I don’t care about you either. I don’t want to be like you. I’d rather have covid

Covid will never go away. Just like all other Coronavirus and influenza. It has nothing to do with people's actions. It is science.
I usually shower after taking a grumpy. However, if it’s a midday relief, then yes, I wash my hands, because I want to.
And we’re still talking about COVID because it was and continues to be overhyped. Major news organizations have admitted to overhyping it. The reality is, it’s highly transmissible, dangerous for some, but not the overwhelming vast majority of folks. The average age of death due to COVID exceeds the average life expectancy. That’s just a fact. It’s deadly for the elderly and infirmed. It sucks for them, but I’m not altering my life because they’re at increased risk. They need to alter their lives to address their risk.
Talking **** to the dude just because he said Walmart was requiring people to wear them (and without offering any opinion)? How do you know he's not on your side?I think that’s just a Walmart thang bro. I’m sure you put that mask on like a good sheep. They were trying to get me put on a mask at the receiving dock at the Walmart I deliver to this morning. I said nah it’s too freaking hot. Just stay 6 feet away from me please
But then again, you clearly don't give a **** about anybody besides yourself, so I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise.
What a brave, badass you are. Totally not a sheep who is just following a different leader.
I share this as a gun owning, proud patriot who loves what our Founding Fathers set out to create.
Though I would change this from wearing a mask to getting the vaccine.

That has been your best response thus far. You have had a tough job and most of the people you protected hate you and what you stood for. They mock you at parties, etc. in their elitist circles. If I were you, I would feel the same towards the left. This was your best offering thus far.

I played along and wore a mask before I was vaccinated, even though I knew the quality of mask to which I had access was absolutely useless in stopping spread of the virus in either direction. Now that I have been vaccinated for months, I refuse to play that charade any longer.
Have you been vaccinated ? Just wanted to see what effect COVID would have on you.
COVID would still be with us no matter what actions people took. It will ALWAYS be with us .. it's endemic. Australia is in week 4 of total shutdown and had their highest case day yet.
OK…so I guess my initial post has gotten lost in a debate on whether masks ‘should’ be implemented or not. I admit I got caught up in it as well. I will leave it be.
All I was trying to figure out is what are some of the reasons people would forgo seeing our beloved Mountaineers play, when we weren’t able to last year, simply because we are mandated to wear masks? Why is that more important to some? Again, and for the last time, I never said I think they should or shouldn’t be mandated. So I don’t know why I am being attacked for simply asking a question. Just wanted to get an idea as to why not wearing a mask is more important than going to the games. That’s it, the end.

Here is the issue I find with masks:
When we opened back up at the end of summer 2020 and into the fall, every state had a mask mandate. I can't speak for your area of Kentucky but in Hampton Roads, Richmond and the areas of Northern VA I was in, virtually everyone wore a mask indoors. Despite this, the number of new cases per day at the end of 2020 and early 2021 was 2 to 3 times that in the winter/spring of 2020 when no one wore masks. How effective were the masks really?
Many like to claim that when we opened back up, people weren't wearing the masks properly, had the wrong mask, and/or not wearing them all the time. Even if that is the case, it is a fact we were wearing masks far more than in the winter/spring of 2020. Accordingly, the number of new daily cases should not have been that much higher than when we didn't wear masks.
I understand the science of masks, but the masks didn't produce any recognizable benefit when looking at the drastic increase of new daily cases after we began wearing them. I have yet to see anyone explain that.
Don’t engage. You got into the medical profession for a reason. You live in a completely different reality than the people you are trying to reason with. I’ve learned that sometimes you just have to smile and move on.
Did you have and disclose to the AD the name of this “authority ‘wonnabe”’? People over stepping their ‘pay grade’ need be identified and removed from any such position. It’s tough enough trying to understand and keep up with the likes of comrade Fouci and all his flips and flops. Do not need add a loud mouth half wit trying to emulate Barney and Gomer.
In the midst of the current Covid spike, i flew to Florida (Covid Central) last week with one of my kids on a college visitation trip.
Our departure airport required us to wear a mask as soon as we walked in. Frontier Airline required us to mask. Our arrival airport in Florida required us to mask. Rental car agency claimed to follow Covid cleaning protocols for the cars. Hotel encouraged masks. The restaurant we ate at did not require masks, although the wait-staff wore them. The first college we visited did not require masks in any of the buildings we toured. The next day, the second college we visited required us to wear a mask everywhere, even in the Dining Hall for our free meal, except while actually eating. The restaurant we ate at that evening did not require masks, although the wait-staff wore them. On the return trip, due to weather, we got stuck an entire day in our departure airport, and had to mask up the whole time. Southwest Airlines required us to wear a mask.
i am fully vaccinated and wore a double-layer cloth mask with a filter insert and nose-fitter. i find the mask to be uncomfortable and inconvenient, but it's not a big deal to me to put it on for a while when around other people.
It's an inconsistent hodge-podge out there regarding the masks. i believe businesses should be free to either require or not-require masks, and post their policy so folks can be free to then either patronize or not-patronize that business.

