What does Alexandria and read the room have to do with anything. Is Alexandria a mask wearing tribe? What are the risks to the triple vaxxed, how does that compare to flu and other viruses, how exactly effective are a lot of these masks?

When you see the camera pan the room, every single other person is masked

Go to an Alexandria restaurant and no one is wearing a mask. Saw a concert at the Birchmere and no one was wearing a mask. When does it end? Does what we are doing make sense? We are two years in and it is time to be asking those questions IMO.

This is such a silly statement. What does the length of time of this pandemic have to do with infection rates (sky high), death rates (sky high), and transmissibility (with omicron, very high). You sound childish. Whether two months, two years, or five years, wearing masks to protect the continued spread of this virus is common sense.

And now truth about covid today: it is less of a risk, according to official and reliable government data, than many typical daily activities we engage in without fear. Per a recent NYT article:

"Once you get a booster, your risk of getting severely ill from Covid is tiny. It is quite small even if you are older or have health problems. The average weekly chance that a boosted person died of Covid was about one in a million during October and November (the most recent available C.D.C. data). That risk is not zero, but it is not far from it. The chance that an average American will die in a car crash this week is significantly higher — about 2.4 per million. So is the average weekly death rate from influenza and pneumonia — about three per million. With a booster shot, Covid resembles other respiratory illnesses that have been around for years. "

The Biden administration is blowing the messaging and losing the narrative. The only - and I mean only - number that matters is a numerator over a denominator that defines your likelihood of dying from covid. And if you're fully boosted, that number is now virtually 0.

Everything else is noise...mask quality, ventilation, social distancing, etc etc. It mattered early on, but not anymore. Cases don't matter, except as they might 'overwhelm' hospitals...though we cannot live under that threat forever.

Every credible expert outside of the administration is calling for rapid reduction of restrictions, starting with masks. I truly hope Biden's experts get control of the narrative - the economy is booming and the vaccines work, but no one feels better because we are still being told to hunker down. It's bad politics, and inconsistent with the science and facts on the ground.

And yes, it is why Youngkin won - democrats never offered an off ramp. Mask forever, school shutdowns no big deal, and so on. Should we rip the masks off kids now while omicron is still a threat? No. But where was/is the offramp metrics from Duran? APS? Arlington County? Democratic controlled Richmond?

Scream at me if you want, but remember:

Science is real. Wearing a mask is now political theater.

OMG, sounds like this author needs to learn to "read the room," it doesn't matter what the science says or the statistics say, what is important is that they comply.

The science says that masks reduce transmission of Covid. That's the science. The terms "science" and "data" are being co-opted by the anti-vax MAGA crew, and enough already. If you want the science then wear a damn mask and get your vaccine.

Depends on which study you look at. The "science" says that N95 masks reduce transmission. And, those have to be fitted properly. Do a little research.

I am vaxxed, boosted, and have had Covid along with my family and most of my friends and coworkers.

I have worked in person throughout this pandemic, as has my spouse, while our school aged kids were in daycare. Not every job can be done from your basement while you wait for Amazon Fresh to bring your kombucha.

I am done with masks and I am done with karens trying to tell me how to live my life.

If you want to walk around wearing a properly fitting N95 respirator, fine, have fun with that.

Fear is not virtuous.

95% of the people in that store appear to be masked. Youngkin did not read the room.

Who cares? If they are wearing their properly fitted n95 masks they are extra extra super safe from the virus that presents no meaningful risk to them if they are vaccinated.

Of course they can still take their mask off to hit happy hour with their friends...

What a hypocrite YOU are. You wanna complain about "karens" yet here YOU are, karening your head off hiding behind an anonymous message board on a daily basis. Take a long hard look in the mirror at yourself.

Telling people, "you do you, leave me out of it," is the opposite of being a karen.

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.

Seriously, both of my under 5 kids have recently had covid and literally all they did was sneeze a little bit more. No fever, no lack of energy, no coughing, nothing. We were lucky, but it’s not unusual. But they’ve been out of daycare for 2+ weeks at this point. People need to get over it and with testing negative taking 10 days on pcr it is some BS.

I thought resisting peer pressure and sticking to one’s convictions were the ideal goals. Now the diehard maskers are apparently in ideological agreement with the Borg.

Actually, this is a good thing. As soon as more than half of Alexandria takes their masks off the other half is obligated to immediately take theirs off as well.

Why do I suspect this is going to be another case where this doesn't work in reverse?

The right wing anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers are far worse where it comes to mindlessly behaving like the Borg Collective.

They are mentally locked into irrational blind faith that if they ignore covid enough, if they fight against masks and vaccines hard enough, it will somehow magically go *poof* and disappear.
