When I got off the plane in Orlando last week, I saw airport workers and sheriff's deputies in the terminal who weren't wearing masks.

Once we walked out of the terminal, maybe 1% of the people we saw were masked during our time there.

Something happened to a lot of people in this area that broke them during this pandemic.

I guess only broken people want to avoid getting a novel virus that causes long-term symptoms in an unknown percentage of those infected. I suppose only broken people would prefer not to have their lives disrupted by illness, want to avoid having to isolate themselves from infected family members, or risk infecting vulnerable people. That makes perfect sense.

This. Most smarter people are continuing to wear masks as they go about interacting with others.

Think it's about two weeks too soon to declare victory over spring break; most people aren't going to announce they are testing positive at home. I mean, hopefully hospitalizations will stay flat and this will start becoming endemic, but it's really too soon to tell.

So your theory is that people outside the DMV are universally dumb beyond the tiny percentage of people still masking in other areas? You think people in DC are just more informed and inherently better at risk assessment than people who live in places like NYC, Boston, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle? Not just red states, but in very liberal areas with lots of highly educated progressives? For that matter, what about most of Canada and Europe, as well? Your saying DC is just smarter and better than people all these other places, that we alone understand Covid, the we are the only ones properly estimating the risk?

Is it at least a little big possible you are wrong about this? Do you have any doubts at all about it or are you 100% on it?

Or maybe we're smarter and don't want to get a disease which can cause brain damage, so we do a really easy thing and wear a mask.

So, what's your endgame? You'll have to restrict your life pretty severely in order to avoid Covid forever. It's not going away.

It's not going away, but we'll get better vaccines and it'll be easier to access treatment. Good luck to you!

You are obviously not actually wishing the PP good luck, but are hoping they suffer the consequences of their presumed carelessness. You Covidians are pathetic.

Are you afraid people won't think you're smart if you don't wear your mask?

I'm not saying it was either spring break (way too soon to see that) or taking off masks. But you can't really say "no change".

+1 and I would guess that at home tests are not all being reported. 70+ yr. old parents in DC positive last week for first time.

Knock yourself out. Wear a mask forever. No one cares.

Covid is here to stay.

NP. Sure, let yourself be guided by sensational news reports instead of actual science. You are exhibit A of what PP said.

I tested positive during spring break. I think people are testing at home or not testing at all.

Yep. Went to Canada, NY (upstate), PA, NJ…unmasked the whole time. There were random people masked here and there but otherwise pretty mask free. It was DELIGHTFUL.

Anecdata: DD in NYC went to a party on Sunday. Monday morning, three guests felt sick and got tested; all positive. Other guests got tests and so far seven have tested positive, including DD. She spent last night throwing up. Vaxxed, boosted, and had Covid in March.
