[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for masking up if you're sick and absolutely must go out, but it's really getting ridiculous for everyone to be wearing masks without any indication that they're sick or contagious. AND we have vaccines that overwhelmingly, hugely reduce the severity is virtually everyone.

If a business requires it, the obviously respect the owner's wishes. But as a general trend, at what point can we agree that wearing a mask to run an errand is necessary? I say that as someone who is an essential employee and works in person. And I will go on record saying that it's also essential to see people's faces and expressions, at the very least because it's a big form of human communication. And I also say this as someone with Muslim family members who wear niqab (face coverings) - it's a human benefit to see each other's faces as a default (and not mask as the default)

Are you really that much of a germphobe? Are you really severely vulnerable and not vaccinated? Or are you doing it because everyone's doing it? If so, when are you doing to stop with masking indoors? I don't understand why societally, we're continuing to mask when feeling healthy. [/quote]

What is wrong with you?  "feel healthy" means nothing and that's what is keeping us in this mess.  People believe they are "healthy" and don't think twice about spreading it.  Why do you need to see my mouth and nose?  You aren't going to talk to me, you aren't going to see me again.  You realize if  you want to be friendly, saying hello can go a long way.

Maybe women covering up wearing a niqab have it the right way as it gives them some protection.

If you aren't masking indoors near me, I am not going to get close enough to you where you can even see my face, so why does it matter?  If I see someone unmasked I purposely walk away from them and if they get close to us/especially my kids, I'll pull them back/away if they don't hear me to tell them to move.

I am NOT going to get covid from someone like you.[/quote]
