You can continue to wear your mask! Yay! Nobody is telling anyone NOT to wear a mask. Just that they should be optional at this point.

+1. You can wear a burka for all I care, just don't force the rest of us to do the same.

+100
Does this go for public schools too? I would LOVE for FCPS to follow suit.

No, that is a Maryland state requirement.

Yet another reason why VA needs a Republican governor.

I think that you are confused. Virginia, which has a Democratic governor, has a state mask mandate for schools. In contrast, Maryland, which has a Republican governor, ALSO HAS A STATE MASK MANDATE FOR SCHOOLS.

I am too. The rest of us get to watch the jerks self identify.

When there is no mask mandate, I assume anyone I see wearing a mask (especially outdoors) is not vaccinated and keep my distance.

Good. That's what we want you to do.

Interesting. I assume they have a significant health issue like cancer.

Unfortunately, mask have become an ingrained political issue. My completely unscientific opinion/observation is that people are wearing masks as a rejection of Trump and anti-vaccine. It’s not even so much based on science but as an subconscious rejection of that. Trump did so much damage.

I think as the weeks go on you’ll start seeing more and more people take their masks off, just like last time.

Well, yes. Like any other habit, you get in the habit of doing something, it takes a while to get out of the habit.

Flaming liberal who's going to stop masking when the mandate is lifted. I am vaccinated, have my booster. I'm tired of paying mental rent to all of this, and will just follow the law as it stands. It's easier that way.

I’m all in favor of the County Executive continuing to mask up and spare us the view of his jowls.

I keep my distance from people like you unmasked as they don’t have the common sense to understand they can still get and spread Covid.

Don’t complain if you get Covid.

We wear masks to keep us and our families safe. Vaccines alone will not stop Covid.

Why would they? It's not like a cloth mask makes any real difference and if they're vaccinated and healthy they most likely will have minor symptoms if any. Sorry to disappoint you as you clearly want everyone unmasked to suffer but we won't.

If you follow science you'd know even a crummy cloth mask is better than nothing. You will suffer a lot more with covid than wearing a mask. And, if wearing a mask is causing you distress, you really need to get mental health treatment. Plenty of well made cloth masks available.
