PP only sees the world through the lens of Covid now. Their entire self worth is based on Covid purity tests. |
| NP. Fauci says we are no longer in a pandemic phase. |
Decent people aren't allowed to follow the CDC? Weird. |
Nah, they’re just afraid of being judged as a Trumper. Lots of sheep. Same people who were masking at the playgrounds over the winter. |
I'm pretty sure PP is only judging who is "decent" based on whether they're masking. Otherwise, there's no way to know if a random store patron is decent or not. It's circular and meaningless but so much of these COVID conversations are these days. |
I for one am glad to hear we’ve moved on from shaming people for grocery shopping in person! |
Yup. I live upcounty and do much of shopping here, or in Frederick, and its unusual to see a mask now. Single digit percentages. In fact, I was in the FredCo Costco (worth the extra drive time, btw), and did a doubletake when I saw a masked family; I hadn't seen a fully masked family in weeks. |
It really is crazy the difference between up and down county. It’s still like 90% masked in stores in silver spring. |
Mostly peer pressure. People don't want to stand out. In my experience, masks slowly come off until there's an inflection point when they come off en masse. |
At the middle school I work in (part time; I'm not on the clock yet ) about a quarter of kids are wearing them properly, a quarter are without masks altogether, and half are wearing them ineffectively.
I figure that last group are the ones whose parents say they have to wear them, and they reply with an exasperated "Okay, Mom" as they head out the door. |
That third group is the funniest. My DS is a walker, and since I WFH, on rainy or cold days, I'll pick him up from school. Our neighbor is the same age, and his parents want him to mask at school. Countless times I've seen him come out of school, spot my car, and quickly dig into his backpack and put his mask on. Pretty funny. My DS told me that on normal days when they both walk home, he waits until they get to our corner and then puts it on his chin, to give the impression that he wore it all day and just pulled it down for the walk home. So far, sounds like he's fooling his parents |
Not only that, if it’s the same person, she’s judging people for not wearing masks outdoors. Judgmental and stupid. Tough combination. |
