Covid hospitalizations and deaths remain at their lowest winter levels since covid emerged despite minimal uptake of the new booster.

Thank you for pointing this out. There are many who have a vested interest in keeping the covid hysteria going.

Add in Pfizer's interest in pushing testing. While they don't manufacture tests, they do have a stake in increased testing so they can try to offset slumping sales of Paxlovid.

Who? Who are these mythical beings who just love the drama. Oh, wait...

Unless you're implying everyone here asking folx to vax and mask is a pfizer shill, you're the one who seems invested in the drama. If you see covid precautions as "hysteria", log off and go suck air indoors for a bit. Unmasked. For science.

So breathe while indoors? Surely you jest. I never breathe when I am inside.

Do you sleep and eat in a mask in your own home? Because if you ever take your mask off anywhere, include your own home, YOU ARE SUCKING AIR INDOORS.

People invested in drama continue to post drama instead of acknowledging point, while calling others the drama. Typical DCUM.

PP's point was basically "catch something", but you didn't even catch the point.

I mean, the point kind of is the mentally ill minority who seem to believe that BREATHING inside without a mask is akin to raw-dogging a stranger. It’s very hard to believe we gave these types any sort of influence during covid.

That’s honestly what they think. They’re calling it airborne HIV.

"They" again? cite it, PP. Otherwise "they" is just you, and the same 4-5 nutters on this board, acting like masks will kill you.

By “they,” I mean the Covid cautious brigade on X/Twitter. I’m completely fascinated by these people because someone I know in real life has gotten sucked in and has essentially blown up her life and cut off all friends and family in the name of staying “safe.” Nutters for sure. But there are way more than 4-5 of them.

Yes, I know people like this too. It's health anxiety that's morphed into full blown mental illness. I feel terrible for their children that have had a normal childhood and childhood experiences taken from them.

My kids travel, play sports, and have several extracurriculars each. They wear masks indoors. Nothing has been taken from them, unless you zealots make minding my kids' faces your business somehow and start some nonsense drama irl like you try here. They're fine. Leave them alone and you will be too.

DP. Your kids have been wearing masks indoors since march 2020? Like everywhere they go indoors, for almost 4 years? I’m actually curious because I had no idea people were doing that. In my world of working in person and sending kids to school, dcum is the only place Covid still exists.

I run HEPA filter Dyson fans in my house, and we don't usually mask at home. And yes, if we're indoors anywhere else, we mask, unless everyone has tested and the airflow is good. When my kid got covid, probably at public school, we all masked at home, and nobody else got it. We followed CDC protocol and masked everywhere, indoors and out, for the specified time. We only experienced this once (so far). I watch the numbers, and when there are surges/spikes, we mask more carefully, even outdoors. It's not a burden.

Nearly half my family is medically sensitive, and covid/long covid could really hurt me personally. I run more careful than most, but I don't think it's unreasonable (though I'm sure it seems that way to the "shrug, whatever" crowd). People calling caution a mental illness and being sad for people like me and my family... are probably a bit unwell themselves, IMO. Nothing about what we do harms anyone, and it may help protect the people mocking us.

Shrug. Whatever.

Masking outdoors? No, that's not necessary.

When my kid was positive, we considered it a kindness/courtesy that cost us nearly nothing, and could keep others safe. Do you, PP. Leave us alone.

Do you mean that you sent your kid to school????? And felt like it was OK because you sent her/they/him with a mask?

Shrug. Whatever.

The only problem is that it is harming your kids.

My kids are honor students in AP programs, volunteer in their community, speak 2 languages and are learning a third, travel, have active social lives and extracurriculars... Harms them how, exactly?

The only way this harms my kids is if you raise your kids to bully mine for making different choices.

That's not their choice. You coerced, or perhaps blatantly forced, them.

You don't ever think about COVID? Ever?

I guess you don't have elderly parents or vulnerable co-workers or don't mind missing work or activities when you are sick. Some people use masks because of these concerns.

Personally, I was proud of my 20-something who works in a public-facing job for testing repeatedly when he got a cough/cold, and then wearing a high quality mask when he returned to work (even though he was negative) out of concern for his pregnant co-worker. I guess the world looks different when the only thing that matters is you and your family.

