[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it bother you so much if I wear a mask in the Safeway? I will continue to do so until community spread is super low, as someone stated above. Honestly, you people who are pushing others to drop the mask are so weird. [/quote]

I haven’t read all the many pages of responses but would like to answer this question sincerely. My kids do not ever get a break from masking at school and it’s clear to me it’s affecting them. My 6 yo was convinced for months his teacher hated him and he had no friends. Teachers were so surprised by this because my kids is a “good kid.”  But he just can’t get a feel for emotions under a mask. My 3rd grader now wants to wear a mask all the time like it’s some sort anonymity shield. This shit is not okay. They are both fully vaxxed and deserve a normal life. I unmask whenever I can so this community can start to normalize unmasked faces in hope that my kids can have some semblance of a normal childhood. [/quote]

I'm sorry if your children are struggling.  You are assuming the mask is the 6 year olds problem.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

The topic of this thread is directed at people who choose to continue to mask.  There are so many reasonable reasons given.  If we aren't bothering you or your children, why do you care if we mask in a store?  You shouldn't.  It has nothing to do with what is happening at your school.  Lots of schools are going optional right now.

I'm sick and tired of the anti-maskers whining all the frickin time.

If maskers view masking through the lens of self-interest, fine (although I think they're likely overestimating the benefits of masking).  But many of the "reasonable" responses you cite speak of masking to protect others, to do the right thing, because it's just a piece of fabric, etc.  This smug, largely unjustified point of view is how we end with idiotic and ineffective universal masking policies, and these policies do affect the majority of folks who don't wish to wear a mask indefinitely.
