| I have a chronic health condition, which is why I wear a mask when I am near others. It has nothing to do with politics and nothing to do with the other people, and everything to do with my health. |
As is your right, of course. |

I’m far left of center. DCUM would call me a communist. I’m to the left of Bernie Sanders, Marc Elrich, and everyone you clutch your pearls at. Let me tell you this ain’t political.
Starting tomorrow I’m ditching the masks and putting on LIPSTICK. |
Well you assume wrong because I have been vaccinated since April and I will take my mask off as soon as I can. So if you walk past me you can be assured that I am vaccinated. You shouldn’t make assumptions about people now! |
You can also catch a cold or the flu come in to contact with other people are you going to stop living your lives? How many people on here truly want to continue wearing masks forever just to avoid getting a cold? I would rather take the risk and not wear a mask we used to live where we could see peoples faces and smile and talk. If you have some pre-existing condition by all means wear a mask but the virtue signaling has just got to go! |
Masks have long been a thing in Asia, mainly seasonally, and generally on grimy public transit or crowds with lots of strangers. This makes sense and is a LOT different than wearing a mask to a cocktail party with friends. I look forward to wearing lipstick and smiling at people. At some point you just have to let people live. |
Nah. I'll be fine. Just got my booster too! So thankful for medical solutions and that everyone can see my beautiful, smiling face again. |
You can smile at people while wearing a mask. And they will likely be able to tell that you are smiling at them, too! Just saying. You can also wear lipstick and a mask, though it's pointless and would make a mess. |
Why would you assume that? Isn’t MoCo like 99% vaccinated? If 25% of people stop wearing masks, they’re not all unvaccinated …

+1 What is it with the fear-mongers on this site? It's almost as if... they *want* masking to go on forever. |
I think there's only a couple of them, and one of them posts all the time because she's too frightened to leave the house. |
I am the "she" you are probably referring to and have been off dcum for a couple days doing my masked stuff out and about before all the people who can't be bothered with a face covering unmask. So there must be others like me posting here too, sorry to disappoint you. |
What makes you think just because you are vaccinated its safe for those of us with health issues or don't want to catch covid to be around you? I will assume you are irresponsible and could be a covid carrier and stay away. I hope you stay away from me. You can still get and spread covid vaccinated so people like you are the absolute worse. |
No-one cares about your lipstick or if you are smiling. Seriously, its not like you are going to be friendly to a stranger. |
Last time I checked, the cold or flu didn't kill millions around the world. They aren't even close to comparable. Lets be real. You are only talking to your friends so stop the fake caring as you aren't going to talk to a stranger or even your child's classmate's parent who has been going to your child's school for years that you've never acknowledged because you are suddenly not wearing a mask. And, if you do its only because you want something from them. |
