[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grow up, be responsible and wear a mask. Really, how hard is that?[/quote] Being an obedient, irrational sheep is not something to brag about. You know that, right? As PPs have said, highly liberal jurisdictions like DC and Arlington don’t have mask mandates and are doing just fine. Also, as PPs have said it is all about control and not about science. Having no restrictions on having a two hour meal indoors next to other patrons and staff, but mandating wearing a mask when you are in CVS to run in and get some shampoo and use the self checkout makes absolutely no sense and has no bearing on science. Moving the goalposts on vaccination percentages because of a variant that is less lethal makes no sense as well. If our leaders actually made regulations based on science and concerns for public safety and not based on cynical political maneuvering, fear mongering, or to appease business interests a lot of us would take their recommendations in better faith.[/quote] We are still having high spread. That is not fine. [/quote] Yes, being vaccinated and I great shape and then getting a case of the sniffles is terrible.[/quote] So, you only care about yourself at best, given that is questionable. The sniffifles did not kill this many. [/quote] The people who are in serious risk are people who can already get vaccinated and have access to antibody treatments, drugs and other treatments that have been shown to lessen the effects of Covid on the off chance they get it even though they’re vaxed and boosted. A 7 year old shouldn’t have to go to school with a mask on for the next 10 years because a 300 pound 70 year old chooses to not take a free, readily available vaccine. And that will happen if we treat every single variant that emerges over the next 10 years like a national emergency and don’t deal with it in a measured, sane fashion.[/quote]
