We are not the only ones wear mask at outdoor playground

[Anonymous]

No one is masking at the playground anymore and that’s totally fine. I live in liberal Maryland. Our cases are basically zero. Fine to let kids have a normal summer.

I’m in Fairfax county and haven’t seen a masked kid at the playground since it started getting hot, and only rarely a masked adult. It’s fine, promise. The case counts are so low in our area, and therefore the odds are incredibly tiny that anyone would contact Covid at the playground.

Agree with the PPs here, OP you need to relax a bit for your own sanity. Go at non-peak hours to the playground if you’re that worried.

Yes, I’m still worried about little kids even outside. They get right in each other’s faces and everything goes in their mouths. I seriously doubt the scientists tested “climbing a slide ladder after someone licked it”.

So where is the outbreak of kids who got Covid from the park by not wearing masks? There are a lot of places nobody is wearing a mask at a park, yet no rash of toddlers getting sick or dying.

We went to Mattie Stepanek playground yesterday in King Farm Rockville. Quite crowded and only two ppl I saw wore mask. My husband and one other guy. I was surprised. I brought mine and ended up not wearing either.

NP. You aren’t at all worried about the more contagious mutations of covid especially now that tourists are descending? I don’t know anyone who wasn’t masked prior to now which could be why they didn’t trace cases of transmission (if they even tried). Now we have the anti-vaccine, unmasked idiots.

This is not a done-deal, PP.

Sorry, not worried. All the adults are vaccinated in my household. Children are low risk. We follow the science. Still, where are the multitudes of sick toddlers? You didn't answer the question.

My kids only still wear them because their preschool still requires them. We want to keep the habit going.

Some of unmasked adult family member are helping their kids on the playground, so close to my kid and other kids. I feel I am stupid and they are selfish. But you know what , 80% of kids and adults still wear masks at outdoor playground, so we are not the odd ones that dcum says. Many families still wear masks outdoor for the sake of unvaccinated kids.

Hardly anyone wears them outside now.

I still see quite a few kids wearing masks at parks in or near Bethesda. Hardly any adults have them on anymore, but still quite a few kids.

Same for us.

Lordy, I haven’t seen people in masks outdoors in weeks. Most people have stopped wearing them indoors at this point. Everyone who wants a vaccine has been vaccinated.

Not worried. All the adults in the family are vaccinated.

I live across the street from a park and playground in MoCo and most of the kids still wear masks.