I got vaccinated so I don't have to wear a mask, and until the metrics show that being vaccinated has no impact on the virus I'll continue to not wear a mask unless required to do so. I agree that it should be up to the individual businesses to require masks or not, but this notion that wearing masks is going to help keep me safe isn't grounded in "science". We're back to wearing masks for those that are un-vaccinated and quite frankly they made their bed and they'll have to sleep in it.
Physicians give advice...they don't and shouldn't do policy. Someone dies of heart disease every 36 seconds in the United States. Almost 3000 a day die of heart disease here. Doctors tell you don't consume so much sugar, don't consume so much alcohol, don't eat so much red meat, don't smoke. Yet people choose to do all of those. If "you cared about others" you'd willingly except public health bans on soda, tobacco, candy etc. All in the name of preventing heart disease.. so the argument would go.
My doctor tells me a lot of things.. I don't listen to many of them. Empathy has little place in our Republic because it was founded on individual freedom with a Constitution intended to LIMIT the power of the Federal Governments intrusion into those individual liberties.
Don’t any of you fuking BL idiots try and drink anything at the game. Keep your mask on 100% at all times, otherwise you are helping to become “super spreaders“.

The world needs more people like you. Nothing is better than people who are so smart they just look down on the pathetic folks who dare think differently than them.
Should have said you already have a respiratory condition and that masks can make it worse and Wal-Mart can be held liable.
Letting them get by with this is why they continue to do it.
Just last month a new record of 200 thou immigrants came across the border. 8% of them were Covid positive that they caught, and they all got on a bus and planes and distributed across this Country
Then we Americans argue amongst ourselves about masksThat is some quality virtue signaling there. I can guarantee you those without the vaccine are perfectly happy with their choice so stop pretending you are doing them a favor by wearing a mask. They never asked you to do anything for them.
It is this holier-than-thou **** about the vaccines and masks that annoys the **** out of everyone and creates these arguments.
Anecdotal but the parents in our neighborhood agreed to let the kids play together masked and outside all through virtual learning. As soon as we all got vaccinated we started to let our guard down and the kids began taking off their masks and going in each other’s houses. 3 of the 12 kids got COVID and 1 vaccinated parent. Masks aren’t full proof but they do help prevent the spread. The little girl that brought into the neighborhood got it from her unvaccinated uncle.
Have you read any of your responses to people that think differently than you? Glass houses my friend. I said simply not to engage and didnt resort to name calling as is the typical exchange on this forum.
When you mask libtards start to make your children wear masks and RSV cases increase, don’t you dare cry. Blame yourself for wanting your child to mask up and wanting them to wear it in schools, in an age group that doesn’t even have to worry about Covid,
Masks do not filter the Covid virus. This has been shown in multiple studies. We have discussed it and shown the data ad naseum on the OT board. Just because you have an anecdote, doesn’t mean that it’s factually or scientifically true.
I see. So your response is it is OK for you to look down on people because you I think I do it. Well by all means then....
But he knows for sure that the little girls unvaccinated uncle gave it to her. Lol what a dumb ***.
I think you interpreted his response incorrectly. I think he’s saying the vaccinated are being forced to mask up (even though medical studies have been done saying it had no measurable impact) because so many people have a cavalier attitude towards COVID, many, rightfully so.
This is an example of the hypocrisy and playing politics by the MSM. They always want to play their " follow the science" game when they want.......but they never show the other "follow the science" flip side.
Even Dr. Fauci has played both sides of that game.
Yes, but some are insisting that even the vaccinated should continue to mask. Total bs.
