[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still can't believe we are in year 2, stretching toward year 3, of a pandemic and people are still calling others sheep about wearing masks and getting boosters.

At this point, I am done. I will stay home and you people bleating about masks can be done and get some Covid already. Die or don't die, overwhelm the hospitals and cause others to die, I don't care any longer. Go cause a situation like the current one in Michigan. It's what you want, so go right ahead. You are already just pretending if you wear cloth masks anyhow.

You can already take off your mask and hang out in a packed restaurant or bar if you want to. Even in MoCo.
Go for it. [/quote]

Stop being so melodramatic. I have a vaccine and a booster. A lot of people are just wondering why MoCo is so high strung about Covid measures compared to its educated, highly liberal neighbors like Arlington and DC who seem to think that they don’t need a mask mandate. Muriel Bowser and the Arlington County government aren’t Ron DeSantis. What makes MoCo residents uniquely susceptible to Covid compared to people in these other jurisdictions? It seems to me and a lot of other Democratic voting MoCo residents that we are being led by a bunch of irrational hypochondriacs.[/quote]

You can go into any restaurant or bar in MoCo and eat or drink maskless. 
Like I said, knock yourselves out.

You just can't go maskless into a grocery store or a pharmacy. I think most residents of DC and Arlington have enough sense to do this, and then don't care what happens in the poorer areas.

In MoCo, a large swath of the county is the poorer area, both white poverty or LMC and POC. There are a million people. A lot of them are living multiple families to a house or apartment and poorly educated and the Trumpers don't have much sense--so would refuse to mask in a logical place like pharmacy. In Bethesda, or the wealthier areas, most people would have enough sense to go to the gym without a mask and wear a mask to get groceries or pick up drugs. Not so in my area of the MoCo, as I even saw during the height of the pandemic. [/quote]

This is the most classist, racist garbage I’ve seen in this thread. This is why minorities and the working class is moving far away from the Democrats, a party that supposedly represents them.

It makes no logical sense to wear a mask if you don’t have close exposure for someone for a long period of time, like running in a 7-11 to get a coffee at 5 am. It does make sense to wear a mask when you’re having dinner next to another couple that is 5 feet away from you. Yet supposedly educated like you don’t see how ridiculous it is for there to be mask regulations for the former and not the latter.[/quote]
