Nevermind about long covid. Nevermind that even mild cases of covid cause elevated heart risk issues in 3% above what's normal of the population post infection. Nevermind about this B2 variant that spreads more quickly and is more dangerous that B1 Omicron and is causing concern in other countries. If you're not okay with getting or spreading a little bit of covid at this point, your only goal must be zero covid or lowest covid possible and any sacrifices to get there must be worth it.

Right.
Covid spread is quite low here right now. If you aren't unwilling to unmask now, you're never going to be willing to unmask. One reasonable course of action is to unmask when cases are low and re-evaluate as you go along. If the B2 variant is coming for us, well I'll be glad I got a masking break and I'll put my mask back on.
The snark about it only being about lipstick and smiles is lame. If you can't see why humans don't want to wear masks all the time, then you don't see it. And if you can't see why it might not be great for kids to grow up for years on end wearing masks, then you don't see it.
I would be willing to unmask right now if I didn’t have a super expensive international trip coming up for spring break. Not willing to have the whole family go down over the next four weeks when we’ve made it this far. You have no idea why people are still masking. i know my reason is purely selfish and privileged.
Guess you haven't seen the research that masks don't work (except when perfectly put on a mannequin in a labratory - they don't in real life setting with real life humans).
Well we mask regularly inside, frequent stores, gym, and kids play on mix of indoor or outdoor sports. Never had Covid. So we’re sticking with what’s been working until spring break.
You've probably already had Covid and didn't know it. (More than 1/3 of Virginians have already had it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/02/28/covid-cases-nationwide/)
The 58 percent figure for kids 5-11 surprised me. Eye opening. Not sure what they’re being protected from anymore.
Even if you have had it once, you still want to minimize the number of times you get it. Every time you get it it breaks your defenses down more in ways that you may not really see. I visualize this as russian roulette -- each time you get covid you pull the trigger again without spinning the cartridge, so the more times you get it the worse your odds are and at some point you will hit on a bad result.
That's not the way your immune system works for most viruses. We don't know anything for sure yet on this one, but generally the more your immune system sees a certain virus the easier it is to dispatch. Prior immunity (from infection or vaccination) is the main reason we didn't see more hospitalizations for omicron despite a huge number of infections.

Yes, your children need to see faces and my children need to see their faces. Time to get back to normal. I don't look at other humans as viral vectors.
It's over. Give it up.

I know that’s what you would like to think, but we are all testing weekly due to various reasons related to school, work, etc.
Who is “we are all”? I’m not doing that and no one I know is doing that.
