[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, you've shown that masks actually prevent the spread of covid, but that doesn't mean we should mask HERE.  It's totally okay to spread Covid HERE.

Nevermind about long covid.  Nevermind that even mild cases of covid cause elevated heart risk issues in 3% above what's normal of the population post infection.  Nevermind about this B2 variant that spreads more quickly and is more dangerous that B1 Omicron and is causing concern in other countries.  If you're not okay with getting or spreading a little bit of covid at this point, your only goal must be zero covid or lowest covid possible and any sacrifices to get there must be worth it.  Like some of us have other considerations besides physical health in mind when having an opinion.  Such as, from earlier comments in this and other threads:  Lipstick.  Seeing people's beautiful smiles.

Covid spread is quite low here right now.  If you aren't unwilling to unmask now, you're never going to be willing to unmask.  One reasonable course of action is to unmask when cases are low and re-evaluate as you go along.   If the B2 variant is coming for us, well I'll be glad I got a masking break and I'll put my mask back on.

The snark about it only being about lipstick and smiles is lame.  If you can't see why humans don't want to wear masks all the time, then you don't see it.  And if you can't see why it might not be great for kids to grow up for years on end wearing masks, then you don't see it.

I would be willing to unmask right now if I didn’t have a super expensive international trip coming up for spring break. Not willing to have the whole family go down over the next four weeks when we’ve made it this far. You have no idea why people are still masking. i know my reason is purely selfish and privileged.
