- Is it just about getting people to get a booster?
- wear a mask indefinitely (in which settings? A full day at school/work? Just the grocery store?)
- avoid any "optional" indoor social activities?
- Pull children out from in-person school/daycare?[/quote]

[b]It's virtue signaling. They've made their personality about COVID and can't let it go. [/b]They just love to prove to everyone that they're such a great person by wearing a mask and avoiding crowds!

Thankfully, I don't see anyone on my FB feed going on and on about COVID. I haven't seen anything from my friends on COVID in months. It's just here on DCUM where I see the hand wringing. IRL, I don't know anyone who cares about this anymore. [/quote]

At this point it seems to be mostly this. And the specific ppl I know who do this had some anxiety and attention-seekimg tendencies pre-Covid.

I am actually pretty cautious myself but I don't post about it on FB etc. Mostly bc[b] I know nobody cares about my opinion of how they should conduct their lives[/b], ha.

I see there is a PP who is a HCW and I did have one HCW friend who feels similarly that ppl take these gratuitous risks and then HCWs bear the burden of overcrowded hospitals, extra shifts etc and it's exhausting and unfair and sucks. Which totally makes sense. But I haven't seen any HCWs I personally know posting about it on FB etc anymore. Seems more like ppl without much else going on.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, this is the thing. Why do people feel they need to make pronouncements about what public health measures everyone else should be taking? That is what public health officials are for, and if you don't like what they are saying, take it up with them. Everyone knows about COVID. We've all made our choices, whether you like them or not. We have our reasons, some good, some bad. Random posts on social media are not going to change anyone's behavior.[/quote]Why don’t you consider why this actually bothers you? If you’re secure in your behavior, you shouldn’t care what someone else posts on SM about COVID precautions.

Hit the unfollow button and keep it moving.[/quote]

Sorry you don't think I should have posted about it. Why did you click on the thread if you think this topic is so silly? Stop posting here and keep it moving.[/quote]
Nope. See I’m commenting on an actual post. Which is what you should be doing to the ones that bother you. Instead you run to another site and start a complaint thread.

Looks like I hit the nail on the head though that people are commenting on things you’re actually not secure about. [/quote]

Sounds to me like you are pushing made up rules about who can post what on DCUM because you are bothered by what I posted. Where do your insecurities come from?[/quote]
This is rich. You made a post complaining about what someone else posts on SM. Then proceed to complain when others comment on your post here. This isn’t an echo chamber so you’re going to have to deal with other people posting here. [/quote]

You can post all you want but making up rules to suggest I should not have posted in the first place is a dumb non-argument. Sorry you don't like getting called out.[/quote]
I love your double standards. You’ve been trying to push others of the thread because you don’t like their feedback. It’s ok for you, right? [/quote]

What is your specific feedback? So far all I can gather is that you don't think I'm allowed to comment on a trend I've seen on numerous social media sites, on this particular site.[/quote]
You should discuss your COVID issues with the person that you have the issue with. [/quote]

So you don't have any actual feedback apart from that you don't like that I posted about this issue here. Thanks.[/quote]
LOL. Your feedback is to discuss the issue with the person you are mad at. Why are you so scared to do that? [/quote]

Do you tell everyone in your life exactly what you think? WTF is the point of an anonymous forum if not to vent about things we can't speak publicly about? Especially about COVID precautions in the DMV, the place where anyone who doesn't want to mask their 2 yo is a "Trumper".[/quote]

Why are you so against covid precautions?  Why does it matter to you if someone masks?  Why do you need to bully others into not masking?  Trump is long gone. Biden is to blame now.[/quote]

How about those who bully others about vaccination, boosting, etc?[/quote]

Not the PP, but bullying is wrong in general.  But it is curious to me how many people have really dug in on the vaccines/boosters when at this point it's clear now that they are more about improving outcomes than preventing spread.  My friend got married this summer and there was a vaccination/booster requirement for attend, even for kids.  Now, most of the invitees were vaxxed anyway.  But one of her niece's wasn't, not for political reasons, but because she had gotten Covid around the time the 5-11 vaccine was authorized and was going to be turning 12 soon so the ped had advised just to wait and get that instead.  My friend still wouldn't make an exception because there were "vulnerable people attending."  A bunch of us ended up getting Covid at the wedding anyway, despite the non-vaxxed 11yo's absence. :lol:[/quote]

+1 So dumb. I don't mind a vax requirement but there are legitimate reasons for many to delay it. No requirement should be this rigid.[/quote]
