They'll just change the criteria like they just did. Elections coming up and votes are more important than safety. Dead and sick people don't vote.

If only. I’d love to see them change the order to remove the useless mask provision, but it is coming back. We’ll be stuck with masks for another month or so until we get up to 85% fully vaccinated. I’m not changing, though. I never stopped wearing a mask myself in stores, but I did stop pretending to have my kids wear masks. And I’m not going to start again. They never kept the mask in place for more than 5 seconds at a time anyway, so it was always just for show. Just like cloth masks in general.

Vaccines are not going to fix this alone. Look at other country surges. It’s not going away because of people like you. Teach your kids to be responsible by setting a good example. Cloth masks work. Plenty of studies on it.

Look at the county's data on hospitalizations and deaths. As a practical matter, the vaccines have already fixed things for us regarding COVID. The vaccines have provided strong protection to all but the most old, frail, fat, or unlucky. We'll be fine once people like you get pushed out of the way.

Its more than hospitalizations and deaths for some of us. What is wrong with you? You wish death on others so you can live your irresponsible life? I feel bad for your kids as you probably don't care about their health or needs either.

I'm sure you'd say I should keep them home. Who needs ABA, speech and occupanational therapy in a pandemic? Or learn social skills and practice following commands in a school setting?

It's really tough to balance those critical services against the risk they might get sick and feel tired for a few weeks.

Nevermind, it wasn't hard to balance those at all. We obviously resumed in-person services and preK as soon as possible.

Heck, my spouse is an health care provider who takes immunosuppressants for past organ transplant. And they went into through throughout the pandemic, when cases were higher and we didn't have vaccines.

And yes, I know it isn't about hospitalizations or deaths for you. It has long been clear that mental health issues are driving your posts on COVID, not physical health issues.

Its impressive you can diagnose mental health issues over the internet. Being careful is not a mental health issue. Denying covid is an issue, is a huge mental health issue. And, a dangerous issue. Its sad how hateful you are toward others.

I hate to break it to you but your child isn't the only one who needs services. Many of us have kids who have done many hours of private services, many hours.

And, given your spouse is a health care provider and your child "needs" in office visits, I would hope you would be more careful with covid vs. saying lets live life as normal. Your choices impact your spouses patients, many of whom may not be going in to get the medical care they need as they don't feel safe and other families may choose not to get in person services for their kids because of other families and the providers behavior. The choices and risks you take impact many others. Many who may not be as nonchalant as you acting as if covid is no big deal.

If you only knew the truth... I know compared to you I'm an antimasker COVID denier. The other doctors my spouse works with agree I'm too far on one side of the spectrum, but the vast majority of them would say I'm overly cautious.

In any event, except for <5yo kids, we all have access to the best tool for protecting overs from COVID- the vaccines. The young kids aren't at significant risk in the first place. If that's not enough, then you can double up the vaccine with actual PPE. If you're that worried about COVID, I would think you'd have good, well-fitting PPE by now.

A minuscule dip. The mask mandate is coming back.

I'm looking at the county's data on hospitalizations right now. I'm guessing that, with a bit of a lag, the number of hospitalizations will go back up as the case rate goes back up. I'm double-vaccinated plus single-boostered, and I don't have a problem wearing a mask in stores and offices to help protect the "old, frail, fat, and unlucky." Heck, who knows but that the "unlucky" might include me? Or even you?

The whole thing is stupid and security theater. I was out in VA this weekend which doesn’t have a mask mandate, apart from schools and public buildings, but a lot of people do still wear them. So these people are wearing a mask to shop at Wegmans while also going to the wineries on a cool, rainy/windy day (indoors), packed at a table eating shared food and drinking with friends, with every other table in the place packed full and barely a mask in sight? Makes no sense. Masks aren’t even that great at preventing Delta Covid anyway. After you’re vaccinated, masks are basically “tinkering around the edges” in terms of reducing the probability you’ll be infected.

I could get behind a mask mandate for government buildings but nowhere else.

Just look at what happened with the Delta surge in August/September. Particularly deaths.


The vaccines are doing their job, even when they're faced with surging cases.

Not if -16 new cases are reported tomorrow.

You can do negative new cases, right?