Actually I do have elderly parents and I see hundreds of coworkers every day. My parents and coworkers don’t obsess over Covid. A few people have worn masks at my work in the past 6 months or so, but certainly not every day and not often. Only if they’re sick. My 80 yr old parents don’t mask indoors, unless they are sick. I have never seen a teacher at my 4 yr old’s school masked, let alone a child or parent. So no, Covid is something I basically read about on dcum, I rarely think about it otherwise.

I don’t have any issue with people wearing masks, I just thought it was interesting that the previous poster was suggesting her kids have worn masks 100% of their time indoors for almost four years. I genuinely don’t know anyone like that.

DP. +1 my elderly parents and my 90 year old MIL were some of the first to get rid of their masks.

+2. My 80 yo parents live in a senior living community. Masks are extremely rare there.

Who? Who are these mythical beings who just love the drama. Oh, wait...

Unless you're implying everyone here asking folx to vax and mask is a pfizer shill, you're the one who seems invested in the drama. If you see covid precautions as "hysteria", log off and go suck air indoors for a bit. Unmasked. For science.

So breathe while indoors? Surely you jest. I never breathe when I am inside.

Do you sleep and eat in a mask in your own home? Because if you ever take your mask off anywhere, include your own home, YOU ARE SUCKING AIR INDOORS.

People invested in drama continue to post drama instead of acknowledging point, while calling others the drama. Typical DCUM.

PP's point was basically "catch something", but you didn't even catch the point.

I mean, the point kind of is the mentally ill minority who seem to believe that BREATHING inside without a mask is akin to raw-dogging a stranger. It’s very hard to believe we gave these types any sort of influence during covid.

That’s honestly what they think. They’re calling it airborne HIV.

"They" again? cite it, PP. Otherwise "they" is just you, and the same 4-5 nutters on this board, acting like masks will kill you.

By “they,” I mean the Covid cautious brigade on X/Twitter. I’m completely fascinated by these people because someone I know in real life has gotten sucked in and has essentially blown up her life and cut off all friends and family in the name of staying “safe.” Nutters for sure. But there are way more than 4-5 of them.

Yes, I know people like this too. It's health anxiety that's morphed into full blown mental illness. I feel terrible for their children that have had a normal childhood and childhood experiences taken from them.

My kids travel, play sports, and have several extracurriculars each. They wear masks indoors. Nothing has been taken from them, unless you zealots make minding my kids' faces your business somehow and start some nonsense drama irl like you try here. They're fine. Leave them alone and you will be too.

DP. Your kids have been wearing masks indoors since march 2020? Like everywhere they go indoors, for almost 4 years? I’m actually curious because I had no idea people were doing that. In my world of working in person and sending kids to school, dcum is the only place Covid still exists.

I run HEPA filter Dyson fans in my house, and we don't usually mask at home. And yes, if we're indoors anywhere else, we mask, unless everyone has tested and the airflow is good. When my kid got covid, probably at public school, we all masked at home, and nobody else got it. We followed CDC protocol and masked everywhere, indoors and out, for the specified time. We only experienced this once (so far). I watch the numbers, and when there are surges/spikes, we mask more carefully, even outdoors. It's not a burden.

Nearly half my family is medically sensitive, and covid/long covid could really hurt me personally. I run more careful than most, but I don't think it's unreasonable (though I'm sure it seems that way to the "shrug, whatever" crowd). People calling caution a mental illness and being sad for people like me and my family... are probably a bit unwell themselves, IMO. Nothing about what we do harms anyone, and it may help protect the people mocking us.

Shrug. Whatever.

Masking outdoors? No, that's not necessary.

When my kid was positive, we considered it a kindness/courtesy that cost us nearly nothing, and could keep others safe. Do you, PP. Leave us alone.

Do you mean that you sent your kid to school????? And felt like it was OK because you sent her/they/him with a mask?

Better than keeping her home.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

I know. It's crazy that some people think you should keep kids locked up at home over a cold.

The only problem is that it is harming your kids.

My kids are honor students in AP programs, volunteer in their community, speak 2 languages and are learning a third, travel, have active social lives and extracurriculars... Harms them how, exactly?

The only way this harms my kids is if you raise your kids to bully mine for making different choices.

That's not their choice. You coerced, or perhaps blatantly forced, them.

I didn't force anything, nor could I, really. The moment they're out of my sight, they can take their mask off. It's not like I follow them. But I do educate them, and encourage them, and explain the reasoning.

My kids understand, even if some adults don't/won't.

It's not a fscking cold, you dipshit. It hasn't ever been, nor will it be, and even if it's "just a cold" to you, it's still a risk for long covid. Die first, please. You're too stupid.

