Why are Montgomery County residents so über covid conscious?

A free country, except when it comes to wearing masks and taking vaccines. And whether you can keep your business open, or send your kid to school.

Wrong. Choice still exists. But as always, choices have consequences.

That's also why very liberal areas tend to have higher tax rates, higher minimum wage, more social welfare, do more things for the poor.

It's a collective mindset vs individual mindset.

BS. Liberals are generally very selfish people who only care about themselves and their kids. The rest is self-righteous performance.

That's pretty much it. Masking lets the type of self-important, self-righteous liberals who infest the DMV show off how much they care.

I don't know a single person who wears a mask to virtue signal. You either think it will help protect you and others or you don't. You are either worried about COVID or you aren't.

This is a bs right-wing talking point.

DP. I actually have a very progressive friend who posted on FB about how she was wearing a mask outdoors to show “how we can protect each other”. That’s virtue signaling to me.

You need better friends. Don’t judge my friend with multiple sclerosis who wore masks and still socially distanced with your crazy friends.

The consequences bring… they make paranoid Qanon believers Agitated. Of course pizza parlors do that too so…

If a mask mandate will keep the nuts away from pizza parlors it's a win for us all.

Some people, sure. Not me! I feel every second of mask wearing.

By that logic, demonstrators in Hong Kong have free speech- they simply need to accept the consequences.

Don't want a vaccine? OK, you're not going to be able to keep your job, and thus won't be able to pay for food and shelter, but you've made your choice in a free country...

I don't even have a problem with the adult vaccine mandate, but it is ridiculous to claim it is consistent with the principles of a "free country" or that we're giving people a meaningful choice in the matter.

This was an example to show that yes, those virtue signalers do exist. I think we are all aware that some people have different reasons to mask outdoors.

DP. Except the consequences of not getting vaccinated will be that you have to test weekly or work somewhere with fewer than a hundred employees that doesn't choose to mandate vaccines. There's enough of difference between those "consequences" and being in a Chinese prison to render a comparison ridiculous.

Me neither. I'm aware of it every moment. I'm envious of people who just love their masks, or at least don't mind them. Because I have yet to find one that doesn't make my nose itch, my glasses fog, and isn't hot and uncomfortable.

A lot of people in MoCo are pretty up tight. I’m kind of surprised they weren’t masking more in airports and stuff before. I think there are a lot of two professional, high income families and you have to be pretty tightly wound to live that life.

You are just as bad being at the airport. They, like you, don’t care if they get sick or spread it. Life is about them.

Most of us hate them but would hate Covid more.
