Store employees being harassed or even physically harmed for asking customers to wear their mask per store policy.

It decreased when it became state mandated. There are too many stoopid people still not getting vaccinated, I think we're jumping the gun a bit here.


If adults haven’t gotten vaxxed by now they probably aren’t planning to, so we have to live with those numbers.

10% of kids have long Covid. You must be a terrible driver.



Omg. Just omg. This is the level of misinformation and fear mongering we’re dealing with here. Lord have mercy!

Where on earth are you getting 10% of kids with long covid? They really don't have enough data to have any sort of accurate numbers on how many kids who get covid have long haul symptoms, but its only a percentage of those who are hospitalized, which is a small percentage of kids who test positive for Covid.

Yup. Midnight at tonight. Individual stores can still require them, but it's not a state mandate.

Eh, I'll go with the flow. If it seems like 20% are unmasked, I'll take it off. But admittedly I don't want to be the only one.

That said, I've been going to the gym (unmasked, pre-vaccinated) since they reopened last June, so this is no biggie. People were never getting covid from going to the grocery store or Home Depot.
