Go to a less expensive grocery store. Very few masks in sight in Safeway or Giant.

Pathetic? Why do you care so much first PP?

I frequent the Giant at Groveton, Alexandria. Tons of masks still. Well over 50%.

I agree it's pathetic. These are adults who are so out of touch with reality and bought into "the narrative" that they're incapable of thinking for themselves. That's a bad thing. They should be shamed. And the people who caused them to become so frightened should be punished, especially those who forced this on our children.

People obsessed with other people wearing masks are pathetic. You need to seek therapy to manage your irrational anger at other people who are not harming you.

I feel this way about people who feel nervous about people not wearing masks in stores. We're not sick, we're not harming you, do what you want for yourself but your anger is irrational.

Many people don't stay home when they are sick and there is asymptomatic covid which means you are sick. So, yes, we are concerned about being near you unmasked. Its pathetic that you cannot be a decent human being and mask.

Get vaccinated and wear a fitted N95 and you’ll be fine and don’t have to worry about anyone. Why won’t you follow the science?

It can if you wear the right kind (e.g. N95 etc) and it is properly fitted.

Stop spreading misinformation to suit your (uninformed) narrative.

I am the person you are responding to and I see far more rage on here from anti-maskers. You are the ones starting all these endless threads and the same inane questions and spouting the same misinformation over and over.

Can we agree that a person yelling at a stranger about not wearing a mask AND a person yelling at a stranger about wearing a mask would be awful. But the small percentage of weirdos who would yell at a stranger in public is far from the majority of people who are posting here. Most people are just choosing to mask or not and minding their own business out in public.

Yes, they follow them right over the cliff, no matter how stupid they are.

DP. Given that so far masks rules have been widely imposed, especially in schools, I think it's kind of understandable that the "anti-maskers" would be more angry. You can mask until the end of your days and nobody will stop you, but so far people have been compelled to wear masks in many places.

I mean, people also stop at a stop sign even if no car or pedestrian is in sight, even though that can feel kind of stupid, too. I also wear shoes and shirts at a restaurant if it's required, even if I'm coming from the beach. I am guessing you are the type who runs stop signs and goes barefoot?

NP -- it's understandable that they'd be more frustrated, but not that they'd be pitching hissy fits left and right. Swear to god, I'm pretty neutral on masks, I'll wear them when recommended but don't expect to wear them until covid-zero, but the rabid anti-maskers on this board/in school board meetings do NOT paint their cause in a good light.

I know conventional wisdom is that the dems are fAcInG a BaCkLaSh for the mask mandates, but I just don't see it. To me, the Dems look like the only adults in the room. YMMV.

No, because those are not "stupid" rules. Going barefoot in a public restaurant risks injury to the foot and is a potential liability to the business owner if I step on a piece of broken glass. Stopping at a stop sign with no other car in sight reinforces the point that one must ALWAYS stop at a stop sign, a fact that I point out to my teen driver all the time. It helps it become a habit versus a judgment call.

Vaccinated and boosted people wearing masks indoors as a general guideline (hey, what if there is no one else in the store or library? what if my child is in a classroom by himself for some reason?) is a pointless act and is uncomfortable as well.

It's funny how everyone's perception differs. I see about equal amounts of "rabid anti-masker hissy fits" and "OMG just be a decent human being and wear a damn mask", and "why can't your precious baby wear a mask to protect my unvaccinated kid" on this board. My guess is you aren't as neutral as you think on masks if you don't notice those. And yes, as a Dem I fully expect Dems to face backlash. Which I will deplore because it will be detrimental to a wide range of issues I care about, but I totally think they deserve it for their school Covid policies.

And there is good reason for that.

Not pointless during an omicron wave. You are just flat out wrong in your reasoning.
