Man, the selfish I've had enough of this so I'm going to do whatever people piss me off. Especially the anti mask ones. Can't seem to get it through their skulls that it is a basic precaution that when taken as a collective society, makes it safer for everyone. Elderly, immunocompromised, healthy. Everyone. That means get back to normal sooner. That means less dead people. We are at 565,xxx dead Americans. And counting. Just found out yesterday that a buddy's dad died from covid last week. Was he old? yeah. He was. But now my friend is suffering, and probably could have looked forward to another 5 10 years with his dad around. Ach of those 500,000 dead people had friends and family that cared about them and are suffering. But hey, it hasn't happened to you yet. So take your mask off because you're tired of it, or you don't believe in it, or whatever stupid reason you have. But at least be honest with yourself. You are selfish. That you lack empathy. That you are an asshole. And the only thing that will change your tune is when your dad dies from covid. And who knows, maybe he'll catch it from your stupid ass.
It was stated before, this thing wasn't deadly enough. If it had a 10% kill rate, it'd be a lot tougher to bury your head in your ass. It's not that hard to wear a mask in public indoor spaces. And get your fucking shots. Oh, and stop watching Fox news. Fuck.

This for sure.
Oh, you know what I mean. Go outside on your deck with your coffee first thing in the morning and take a deep breath. Nice, right? An N95 takes a lot away from that. Not a lot of urine and hay around here Just magnolias and budding maples.

Thanks, that really tied the thread together. You left out his central point, but I wouldn't say you missed it, since it was irrelevant anyway, at least for the rest of Benny's life. The tough question for present society is what constitutes an emergency and how do we know when it's passed?
Questions like whether it's ok to throw stowaways overboard or eat the weakest person in the lifeboat aren't new. And outside of emergency conditions the cost paid by the temporarily-able to protect the more vulnerable is pretty trivial.

I think this is correct. Unfortunately, everyone answers this question differently: for some, there never was sufficient risk from COVID to create an emergency, but for folks at the other end of the spectrum, so long as there is any COVID risk to any person, the emergency remains. Far be it from me to put words in Benny's mouth, but it seems like he is trying to strike a middle ground by saying that once everyone who wants a vaccine can get one, the emergency is over.

I gotta agree here. The pandemic is essentially over when the community agrees as a whole that it is over. That may be true even if the disease is still present within the community.
For me, I'll still wear my mask for the next few months, even though I'm fully immunized. Wearing the mask contributes to the idea that people need to go get their shot(s) so we can stop wearing these things. If my act of wearing the mask makes others think the disease is still present to an extent that they need to get their shot, that's a good thing.
However, if by the end of summer we are still dealing with it and positivity rates are hovering around 1%, I personally will have had enough by then. I would stop wearing my mask around August, unless specifically asked by the premises. At some point, life needs to return to normal, and I'll feel personally that I have done all I should have by then.

Just read this today.

Seems like the problem there was putting a whole bunch of people who never were exposed to certain ailments together in crowded, unsanitary conditions. Which will be an issue in the next decade if many persist in hiding from the world, just like it has been for a decade or two with the recent generations protected from most anything by over mothering. Sorry, gotta get out there and build immunities, It's human nature.

Whole lot of me me me me in the last few pages. From “ive done enough” to “I have my vaccine so I’m doing whatever I want” to “I think people masking in x situation is bad for society”. (The latter being exceptionally strange since what does “bad for society” even mean?)
And then the cherry on top essentially arguing that the immuno-compromised and over-65 crowd should be sacrificed for the greater good.
CDC is still recommending I wear a mask in public when I cannot social distance. I will be done with my vaccine course in May.
State has asked that I reduce my interaction with those not vaccinated, limit indoor activities and wear a mask when appropriate. Simple requests, simple response. Let’s finish this thing off strong.

You are such a child.
Can we talk about the widespread prevalence of buff wearing for fishing and skiing prior to COVID now?
You guys going to flip that trend on its head or is that a Hott Butt Mud and Montucky approved use of a mask?
Please explain how mask wearing is “bad for society” in a post COVID world? I don’t get it.

I agree with that, but the point - at least my point - is that you shouldn't care.
It's akin to being annoyed by people driving the speed limit (which I'll admit to being guilty of as much as the next guy). Yeah, we probably could safely go faster, but we definitely don't have any moral high ground.

So what if people want to be overly cautious?
0 impact on you.
Why are you butthurt about something that has no effect whatsoever on you?
Oh yeah, that basically defines a conservative anymore since you lot have abandoned any traditional conservatives values.

Buffs =/= N95s. They serve a purpose for fishing/skiing. For COVID, they have been proven to be demonstrably WORSE as they aerosolize the virus into even tinier droplets. So great job with the buffs if that's what you're rocking in a store. All you're doing is nothing but virtue signaling if that's what you're doing to comply instead of a proper mask.

Link or it didn't happen. Actually, let me save us both the trouble: no such thing has been proven and there are several studies saying just what you'd expect about buffs: a little protection for the wearer, better for others, reasonably good when multi-layered.
That seems less relevant as time goes on, but this year has shown us how badly our education system is failing and apparently that's going to last.
