Same in all of Northern VA.

I am seriously confused about why masks are required in montgomery county. Do you guys realize it's 99.999% theater?

WTF are you talking about. The rate of spread in our area is still considered "substantial".

I am so sick of you stupid people.

DP, but you know that the available data on the efficacy of cloth masks-- the things you see most people wearing-- isn't very good, right? Theatre might be an overstatement, but not by much.

No, it's not.

Arguably it isn't any LESS under control in at least some places that don't have a mask mandate. But it isn't under control there, and it isn't under control here, either. We're just at the point where getting vaccinated and hoping for the best is the least bad realistic option (and certainly much better than not getting vaccinated and hoping for the best...).

Jim Crow laws, the Vietnam war, having to wear a mask to the grocery store...

No. Having the government make decisions on my health or that of my children that quite literally changes every week is not a precedent we should allow to be set. Much like the other unacceptable issues you raised. Much larger issue at stake. It’s unfortunate that the mask forever crowd does not understand that.
Regulate obesity. Ban all cigarettes. Force people to exercise.

You mean, like laws about drinking water, food safety, pharmaceuticals, motor vehicle safety, air quality, etc.? That precedent was set a long time ago.

Ok - then Regulate obesity. Demand exercise. Eliminate obesity and Covid would not mean hospitalization and death for thousands of people.

You think it's an intolerable infringement on your personal liberty to have to wear a mask when you're at the grocery store, but you want the government to "regulate obesity" and "demand exercise"?

You miss the point. If you want to regulate behavior for health reasons (masks) why not regulate the conditions that lead to obesity? Such much energy on masks in Covid yet zero on preventing serious illness from it - overweight and beyond. Masks are easy. Exercise is not. The saddest party of this is that according to the CDC - kids who are obese are getting hit with Covid the worse as a demographic. That should not be in this country.

Look, if you don't want to be responsible and wear a mask, don't. Stop ranting about other topics when its about masking to keep covid numbers down. You may be ok with getting covid, but others of us are not. We are only as safe as the least safe person in our community, which is probably you. It really sucks for those of us with health issues we cannot control that we have to stay home because people like you simply don't care until you get health issues or another reason that puts you at high risk.

We could have had this under control with behavior and people are showing their true colors. Likewise the government and CDC failed us by saying all we needed to do was get vaccinated and you did your part. They are also setting a bad example when they aren't masking in public and forget to tell people its safer for them not to mask as they get tested regularly and anyone who comes in contact with them gets tested.

Kids are getting hit with covid regardless of obesity. They are in person school, parents aren't doing any distancing or masking outside of school and they don't understand it as they go by what their parents say and their parents just don't care if they or others get sick. Our 0-5 aren't vaccinated and cannot be. We still have an obligation to protect them.

That's the thing. We couldn't have had this under control. There's no place on earth that has had this under control. Stop thinking this can be controlled or eliminated.

The only mitigation that has been remotely effective, or has not had too high of a cost, has been vaccinations. Our county has crushed that. that's really the ONLY effective mitigation we can do

But it IS under control in so many places that do not require a mask mandate.

Apparently we have too many stupids here in MAoCo, like the pp who was complaining about virginians wearing masks in Walgreens and not at a winery.

If people in MoCo could get common sense down, then we wouldn't have to have mask mandate and rates would stay down, much like NoVa.

NP. Regulating can mean things as simple as charging higher health premiums when people are sedentary and eat poorly. The soda tax is also actually a good thing. You're free to be fat, guzzle Coke, and be car dependent, and do nothing about it, but enjoy paying twice the premiums as everyone else. And enjoy paying 3x the premiums when you refuse to be vaccinated for COVID. Get rid of all the mandates. People can do whatever they want but I'm tired of paying for other people's poor health choices.

I am completely over masks. I am also triple vaccinated. The second that mask mandate was rescinded I took my mask off. I am not a Republican, or trump supporter (I feel like I always have to make this disclaimer because of the loonies to equate no masks trumpster), but I am over this circus. But if I’m being totally honest with you, I will begrudgingly wear my mask because I don’t want to be confused with a Trump supporter.

Your rights don’t trump others. You are no better than a trumper. If anything worse as you know better.

What are you ranting about because I literally said I’ve been following the mandates.
