[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am vaxxed and boosted. I wear a mask in public because I don't want to catch covid. I lost valuable time I could have spent with my dad dying of cancer due to covid. My children lost over a year in school due to covid. I spent at least 1 year entirely isolating from the outside world and then many months to now being cautious and calculated about my interactions with the public.  Why in the hell would I have done any of that to just get covid now because people want to throw a middle finger to science and refuse to vax, boost and/or wear a mask due to personal freedom bs?[/quote]

Wear your mask.  No one says you can’t.  That isn’t what is happening.  But you shouldn’t get to tell me that I have to wear a mask forever.  No one has researched the affect of masks long term on asthmatics. But I can tell you my sons asthma was gone before the Covid masks. No meds or episodes for two years.  Now he takes maintenance again twice a day.  So your personal issues are guiding your choices and mine are guiding mine.  Yours are not more important to me than mine. That is the deal. [/quote]

I have asthma and wearing a mask has had absolutely no effect. Same with my brother who has asthma. [/quote]

I'm glad for you.  What is your job.  A lot of us with white collar work have been able to stay home or go to an office and remove the masks when we are alone. Not kids in school.  Mask is on all day except for 15 or so minutes during lunch.  And my kids were lucky enough to have a school that opened for most of last year.  So he has been wearing a mask for 8 hours for about 8-9 months of the last 15.  Can you really say that about yourself and your brother.  UNLESS you are a teacher or work in retail, I doubt it.  Even doctors go into their offices and remove the masks for a time. NOT THE KIDS.  It is criminal.[/quote]

You don't speak for everyone Drama LLama, I've yet to hear one kid complain about wearing a mask to school, or anywhere really. It is just something they do if they want to go to a friend's house, to school, or into the grocery store.

I think masks are really annoying and couldn't fathom spending all day in one. I am lucky enough to have been working from home for almost two years now. The reason why I find them annoying is psychological.

I have a whole lot of years behind me in which I never had to even think about wearing a mask. Kids, mine included, especially elementary kids, not so much. When you've only been on the planet 7-10 years, wearing a mask for going on 2 years now, really isn't a big deal. It's a habit and a small price to pay to be able to resume elements of normalcy.

And yes I do wear a mask when I am going into public spaces. It is such a small thing and I am an adult and able to endure a bit of psychological discomfort in order to do my part. Because I recognize that wearing a mask doesn't equal giving up my freedoms, not even close, it helps to limit my exposure levels to a virus that has made a lot of people very sick. I have been lucky in that I haven't caught it yet, nor has anyone in my household. I have bigger things to worry about, masking up for the good of my community is a very small ask.

Criminal is all of the nutty parents projecting crazy onto their kids. Own it you and all of your fellow book banners, mask banners, and history banners are total loons. I've never seen anything like this embrace of chaos and conflict. Honestly, you people are taking years off of your lives. [/quote]
