 Morphine Prince 109,647 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 And if weâve learned anything itâs that we should always be over precautious. I still wear a mask when in stores or large gatherings. Unless I know youâre vaccinated too I am not going to treat you like you arenât a threat. So basically for me itâs public = higher risk The Delta variant is surging I donât plan on finding out how effective the vaccines are against it with my body. Iâm still living normally just with precautions. Itâs really not that hard and a mask is not a bother to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bodies are planning on the virus to mutate and are staying ready. We could have years or lifetime immunity from what the research is saying. So, if people are gonna lie about their vaccines, they are the only ones who have anything to lose at this point, and it could very well be their health or lives  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkmanthaC 115,027 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 But what if everyone thinks I'm a Trump supporter for not wearing one?  But also, I hope that this extends to schools eventually. I'm so tired of telling kids to pull masks up all day long. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they gonna go maskless and keep mutating the virus and extending the pandemic to 2023? Pretty much  1 major issue i see with this (besides the fact that vaxxed ppl are not necessairily garanteed not to transmit it) is the fact that ppl that didnt get fully vaccinated will just stop wearing it too  Its not like they are gonna go around in mass to double check everyones proof. Ppl who arent vaccinated will get away with just not wearing it either... spread may increase and new variants will keep coming out  Here in Canada just about every Province has decided to keep mask mandates for now indoors. And even tho some ppl dont like them, if its gonna prevent another spike im all for putting up with the inconvinience a little bit longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U need to be repeatedly exposed to new strains as they alter to continue to keep ur immunity on the spectrum. If u spend years without an infection even if u have the antibodies or even just T-cells still in place, if a key mutation happens u may not necessairily be immune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio 5,088 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Masks are there to stop you transmitting it, so there is no need to be wearing one once vaccinated anyway - it's stupid. 4 hours ago, imnotyourbabe10 said: While I still respect and understand the science, I will still be wearing a mask in large gatherings and grocery stores.  Not here for breathing in everyone's air I do get concerned, though, that people will think I'm not vaccinated or something now that the symbol of the mask has changed with these announcements. Also, I wish the US would get on board with wearing masks in general.  Like during cold/flu season -- wouldn't they still help prevent spreading illnesses like that? So do you plan on wearing masks forever and never returning to normality? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, yes. I'd like to keep wearing masks at places like grocery stores, concerts, movie theaters, etc. Of course not outdoors or when seated in a restaurant. I personally did not like what "normal" was before anyway. Don't really think we should return to normal, given all the cracks in the foundation and crumby citizenry this last year or two have exposed (at least in the US).

Chromatography 10,186 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 places of business where i live only require masks if youâre not vaccinated but i see no one wearing masks and i know for sure 100% of the hicks i see where i live are not vaccinated. tbh i think shouldâve kept the mask mandate until the end of the year. in 2 months, mark my words, the delta variant or some other variant is going to run rampant and this hell is only going to be extended because people canât be bothered to wear a piece of cloth over their face.
