Did you get childhood vaccinations? You're a sheep. Do you wear a seatbelt when you drive? Why? You're a sheep. Do you pay your taxes? You do? Sheep. Do you cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze/cough? Sheep. Do you complain when your doctor/dentist/surgeon wears a mask during a medical procedure? You don't? Sheep. See. You're a sheep too. BAAAAAAAA. |
Why don't you ask your local health care workers that question? |
No one said masking is forever. You are being way overly dramatic.
I am sure you anti-maskers don't wear seatbelts either, right? |

And slowing transmission reduces variants. The more people unmask, the longer we need to mask. Finally an intelligent understanding on why masking is important! |
I'm glad for you. What is your job. A lot of us with white collar work have been able to stay home or go to an office and remove the masks when we are alone. Not kids in school. Mask is on all day except for 15 or so minutes during lunch. And my kids were lucky enough to have a school that opened for most of last year. So he has been wearing a mask 8 hours for about 8-9 months of the last 15. Can you really say that about yourself and your brother. UNLESS you are a teacher or work in retail, I doubt it. Even doctors go into their offices and remove the masks for a time. NOT THE KIDS. It is criminal. |
The only people being dramatic are the people obsessed with what other people are doing, specifically not wearing a mask in arbitrary social situations. I don't care what you do. There is no mask mandate in Alexandria. |
Youngkin was virtual signaling to the folks who elected him. Since he got less than 25% of the vote in Alexandria, he should have anticipated that some residents there might be offended by him not wearing a mask. |
I disagree. Politicians don't do anything casually and what they wear at public events is often calculated to send a message (e.g., the disarming "dad" vest he campaigned in). Just a few months ago, Youngkin was wearing a mask at a public event (see link below). To not wear one now is signaling something--and in the Republican world, NOT wearing a mask is a symbol of defiance and "freedom." https://roanoke.com/when-youngkin-takes-office-rollbacks-expected-on-virginia-s-covid-19-vaccine-and-mask-mandates/article_6e532f32-5bc8-5772-841b-89b587be7763.html |
Ya'll are so rude. You disparage DC and Montgomery County for still having in-restaurant mask mandates and vaccination requirements but your Governor walks into a grocery store with no mask when you no-good-and-well yours is sitting on your chin and suddenly its a problem?

+100 My family is all vaccinated, boosted, everything. Everyone but me just got Covid and got over it. We are done with this. Our entire society doesn't revolve around the preferences of a vocal fringe group that is still terrified of Covid. |
My kid cannot be vaxed yet so thanks for giving a shit. |
DP-Good grief-you act like you’re the only parent in the world. I also have a kid that isn’t eligible to be vaccinated and it makes no difference in our lives. I’m religious about yearly flu shots, but really, a virus that statistically presents virtually no danger to them? The burden of mitigating risk for grown adults who can make their own healthcare choices should not fall on children, full stop. |
“no-good-and-well” is not a thing. |
