[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot understand the kind of person who gets bothered by this.

Do you know how covid is spread? You need close, unventilated interactions for a period of time. There is zero indication covid is being spread running around in open, outdoor playgrounds, especially if kids are not constantly on top of each other.

What's even worse is these mask strictists often pretend to support science. I feel so bad for the kids who have parents that have uncontrolled mental health and rope the kids into their issues. [/quote]

That is the main way it is spread, but not the only way.  Kids are gross.  They sneeze and cough all over each other.  How does it hurt you if someone else wears a mask.  Not at all.[/quote]

If kids are sneezing and coughing they are supposed to stay home. I would not go near a masked or unmasked person who is sneezing or coughing.[/quote]

Tons of idiot parents out there will say...it's allergies or whatever and take their kid to the park.  Or kids just cough and sneeze sometimes for whatever reason.  Point is, kids are gross.  We love em, but they are gross.  And at the playground they will yell and scream while they are running around.    If kids are playing together on equipment and a parent wants their kid to mask up as an extra precaution, it is not unreasonable and doesn't impact YOU negatively at all, so why would you fight with them about it?  Why would you demean them as overly anxious or mentally unsound.

There are a lot of people on these threads who openly mock and question the sanity of people who continue to follow guidelines, which is rude and also asinine.  If you do that, you can't expect anyone to take you for anything but a person who is mean and has to rationalize your own rude behavior.  If you are so confident that you are fine with the risks you take, why would you demean others for choosing differently.

The truth is, none of you can definitely prove it one way or the other.  We simply cannot.  We don't have adequate data.  People go with the assumptions that fit their own worldview.[/quote]
