[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the real world, there are no mask mandates.  No one is forcing anyone to do anything.  So I wonder, what is wrong with all the angry anti-mask, anti-test people on this thread.  why are you even on this thread?   No one who is more cautious than you is hurting you? WTF is wrong with you? [/quote]

Some are trolls

Many of us are people who genuinely want to do the right thing, but also find some of the amateur public health advice and moralizing ("I'm a good citizen and you are not!") shared on DCUM to this day pretty dumb and irresponsible. [/quote]

To be fair, you have to include the context that those comments are usually in reaction to those saying they DGAF and Covid is a lie/over/overblown, you name it.  I don't hear "I'm a good citizen and you're not", I hear "don't be an ahole".  I think there is a distinction.  [/quote]

I think you'll find the COVID deniers actually love being called murderers for not wearing masks because it truly makes you look unhinged. I recommend reserving that term for people who perpetuate anti vax myths because those people are truly responsible for a  lot of death and the data clearly show this. Not so much for anti-maskers, as annoying as those people were at the height of the pandemic.[/quote]

PP here.  I agree with you, and have not called anyone a murderer.  [/quote]

Frankly I think any moralizing about masking is really dumb especially given the benefits are marginal. Unfortunately COVID is out there and you risk catching it when you socialize with others.[/quote]

This is the correct answer. People shouldn’t have to mask anymore to make others comfortable. If you don’t want covid, wear a mask in public. It’s the only fair way. Asking others to mask is unreasonable at this point. [/quote]

I just think it's hilarious that people refuse to wear a mask when they are actually sick and contagious, but they think other people should wear masks any time they are in pubic. Wearing a mask when you have symptoms but aren't sick enough where you need to stay home, isn't to make other comfortable - it's to try to avoid transmitting your actual illness to them.[/quote]

I just had a raging cold that lasted 2+ weeks - not covid. I was never sick enough to stay home or miss work. But my nose was a faucet and I was coughing. Not wearing a mask. Didn’t do it before Covid, not doing it now. [/quote]

I wonder what two days of rest would have done to your raging cold...when I am coughing and constantly blowing my nose, I stay home.[/quote]
