I do have the vac but even if I didn't I'd be out. It's enough already...
Funny how so many people can be controlled.
I heard yesterday that Biden might change his mind over people having parties for 4th of July.
WHO are these people that are robots and saying ok even after the vaccine?
The president has zero authority to deem whether people can gather in their homes with family so that is the silliest thing I ever heard from the first time he mentioned it.
Who even listens to that?
Oh I am sure there are many that do. I watched a woman walk down the street today, not a single soul around her, wearing a mask. People believe the virus flies in the air. It is crazy how much people will believe and how they have stopped their lives for over a year.
How is wearing a mask while you walk down the street stopping your life? I live my life but I wear a mask. I walked down the street completely alone today to go to the atm with my mask on. Walked right past multiple big signs reminding people that masks are required. I don't get why it bothers anyone to see people wearing masks.
It makes no sense as who are you protecting?
I've been reading (though not commenting on) this whole thread, and this is what I truly don't understand (and don't mean this as a personal attack either) -- how does this post follow your previous one, which said:
"You are absolutely correct and that is my point all along. If you are worried and want to take the extra pro cautions then you should have ever right to without people coming down on you.
Just like people who want to go not wear a mask and social distance and live as much as they can before should not have people coming down on them either.
It’s time to let everyone make their own decisions."
In one post you're saying "If you are worried and want to take the extra pro cautions then you should have ever right to without people coming down on you." In the very next one, you're questioning someone's decision to wear a mask walking down the street, which they aren't even telling anyone else to do. Not even looking for an answer, just genuinely confused by the contradiction.

Do you wear it while alone in your car as well?
I'm fascinated by that and would love to hear the reasoning of those people.
Fascinated.
Omg yes those people too. I want to know also.
I think in the beginning people were freaked out to touch them, but I do it sometimes if we are getting back out of the car in a minute & sometimes if you are just used to it, you just forget. If you drive by someone, you don't know how long they have had it on or will have it on.
I still see them all the time wearing them alone.
Are you insinuating that someone can pass it along from car to car as you are driving?
No, not at all. I just meant that if you see someone in a car wearing one, unless you are stalking them, you don't know that they do that all the time, or they just forgot & are going to take it off in 2 minutes.

And you're entitled to your opinion. But to express it in the next breath after saying "people should be able to do what they want and not have people coming down on them"? No. Because whether it's your intention or not, that's what you're doing or at least how it comes across. It's fine if you don't agree with it or understand it -- but the whole point you were making is completely contrary to what you're saying here. It doesn't have to make sense to you. No one's telling you to do it. But if you want people to respect your practices, shouldn't you do the same for theirs?

Sure. But if the whole point is you do you, then why does it matter? Why ask someone in a way that would make them defensive if the point is no one should do that to each other? We all have different comfort levels with this, and I think your point was that we should do what makes us comfortable. (Maybe I'm wrong.) But if it is, that goes for ALL of us -- not just the people we agree with or understand. If you don't understand, that's fine -- but to ask in a way that contradicts your earlier point -- do what you want and have no one come down on you for it -- then it just doesn't work.
Ok, I'm done now. Have a good night, everyone.

Haven't you ever ran several errands in a row in quick succession? The other day I was in and out of a couple of stores, one right after the other, my hands full. I kept the mask on. It wasn't worth taking it off for just a few moments.
I had my mom in the car with me before she was fully vaccinated. I dropped her off and drove home. I was at least 10 minutes away before I realized I still had it on so I took it off. But yes, for those ten minutes I had it on before I remembered.
I don't wear it while walking or running locally - I usually just give someone I am passing wide berth - but I work in the city and, yes, I wear the mask walking to and from the subway. I understand that the chances of transmitting anything outside are extremely low but they are not zero and it's the right thing to do right now. It's crowded and I don't know who might be around me. It's also required on public transport (as it should be) and again, it's not always worth it to take it on and off.
It's not about living in fear anymore than wearing a seat belt is living in fear. I'm going about my business as usual - just with a mask most of the time.
It's not that difficult to understand and it's not that fascinating.

Wearing a mask or socially distancing after no one else is ok but why do that alone with NO ONE around. THAT makes NO sense.
Why would you walk down a street or drive in a car alone with a mask on?

