" mask correctly, the benefit is very small.

You see gators? OMG, where? Did you call animal control? Oh, wait, you meant gaiters.

Weird how people in hospitals keep wearing masks, though.

For the same reasons you donated to Stacey Abrams campaign in FL.

Where did PP say they were useless?

Based on the latest CDC data, we're already at 87.1% vaccination rate among the total population eligible for vaccination. It's when toddlers are factored in that the rate goes down to 81.7%.

Fully Vaccinated
Total
858,781
% of Total Population
81.7%
Population ≥ 5 Years of Age
858,764
% of Population ≥ 5 Years of Age
87.1%
Population ≥ 12 Years of Age
834,231
% of Population ≥ 12 Years of Age
93.6%
Population ≥ 18 Years of Age
758,380
% of Population ≥ 18 Years of Age
93.8%
Population ≥ 65 Years of Age
167,438
% of Population ≥ 65 Years of Age
95%

Wait, the 85% is based on the total population or total eligible population? Was this the factor the entire time or have a “revised” it?

I’m not sure what picture you were referring to, but the Bethesda beat had a picture of all of the candidates on stage, and they weren’t wearing masks. They were all side-by-side. At this point they were not eating, or drinking. I firmly believe masks are a farce and political theater, but it just shows you politicians are “do what I say not what I do or really believe in.”
