[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The mask mandate is a farce and political theater [/b]for everyone except our school aged kids.  I went to a show at the Fillmore silver spring yesterday and 5% of people were wearing masks.  I’m boostered and at this point, just want to get covid so I don’t have to worry about being stranded by international travel. [/quote]

Same.  Vaxed, boosted, and I'm hoping to (1) not catch it before an omicron booster is made available to me; or (2) catch it before my next international trip in April.  I'm not doing anything to make (1) happen.  It's not worth it, and I'm not sure it'll happen before April.  (2) is fine with me.  I'm sure it'll suck, but whatever.

With the R0 so high, and leaky (though excellent, amazing, and life-saving) vaccines, herd immunity is mathematically impossible.  (R0 - 1)/ R0 / VE.  Call me an armchair epidemiologist if you want.  I get it, most people are stupid, math is hard, and it's easier to lash out at people on the internet than it is to believe the hard truth.  In the United States, we won't even get close.[/quote]

Yes. I’m pp who went to the show.  My family and I have done everything we could.  We didn’t see family for a year.  We got all the vaccinations and boosters.  There’s nothing else I can do to protect ourselves except wearing a mask, which doesn’t seem to really be that effective, except to the extent MCPS actually follows through with their guidance that masked people don’t have to quarantine (and now that DS is vaccinated that doesn’t matter anyway).  Moco- stop changing the goalposts and let us choose to wear masks or not!  [/quote]
