[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think it’s irritating to live in a city where people aren’t following public health guidance.  But who typically say they follow science and experts.[/quote]

I’m concerned that there are so many parents in this city who know that things like outdoor mask-wearing (and in many cases, indoor mask-wearing) are not warranted, and yet go along out of a desire to comply and not be shamed or ostracized by their peers. I get it; being rejected is not fun for anyone.

But what is that teaching our kids? That if you think something is wrong, you should do it anyway because otherwise people might talk about you?[/quote]

I don't disagree with you at all and I do not want to teach my kid that.

But I also had a horrible experience in DC not that long ago with gossip/ostracism and it's made me extra sensitive to it. Plus the person who did it would 100% do it again if she had the chance (she hates me, I have never understood why) and she is one of the mask-all-the-time, don't you care about the vulnerable? people, and I'm afraid of her.

I feel like maybe DC has an above average number of this personality type -- the Tracy Flick hall monitor people who are looking for someone to step out of line so that they can pounce. I thought that personality type was a Hollywood creation until living here, but I've met more than one person like this. They scare me![/quote]
