What’s up with parents not wearing masks at the playground?

[Anonymous]

Next time I’ll wave to you OP! I’m definitely a maskless mom at the playground. I know you find this shocking but it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Honestly, just use this info to plan your move. You should move to a place where more people think like you. I live in a place where everyone wears masks all the time, even today. I'm happy. I know there are lots of places where people don't wear masks, and if I were one of those types, then I'd move there.

Where do you live pp!? We mask everywhere outside. Double mask in fact. Because why not? What’s the downside. Cannot wait for this to be over tho. We’ve come so far, not sure why people think ok to just give up now.

The downside is that I don’t like suffocating. But that’s a personal preference snd I certainly respect if yours is different

+1. Why are you at a playground with that many people? I take my kids to the playground daily and there are maybe 20 people on the busiest, sunniest, nicest day. I don’t care if people wear a mask.

PP. I meant I don’t care if people don’t wear masks outside. It’s unnecessary.

All you people who are still wearing masks after being vaccinated are holding back society. Be free! Science doesn’t support you wearing a mask after being vaccinated. Wake up.

Totally fine in Virginia to not wear a mask OUTSIDE.

People reading in vast conspiracy theorists about people not following their personal mask preference have lost their GD minds.

This is more than a little paranoid. I really don't think people think through these decisions that much. And I don't think they are thinking about you, or anyone, when they make the decision. They are just doing something mildly selfish (I say mildly because I agree with PPs that outdoors it really doesn't matter that much) because human beings are selfish.

Why is everything on these boards about "mean girls"? I see that phrase so much on here that it's lost all meaning to me. Someone in the real estate forum called me a mean girl for saying that a listed house was overpriced for the location. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a "mean girl". WTH.

I think in this instance the term is entirely appropriate. They are a type of cliquish exclusionary moms who seek to intimidate those not like them. Unmasking themselves and their children is just another weapon in their alpha-mom arsenal. If you attempt to politely ask them to be considerate, they look right through as if you don’t even exist. It is real.

I have never worn a mask outside, and I never will. I follow the #Science. I got my vaccine this week, so I’m really done now.

There's no polite way to ask an adult stranger who you can easily avoid to wear a mask in public. It's controlling and irrational. Ignoring someone you don't know who is behaving inappropriately is a normal thing people do to not escalate situations, because if you lack one social boundary, what else is missing?

It may be a neighborhood of “rules don’t apply to me” (high degree entitlement) or “mean girls moms”.

Because the effect size of being outdoors is magnitudes greater than that of a cloth mask. My state doesn’t mandate them outdoors, so it’s not the norm here. Lucky for me.

Grasping for straws here, even indoors.

Six feet is junk science. Pay attention.

Many federal government workers and others are being vaccinated in our area under 1B—essential workers. I am no longer alarmed when I see unmasked adults outside because there is a great chance they have been vaccinated. Yes, they should still wear a mask, but if you are wearing your mask, then the risk to you is low.