I mean, the point kind of is the mentally ill minority who seem to believe that BREATHING inside without a mask is akin to raw-dogging a stranger. It’s very hard to believe we gave these types any sort of influence during covid.

That’s honestly what they think. They’re calling it airborne HIV.

"They" again? cite it, PP. Otherwise "they" is just you, and the same 4-5 nutters on this board, acting like masks will kill you.

By “they,” I mean the Covid cautious brigade on X/Twitter. I’m completely fascinated by these people because someone I know in real life has gotten sucked in and has essentially blown up her life and cut off all friends and family in the name of staying “safe.” Nutters for sure. But there are way more than 4-5 of them.

Yes, I know people like this too. It's health anxiety that's morphed into full blown mental illness. I feel terrible for their children that have had a normal childhood and childhood experiences taken from them.

My kids travel, play sports, and have several extracurriculars each. They wear masks indoors. Nothing has been taken from them, unless you zealots make minding my kids' faces your business somehow and start some nonsense drama irl like you try here. They're fine. Leave them alone and you will be too.

DP. Your kids have been wearing masks indoors since march 2020? Like everywhere they go indoors, for almost 4 years? I’m actually curious because I had no idea people were doing that. In my world of working in person and sending kids to school, dcum is the only place Covid still exists.

I run HEPA filter Dyson fans in my house, and we don't usually mask at home. And yes, if we're indoors anywhere else, we mask, unless everyone has tested and the airflow is good. When my kid got covid, probably at public school, we all masked at home, and nobody else got it. We followed CDC protocol and masked everywhere, indoors and out, for the specified time. We only experienced this once (so far). I watch the numbers, and when there are surges/spikes, we mask more carefully, even outdoors. It's not a burden.

Nearly half my family is medically sensitive, and covid/long covid could really hurt me personally. I run more careful than most, but I don't think it's unreasonable (though I'm sure it seems that way to the "shrug, whatever" crowd). People calling caution a mental illness and being sad for people like me and my family... are probably a bit unwell themselves, IMO. Nothing about what we do harms anyone, and it may help protect the people mocking us.

Shrug. Whatever.

The only problem is that it is harming your kids.

My kids are honor students in AP programs, volunteer in their community, speak 2 languages and are learning a third, travel, have active social lives and extracurriculars... Harms them how, exactly?

The only way this harms my kids is if you raise your kids to bully mine for making different choices.

That's not their choice. You coerced, or perhaps blatantly forced, them.

+1. Don’t confuse your parenting with their choices.

Covid hospitalizations and deaths remain at their lowest winter levels since covid emerged despite minimal uptake of the new booster.

Thank you for pointing this out. There are many who have a vested interest in keeping the covid hysteria going.

Add in Pfizer's interest in pushing testing. While they don't manufacture tests, they do have a stake in increased testing so they can try to offset slumping sales of Paxlovid.

Who? Who are these mythical beings who just love the drama. Oh, wait...

Unless you're implying everyone here asking folx to vax and mask is a pfizer shill, you're the one who seems invested in the drama. If you see covid precautions as "hysteria", log off and go suck air indoors for a bit. Unmasked. For science.

So breathe while indoors? Surely you jest. I never breathe when I am inside.

Do you sleep and eat in a mask in your own home? Because if you ever take your mask off anywhere, include your own home, YOU ARE SUCKING AIR INDOORS.

I didn't force anything, nor could I, really. The moment they're out of my sight, they can take their mask off. It's not like I follow them. But I do educate them, and encourage them, and explain the reasoning.

My kids understand, even if some adults don't/won't.

Sure you didn’t force them but I guarantee you created major anxiety in them.

I know you’ll come back blathering about how they’re fine. They’re not.

When my kid was positive, we considered it a kindness/courtesy that cost us nearly nothing, and could keep others safe. Do you, PP. Leave us alone.

Do you mean that you sent your kid to school????? And felt like it was OK because you sent her/they/him with a mask?

Better than keeping her home.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

I know. It's crazy that some people think you should keep kids locked up at home over a cold.

It's not a fscking cold, you dipshit. It hasn't ever been, nor will it be, and even if it's "just a cold" to you, it's still a risk for long covid. Die first, please. You're too stupid.

Assuming you actually have a rational reason to be so scared of covid, it's a near statistical certainty that you will die first. And the world will be better for it. Too many people are a drain on society.
