[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I struggle w is that while we all worked hard, too many didn’t (non DC folks) and they made it political, about freedom and BS like that.[/quote]

But why do you struggle with this in terms of making choices for DC? This is the part I don’t understand. When people say things like “Our vac rate is reasonably high, and we have other effective precautions in place (like testing, vaccines for adults and many kids, and health screenings), so maybe we should remove the mask mandate which might be hard on our kids given how long it’s gone on,” people will instantly lump you in with those folks in other places who made everything political and oppose masks on principle and won’t vaccinate. It’s so frustrating.

There is a loud minority contingent in DC who view any attempt to shift our handling of Covid (not eliminate, but shift to a new phase) as some kind of conservative incursion. It’s maddening. We’re your neighbors! We’re vaccinated. Many of us have been incredible careful the last two years (this is a fact— DC has among the most Covid cautious population in the US, and more cautious than most European countries as well). Maybe start giving us the benefit of the doubt on by some of this stuff? Even if you don’t agree, perhaps don’t accuse us of being selfish, anti-science jerks? We’re not.[/quote]
