[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family of 6.  All except the little one are vaxxed.  DW and I will continue masking in stores as long as our youngest isn't vaccinated.[/quote]

Going to stores is an awfully low-risk activity. What do you during activities that involve higher-risk exposures, such as family gatherings, daycare, and school? Work might be another another, depending on what you do.[/quote]

Most maskers aren't being logical about masking. They won't wear masks around visiting family or close friends because we all know, deep inside, you don't get COVID from family and friends. But a stranger at a supermarket who is 20 feet away from you? Get out the biohazard suits!

It's human psychology. We build artificial barriers and assumptions and beliefs in our minds because it's the only way we feel we have a grip on the situation and a sense of control. Most of it is ultimately false, of course, just as wearing flimsy cloth masks for nearly two years was just theatre, but it made you *feel good*.

And in the DMV it's also heavily tied to virtue signaling, even if it is subconsciously done. [/quote]

LOL. You act like the anti-maskers aren't signaling their views by their bravado and cries of "but my rights." Ok, Jan.[/quote]

No, just following science.

Does the science say masks are harmful?[/quote]

people (on both sides) who say this cherry pick the "science" so that it syncs up with their sentiments.[/quote]

Following CDC guidance is cherry-picking? Ok.[/quote]

PP here.  Am not referring to CDC (although that's arguable given their lousy track record the past 2 years).  What I'm referring to is "science" showing certain data points from 1-2 studies which supports one POV but if you look at other studies, they paint a different picture.  Contrary to what people want to believe "following the science" with regard to covid is very difficult to do.[/quote]
