[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this stage Youngkin has every right not to wear a mask while the bellowing shopper has every right to wear a mask.[/quote]

Is he also free to ignore no shirt/no shoes/no service signs?[/quote]
No, he should abide by the property owners rules.

Was there a rule in this store requiring a mask? [/quote]

NO! I shop there.[/quote]

What store was it?[/quote]

People need to stop claiming, into their own echo chamber, that Youngkin was deliberately not wearing a mask in defiance of a mask requirement at Safeway. This is the Safeway at the Bermuda Triangle of Quaker/King/Braddock next to Bradlee Shopping Center. It looks like a space ship or something out of Star Wars. If you are familiar with Alexandria you know exactly where tis is.

There is NO mask requirement for this grocery store. None. There used to be a sign that asked you to wear a mask if you hadn't been vaccinated, but I don't know if that has been taken down. Regardless, Youngkin has already publicly stated he is vaccinated. He didn't have to wear a mask there. People need to unclench and let go.

I was at two Aldis today, the one on Monroe in Del Ray and the one on Duke near Foxchase.  Both had small signs you could barely see inside that said masks were encouraged if you weren't vaccinated. There is no mask mandate in Alexandria. Businesses I believe can require masks, but most are NOT doing it. Please stop the insanity with just assuming there are mask requirements or that all Alexandrians wear masks.  Screaming at each other, shaming people, it's pitiful.[/quote]

Well, I mean if there is no mask required in the store I'm certain that Covid will abide by that and politely stay outside so that the good shoppers of Alexandria are safe. [/quote]

DP.  It certainly was safe enough for all the masked people to take off their masks and eat lunch together - laughing and talking while sitting right next to one another.  I guess Covid knows when the masks are on and when they’re off.  So curious.   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Yup, that always seemed silly to me too but it is still best to mitigate when it is pretty easy to do so. I mean, certainly there is some middle ground to be had otherwise restaurants would be closed for good more than have already closed, but that doesn't mean you don't wear a mask indoors when it otherwise makes sense to do so.

There is hypocrisy all over the place. How many MAGA types post memes about playing in dirt as a kid "building their natural immunity" but somehow because a mask you wear in the store is just "too filthy" to build natural immunity?

People are not good at assessing their actual level of risk if they were good at it we wouldn't need seatbelt laws and even more frightening we wouldn't need laws for car seats for children. People honestly argued that it would be safer to be thrown clear from the car than wear a seatbelt. How many times did someone have to call an ambulance moments after some well adjusted adult who knew the risk and properly assessed their own ability said "hold my beer"?[/quote]
