Yes, and high risk folks who are unable to be vaccinated are also forgotten. We'll continue to mask, for those at higher risk. It hurts us zero to wear a mask inside.

The challenge is infants and imunocompromised folks have always been at higher risk of many things besides Covid. Infants do not have bad cases of Covid. At some point this has to end. We won’t be masking forever, and thankfully that is ending now. Parents and the imunocompromised will need to determine their own risk and accommodate as they did pre-Covid.

Infants have had bad cases of covid and died.

Thanks for making my risk analysis for me! Also, I bet you may feel differently it it was your kid. We are so close to a vaccine for kids under five that it is infuriating to feel dismissed here and else where like kids are fine so get over it. I love my child and I want my baby to have the same chance for protection as everyone else. Guess many people really are selfish.

As someone with both an immunocompromised family member and two kids under five who have struggled with speech and socialization, I would say you’re the one acting selfishly given the low risk of Covid in kids. Are you going to suggest we now also institute mask mandates every flu season since kids are similarly at risk to that as Covid?

And you really don’t know we’re close to a vaccine for kids under five. You could have just as easily made the same statement last summer and you would have been wrong.

Indeed. Ever look at first-year all-cause mortality rates? Covid isn’t a uniquely high risk.

Covid isn’t the flu. Thanks for playing.

High-risk people that can’t be vaccinated? Setting aside young kids, who can’t be vaccinated with either one of the mRNA vaccines or J&J?

It’s not, but outcomes/severity are similar in kids between Covid and the flu. A lot of people seem to forget that since Covid is much more severe than the flu in adults. Or at least it was before they could be vaccinated.

You mean immediately identifiable outcomes are comparable. Still way too soon to know the long term effects and outcomes.

Lol. Sure... It's been 2 years and a half billion cases.

Regardless, you do realize Covid will become endemic, and that ultimately everyone will be exposed sooner or later, don't you?

It really is selfish to expect the world to cater to you, but I’ve been a parent infants and remember I felt that way at the time also.

As another parent of children under 5, don't feel the need to wear a mask for us.

The stomach bug we just went through was way worse than our bout with Covid.

Every infant I know who has had CoVID got it from daycare or their parents. Not a stranger walking by at wegmans.

It’s selfish to expect society to care enough to mask in the grocery store until my baby can get a vaccine hopefully in just a few months? I don’t care what else people do. But I would like to do essential errands safely. It’s actually not a lot to ask to care about others enough to wear a mask in the produce section. Glad you aren’t my in laws!

Those cotton masks you see in grocery stores give you a false sense of security that brings more danger to your baby. If you’re this paranoid, better to just see someone’s face so you know to keep your distance.

You mean like my family member with an organ transplant who did not mount any immune response to their vaccines due to immune suppressing drugs? Do what you want with your own life but mocking others’ distress at a life threatening illness makes you a bad person.
