[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know, that's why I am getting all in person shopping I need done in the next five days, since I have a chronic health condition and all. Have fun not wearing a mask after that![/quote] You're still allowed to wear a mask even without a mask mandate. To see this in action, travel to any other county in MD except PG.[/quote] Duh. I know that. But it's not as protective for either party. Hence the shopping before all the other people's masks come off. [/quote] And, also why I don't shop in the other nearby counties. Went to a park near Frederick, and we when pick up some dinner to go, no one but us was wearing a mask. Our masks help, but it's not as effective. Just pointing out that some of us with chronic illnesses will have to curtail activities so the antimaskers won't have a bother with wearing a mask. I am ok with it, saves me money, and hopefully business owners where I usually shop or pick up dinner will be ok with it as well. [/quote] Serious question: If you are vaccinated and wearing a mask, isn't the risk negligible? You aren't in a store for very long and you aren't particularly close to others. [/quote] Wearing a mask protects others from you, but doesn’t provide you much protection from others. Vaccines are great, but not foolproof, and their protection apparently wanes over time. Whether a risk is acceptable probably depends on an individual’s health, family situation, and general tolerance for risk. However, especially considering COVID is so new that we’re still learning about it and that it continues to evolve, I wouldn’t say the risk is negligible. [/quote]
