[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting sick sucks and is so disruptive.  A cold, the flu, Covid.

Why are people so willing to be sick?  [/quote]

Do you know what's worse? Living with the extreme precautions that would be necessary to prevent mild illnesses.

Heck, let's imagine a magical world where masks are 100% effective. Hands down, I'd choose covid twice a year over wearing a mask all the time in public. Easily.[/quote]

DP. Obviously it’s a very individual thing. I don’t mind masks at all. I don’t know why it’s so hard to just say “to each their own.” The vitriol and energy about masking is ridiculous, and such a waste of time. Me wearing a mask does NOT mean I think we are still in 2020 or that Covid is a huge deal. Geez.

I recently completed active cancer treatment and I’m going to mask - I don’t want covid, flu, strep, etc. I don’t give a F what others do - not a teeny, tiny F.[/quote]

DP - I was a committed masker for at least the first two years of the pandemic. I still mask indoors in crowded situations most of the time. Sometimes, it would be incredibly inconvenient, whether it is going on vacation, being busy at work, an important event, etc., and it's worth it to me to mask to avoid getting sick. My approach also depends on how prevalent COVID and other illnesses are in the community. With so many people sick right now,  I'm happy that masking is more normalized. Before the pandemic, I was always sick from Thanksgiving through Christmas while dealing with family and work responsibilities. If wearing masks helps me avoid that, it's a small price to pay from my perspective.[/quote]
