[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge spike?  [/quote]

it’s honestly like these people get excited from contemplating a “huge” spike[/quote]

There is a difference between giving a warning and getting "excited."

If you don't already have long covid, and don't want to mask, fine. Go for it. [/quote]

We don't want mandates coming back because of those who want to mask and, most importantly, can't wait to force everyone to mask again.  In some places mandates already restarted.  The idea that we will continue living like this with masking and possibly lockdown waves every now and then and all the division and friction among people doesn't make me happy.  If it makes you happy, you are a sociopath.  We know that this virus isn't going away, it's a merry-go-round thing.  Masking and lockdowns didn't stop it even in places implementing most draconian measures.  And it's not about personal protection, this has been always available to everyone who wanted.  Some continued wearing masks and never stopped, they were not unicorns. 
 and nobody really cared about this until the usual "recommendations" that lead to mandates in some places first (already started) and then spread like cancer all over, into every classroom, office, store, public transit, etc.   [/quote]

It doesn’t make us “happy” to acknowledge that this is in fact what is happening. It is reality. There will be waves. They are disproportionately dangerous for some in our society and not to others. The question is: how do we respond to those facts?

Your preference is we all act like it’s not happening and some degree of eugenic selection occurs and in fact may even be celebrated (as it has been in this very thread).

My preference is a society that values inclusion of disabled people, and in a society like the one I want there will be some masking required—especially in places where personal presence is not optional.

For those of us who cannot take the chance of repeated COVID infection, those mask rules make us more free to move around the world with the same freedom you claim to so prize for yourself and in general.

We can each repeat ourselves about this forever. The bottom line is you are highly ideologically motivated to act like masks do not matter and I am highly motivated by a desire to keep living as normally as possible, and without additional disability, to act like they do. Don’t confuse that with whether I am “happy” about it or not.[/quote]

“inclusion” does not mandate that people take extreme steps like permanently covering their faces in public for a vanishingly small/nonexistent benefit to you. the “disability rights” trump card people like to try to play to force masking (ahem, ACLU) is  just a dishonest politicization of masking. because of course they don’t gaf about other disabilities that are harmed by masking. for you personally, I am sorry you are “immunocompromised” but it is your responsibility to mask yourself if you believe masks work.
