[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t get PP’s black and white thinking.  Either she wears masks for the rest of her life around her friends or she drops them entirely?  I wear a mask if I’m in a crowded indoor location where I’m not taking or exercising.  It decreases my risk and is almost no burden to me.  [/quote]

Yes, I don't understand this either.  It's either decide to wear masks now and forever and ever amen or drop them entirely?  Science progresses.  Circumstances change.  I think people are creating this strawman to make their choice of ignoring the health risks to their families seem more logical.  Given the huge amount of progress made on covid over the last 2 years, it's not logical to think covid safety won't further progress for the next 40 years, but that's what folks are telling themselves to make dropping safeguards seem like a balanced choice.  It isn't fact based or truthful, but it's convenient.

Same with the argument that everyone will get covid eventually so why bother with masks.  High quality masks have been proven to work.  People who don't wear them will on the whole get covid more frequently and/or get exposed to higher more debilitating doses of it when they do, and will spin the long covid and decreased immunity lotteries every time.  That's why it's reasonable to bother, on the whole, and many people don't find it very difficult.  But hey, we all have to make and live with our own choices.  [/quote]

Yeah, just like the flu. Do you remember what it was like before we had a cure for influenza?

Oh wait…

But don’t worry— it’s not masking forever. Just for the rest of your life. [/quote]
