[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are some of you people so obsessed with masks? Its creepy. They have become a religious talisman of protection.

As for me, I'm never doing any of this again, and I will actively fight it next time. I put up with this shit last time even though I disagreed with it, but this is stupid. Seriously I never thought I would find myself agreeing with republicans but here we are.

I don't think restrictions will happen though, bc politics....we have elections in november lol.[/quote]

Why are some people so obsessed with being anti mask? Seriously- what’s the big deal about covering your goddamn mouth and nose during a pandemic in a public indoor space like a grocery store? Go about living your personal life as you please, see people indoors, risk getting covid or whatever you want, but what is the big deal about having some decency in a public, non social place like a supermarket where everyone - those who don’t care about covid, those who are being careful, the immunocompromised, the pregnant woman, the elderly, or the parent with a vaccine ineligible kid in tow- must shop? [/quote]

Americans are selfish and reject science when it affects their lifestyle. 
They claim to have Christian values but don’t care about their fellow man at all. 
I’ve found the human response to Covid to be very sad. I feel a little depression all the time that people care so little about others.

A. Grocery stores have never been hotbeds of transmission because people aren't interacting with each other for long periods of time and the vast majority of people do not have COVID (exception was during the Omicron surge). Most people I've seen are still wearing masks in these settings, as am I, because what's the big deal, but I wear a cloth mask since I don't want to waste my respirators that are actually effective. Honestly, my cloth mask is just for show.
B. Wearing a mask for hours each day is a different matter. Most people insisting that children or others continue to mask all day long, do not have to do so themselves. While COVID cases are low, it makes a lot of sense to give people a break, since masking does NOT eliminate transmission and very few people even have COVID so their mask is not protecting anybody.[/quote]

Nope. Your information is out of date. This has not been true since the beginning of Omicron, which transmits in seconds.[/quote]
