COVID-19 - On the Ground

[CrimsonNBlue]

I hate it when dumbasses think about my well-being.

She’s vaccinated. I’m vaccinated. Everyone around us is vaccinated. What is the point of wearing the mask other than virtue signaling?

Who cares? How in the world does that get your panties all up in a bunch?

It's her choice and, as for the rest of us, it is a hell of a lot better than the opposite which is the vast amount of people that come to work or go in crowded public places with the flu.

Well, because the vaccine doesn't work very well against the new variants apparently.

The meltdown is going to be REAL when the mask mandates come back all because of DELTA spreading due to people not getting vaccinated.

I am sure you are right.

There are about 20 states who likely won't bring back mask mandates, but i expect many businesses will bring them back for employees and customers (as they should if that's what they want to do).

I cared about your well being when i got the damn shot. Why do we also need to wear masks in perpetuity (barring active sickness, be it a cold. The flu, whatever...sure wear your mask then).

No one said she had to wear a mask.

Its become like a weird badge of honor now tho. Well I still wear my mask because i care so much about everyone. I get it, do whatever you want, makes no difference to me...but dont shame people if they dont wear a mask, particularly if theyre vaccinated.
Thats my only point.

Yes it is.

The only shaming that occurred in this line of conversation was by gutter and psych against two people that chose to wear a mask.

If you say so.

[MICHHAWK]

I boycott any business that requires the mask.

To be fair, I wasn’t shaming her for wearing the mask. I was shaming her for the blatant virtue signaling in church.

They don't want you

blatant virtue signaling in church.

For most, that's just church.

A woman at Quik Trip this morning (where no masks are required) was wearing a mask, but below her nose.

I'm really not trying to be an asshole, but...I think I can probably guess a lot of things about her.

When it stands out in church, you know it’s egregious.

So many have not been vaccinated by choice but can catch it from vaccinated folks. Still, maybe it is a learning moment.

The people I know who have had it bad say it is lesson they will never forget.

Did you know it can cause ED? No idea how long it lasts or if it is permanent.

Upon reading that Annie said, "you WILL keep wearing your mask." I had already decided the same but it is good to know she worries about me, or something she associates with me.

Someone close to me was...not a Covid-denier, necessarily, but definitely the "the media is making it seem worse than it is" type.

Eight months after having Covid, he still can't really taste or smell.

Serves his ass right.

Did this person make a comment to someone else about not wearing a mask or do anything to draw a attention to their own wearing of a mask (besides having it on)? Did she announce that she wasn't ill or didn't have a medical condition that made her anxious about still getting covid and was doing it just to look more responsible than others? Probably not.

Which means that you are projecting your own feelings about her onto her. You have zero clue why she is wearing a mask. People get summer colds; two people in our house have already had them since mask mandates were eliminated here. People have lung issues or kids at home who are vulnerable. You have no idea why she is wearing a mask but you went ahead and assumed the worst.

"I get it, do whatever you want, makes no difference to me...but...." You should have just stopped after "makes no difference to me."
