[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I know there are a lot of people on this board who aren’t from the DC area and I’m curious where OP and a lot of other posters to this thread live. Here in the DC area I still see tons of people wearing masks and I just don’t hear that much complaining or asking when other people are going to stop.  You certainly don’t get funny looks if you wear one and no one has ever asked me when I plan to stop. [/quote]

OP here. DC area, born and raised.

Yes about 80% of people are masked still in stores and things, but it seems like most are doing it because everyone's doing it, and people are waiting for others to make the move to stop wearing them before they follow suit. I just don't see the sense in it anymore. Vaccinated people are very, very rarely experiencing severity and to continue to insist on masking for healthy people is becoming absurd. [/quote]

What is “severity” to you may be something different to someone else. I’m vaxxed and boosted and have been pretty sick with Covid for 5 days now. My siblings just had it and they were all sick for a week. I spoke to a friend of mine who is a doctor and she said most of her vaxxed/boosted patients are having sinus like congestion for 7-10 days. Can you understand how a lot of people don’t want to get sick like that, since it’s more than a cold?! [/quote]

Based on what you described, it certainly sounds like a moderately bad cold to me.

Have people forgotten what it is like to get sick?[/quote]

You are welcome to it then. Shall I take off my mask for you? [/quote]

Yes, please. I had Covid. It felt like the same cold I get every winter including winter 2021 when we were still distancing and wearing masks everywhere.

I was honestly relieved to get it over with.

Oh and we didn't get it from any of the things every thinks are risky like social gathering, stores, or the gym. We got it from our son who got it at school where everyone has to wear a mask. [/quote]

Good for you. I had Covid too and felt like I was going to die for two weeks.[/quote]
