[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel free to limit your activities and find a virtual school for your child if you are concerned. My family is going to continue to live our life. That means going to work and school, in person. Our son is going to go to Scouts and play his rec sports and hang out with friends. we might eat at a restaurant on occasion and we are going to travel to see family and friends. We will wear masks indoors, get boosted when we need to, and be careful when anyone is sick. We have home tests for when someone has a cold, to be certain that it is a cold, and will go for more reliable test if we are concerned.

But life goes on and we are going to move on with it.

But you do you. [/quote]

Life goes on for this family, just not for the waiters, dishwashers, housecleaners, secretaries, nannies, tutors, scout leaders, Sunday school teachers, etc that they infect "living their lives." [/quote]

Yup. We are the Scout leaders so not really worried. The kids wear masks at the meetings and we wipe everything down when we are done. So far there have not been any sick kids or adults. One child was a close contact so we added him to a meeting via Zoom.

We don't have a Nanny or attend Sunday school or have house cleaners.

We don't go out if we show symptoms, we do test with home tests when we have symptoms.

Everyone is vaccinated and boosted. Not sure what your complaint is. The whole point of getting vaccinated and boosted and being cautious is to return to normal, with reasonable modifications.

COVID is not likely to go away. The best we can do is take reasonable precautions and live life, so that is what we are doing. [/quote]

Wearing a mask for 2+ years is not “reasonable”. Neither is your faith in the hygiene theater of cleaning (for an airborne virus).

Returning to normal is returning to normal. COVID will be here forever and everyone will get it. You’re just lamely trying to delay the inevitable [/quote]

NP- and we will get back to normal, but I think it is stupidity to do it now.  Far as I’m concerned people who feel like you do that they don’t need masks can do it as long as it is a voluntary situation (not medical or educational) but a business.  You all can be the omicron guinea pigs.  The rest of us will watch and start unmasking in the summer when things seem to spread less seasonally.[/quote]

You say that now, and when summer comes you're going to decide to keep the mask on because case numbers are surging in Florida and you feel the need to demonstrate your superiority. [/quote]

Weird that you get all worked up when someone else chooses to wear a mask. [/quote]

I do for a non-elderly person who wears a mask, especially a man (it’s so emasculating). When I see a dad from APS out in public wearing a mask, I know who wears the pants in that family.[/quote]

Scout parent here. We wear masks because they help prevent the spread of COVID. We also wear masks because it a requirement of the locations where we meet. We wear masks because some parents are very cautious and we don't want to exclude kids because there are people who don't like masks.  It does help decrease the chance of getting sick.  It is not hard to do and it does not harm anyone.

I appreciate how out of touch you are though since you are assuming that I am a man. Clearly you are not paying a lot of attention to BSA and have no clue how many women are leading Dens and Packs and Troops and support their kids Packs/Troops. I won't bother to share my gender with you. I am not surprised that someone who has such a strong opinion about people who wears mask is sexist as hell. [/quote]
