Great News! Another state dumping the masks

[SixFoot]

Fantastic news. This charade needs to end.

That is not true at all.

Sure it is. People now can walk in without a mask and say “it’s not mandated!” leaving it mostly to the front line workers to enforce store policy.

As opposed to what with a mandate?

[WuWei]

I disagree with your daughter.

I disagree with your daughter.

Do you understand why we wear masks?

[Ben_Natuf]

yes, it has been about 4 months since the last spike, time for another. we’re peaking in vaccinating at the right time. should be a fairly low peak, and then we’re done for a while.

I understand why I’ve been wearing one since before Fauci stopped lying.

Do you understand other customers are not there to protect you?

If someone is doing something you feel puts you at risk, get away from them.

If it is an employee of the store, that’s different and I’ve done it myself, politely. Never had an issue.

It is not your purview to correct other customers. If you choose to, expect a “mind ya bizness” response.

In fact, you have no business addressing them at all. Just get away from them.

Putting aside the immaturity of your answer (which in and of itself speaks to my larger point about hthe politicization of this topic), my point really was that the woman felt compelled to say 'she knew who I voted for." Again, speaking to the politicization.

Definitely not too early. The mask mandate was put in place to prevent hospitalizations. How is that stat looking? If non vaccinated people get Covid and miss two weeks of work, that’s their problem. So I am taking a victory lap!

I didn’t get vaccinated in order not to get COVID. I got vaccinated in order to not die from or be hospitalized by COVID.
In selling the vaccine, we are told that all the vaccines are 100% effective in avoiding death or hospitalization.
I will wear a mask only in stores that require it.

There is nothing immature about my reply, in fact quite the contrary.

Yes, the comment about voting was off topic and mean. Obviously lashing out. People do that when strangers get all up in they bizness.

Now the 64 million dollar question: Was she wrong?

If you don’t know me, don’t address me. There are enough authoritarians floating around without you volunteering.

Masks are like trying to catch a fly with a fishing net. It was just more fake news …

@DMK

There are always going to be the exceptions to it. I’ve had a few people walk into my business without a mask and become indignant when we tell them it is required.

Yeah, and that’s the problem I have with this - some poor kid or minimum wage clerk is gonna have to be the ne to enforce the store policy at restaurants and stores and get screamed and spit at by people screaming about how ‘there is no mandate.’

If, as is the case here, the state is advising it, they should take the pressure off the front line workers and make it a mandate.

IN numbers look good, but why not wait till vaccination levels are higher? Increase capacities, etc…but if the state advises the mask, just mandate it for a few more months.

Just as before the mandate, if the store has a mask policy and someone refuses to leave, the store can call the police and have them removed or arrested for trespassing.
Nothing has changed.

[WuWei]

The perception seems to be that Karens are a one-sided deal. Is that true?

[WuWei]

Exactly right.

Would you be offended if your neighbor asked you to respect the store policy and state mandate because you were putting their health at risk?

Not speaking openly to a fellow american about their actions, and rather running away, if very immature.

My neighbor wouldn’t get all up in my bizness. He’d move away to protect himself. And he knows my middle name.

What gives you the right to judge? Are you a Karen?

Then your neighbor is immature and somewhat cowardly.

There is a mask mandate in my state. The store we were in has signs posted. We had every right to not only be there, but to expect everyone would be following the safety guidelines mandated by the state and reinforced by the store.

To not speak up about that is immature.

it is possible they just spaced out about their masks and would be pleased to get a reminder.

Your fear of speaking openly and honestly to your fellow americans about issues of health and safety is out of character and evidence of the politicized nature of this topic.

I don’t believe, for example, that you would have trouble asking someone not to spit on the floor of a store.

Pretty Karen thing to say hiding behind the internet. How do you characterize judging strangers based on a face diaper?

And you have appointed yourself the Face Diaper Police? Vigilante Karen?

@tnt

To not speak up about that is immature.

To virtue signal is divine?

It’s possible it’s none of your bizness.

Fear? I’m not the one demanding behavior for my health and safety.

@tnt

Did that woman try to spit in your mouth? If she did, get away from her.

You want to impose your fears on your neighbors, very Karen. Tsk, tsk.

Worry about your own Face Diaper.

Why aren’t Jbiden Inc wearing masks when they talk into a microphone?

[tnt]

See, as I suspected, you don’t really understand why we wear masks.

Here is another example - was walking my dog. First we were on empty streets, then we headed down town to see what was what. Found ourselves on the sidewalk with some people.

While we were on the empty residential streets I took my mask and put in in my pocket and completely spaced about it.

As we were on the sidewalk, a pedestrian - fellow dog walker actually, nodded at me and said ‘you should have a mask on down town’, which is 100% correct. I thanked them for remnindg me where we were, and I put my mask on.

It was all very calm, and mature, and no one’s feelings were hurt, and they didn’t have to cross the street to avoid me. We have a mask mandate in the state and in our town, and I spaced out. Someone mentioned it to me, and life went on.

It’s odd that you are afraid of such simple human interactions with your fellow americans.

[WuWei]

As I suspected, you are a Kompliance Karen. Probably HOA president too.
