USA is still reporting an average of 40k+ cases a day and increasing. 500 deaths a day on average. All this even after boosters being available for 6 months. USA is also approaching 1 million Covid deaths, that is 1/330 Americans died of Covid in the last 2.2 years.

Unfortunately, masks were just a political statement in America. Covid's new variants are rapidly spreading. Sure we are vaccinated now, but Covid is NOT your every year Flu that you want to catch it anyway. If given to your loved ones, they can die of it.

From "Masks save lives" to "500 deaths a day is fine coz Biden said no more masks on TV".

Coming under social pressure where people use to give me looks for wearing a mask, I gave in and started going maskless. Unfortunately, I caught Covid in my second week of going maskless. It was mild for me coz I guess I had the booster, but even mild one meant I had body ache, fever, headache and fatigue.

So please, please let people who want to wear a mask wear them. Don't create a stupid social pressure of not wearing masks, especially in crowded areas.

    Who isn't letting you wear a mask? Are you from Florida or something?

      OP - i completely support wearing a mask. I myself wear a mask everywhere i go. With that said - i also am prepared to entertain a variety of reactions around me. If tomorrow i decided to wear neon pants.....i once again will be prepared to handle reactions. You want people to transcend their normal demeanor and go beyond normal to be nice to you? You gonna have a bad time mask or no mask.

      They'll definitely make fun of you if you tried to wear a mask in Florida.
      I haven't see anyone with a mask here for months already.

      @PoorDSM bro what? OP is simply saying to not harass people for wearing masks if they choose to. Don't call people stupid for protecting themselves. Or do you call people who wear elbowpads on a bike names too, like a 5 year old?

      What harassment? Here’s the OP’s quote:
      “ People's subconscious reaction to masked people vs unmasked indirectly forces you into not wearing one in the hope of giving out better vibes.”
      It’s all ludicrous. I wear a mask myself to protect my unvaccinated newborn. I haven’t faced any harassment, and I doubt if my experience is unique. And yea, I do lose out on something (the ability to connect with people), but that’s a choice I am making, and I won’t expect the world to bend to my will/preference.

    People knew this 1 month into Covid, but the fact checkers censored them

      Exactly. Now they’re trying to blame inflation on Putin after spending trillions of dollars. Just say we needed to spend the money to keep the economy alive. So little accountability it’s sad

    • Who went to a Michelin star restaurant indoor with 10+ unmasked guests? Who said to stay home during thanksgiving but went to a thanksgiving party? Who cancel outdoor dining but went outdoor dining the very same day? Who went dancing maskless in a club?

      Try to guess when and who?
      That’s right. 2020. Peak of the pandemic before vaccine. Democrats mayors, governors or senators who have been imposing rules on others but of course it doesn’t apply to them because you know… SCIENCE

    • @PlmrSenpai how hard is it putting a mask? Lmao. Jeez it’s not that complicated to me, unlike other people who feels so forced to wear the . Again, I’m not forcing people to wear them, I as well am tired of hearing Covid as I miss traveling international without having to do so many bs to fly out. My point is my choice is to wear a mask, don’t force me not to wear em like I’m not forcing you.