Nope take it off as soon as soon as I walk out the door and put it around my wrist or on the passenger seat.

I've been reading (though not commenting on) this whole thread, and this is what I truly don't understand (and don't mean this as a personal attack either) -- how does this post follow your previous one, which said:
"You are absolutely correct and that is my point all along. If you are worried and want to take the extra pro cautions then you should have ever right to without people coming down on you.
Just like people who want to go not wear a mask and social distance and live as much as they can before should not have people coming down on them either.
It’s time to let everyone make their own decisions."
In one post you're saying "If you are worried and want to take the extra pro cautions then you should have ever right to without people coming down on you." In the very next one, you're questioning someone's decision to wear a mask walking down the street, which they aren't even telling anyone else to do. Not even looking for an answer, just genuinely confused by the contradiction.
I am confused why anyone would wear a mask alone while walking down the street or driving in their car. You can do what you want but THIS makes NO sense.
And you're entitled to your opinion. But to express it in the next breath after saying "people should be able to do what they want and not have people coming down on them"? No. Because whether it's your intention or not, that's what you're doing or at least how it comes across. It's fine if you don't agree with it or understand it -- but the whole point you were making is completely contrary to what you're saying here. It doesn't have to make sense to you. No one's telling you to do it. But if you want people to respect your practices, shouldn't you do the same for theirs?
(Edited because I hit enter too soon)
I totally get what you are saying but would love an explanation of why you would wear a mask walking or driving alone.
Haven't you ever ran several errands in a row in quick succession? The other day I was in and out of a couple of stores, one right after the other, my hands full. I kept the mask on. It wasn't worth taking it off for just a few moments.
I had my mom in the car with me before she was fully vaccinated. I dropped her off and drove home. I was at least 10 minutes away before I realized I still had it on so I took it off. But yes, for those ten minutes I had it on before I remembered.
I don't wear it while walking or running locally - I usually just give someone I am passing wide berth - but I work in the city and, yes, I wear the mask walking to and from the subway. I understand that the chances of transmitting anything outside are extremely low but they are not zero and it's the right thing to do right now. It's crowded and I don't know who might be around me. It's also required on public transport (as it should be) and again, it's not always worth it to take it on and off.
It's not about living in fear anymore than wearing a seat belt is living in fear. I'm going about my business as usual - just with a mask most of the time.
It's not that difficult to understand and it's not that fascinating.
Nope take it off as soon as soon as I walk out the door and put it around my wrist or on the passenger seat.
Ok, good for you. If I'm walking 25 feet from one storefront to another I leave it on. You don't. Whatever.

I do have the vac but even if I didn't I'd be out. It's enough already...
Funny how so many people can be controlled.
I heard yesterday that Biden might change his mind over people having parties for 4th of July.
WHO are these people that are robots and saying ok even after the vaccine?
The president has zero authority to deem whether people can gather in their homes with family so that is the silliest thing I ever heard from the first time he mentioned it.
Who even listens to that?
Oh I am sure there are many that do. I watched a woman walk down the street today, not a single soul around her, wearing a mask. People believe the virus flies in the air. It is crazy how much people will believe and how they have stopped their lives for over a year.
How is wearing a mask while you walk down the street stopping your life? I live my life but I wear a mask. I walked down the street completely alone today to go to the atm with my mask on. Walked right past multiple big signs reminding people that masks are required. I don't get why it bothers anyone to see people wearing masks.

Sure. But if the whole point is you do you, then why does it matter? Why ask someone in a way that would make them defensive if the point is no one should do that to each other? We all have different comfort levels with this, and I think your point was that we should do what makes us comfortable. (Maybe I'm wrong.) But if it is, that goes for ALL of us -- not just the people we agree with or understand. If you don't understand, that's fine -- but to ask in a way that contradicts your earlier point -- do what you want and have no one come down on you for it -- then it just doesn't work.
Ok, I'm done now. Have a good night, everyone.
Wearing a mask or socially distancing after no one else is ok but why do that alone with NO ONE around. THAT makes NO sense.
Why would you walk down a street or drive in a car alone with a mask on?
Again — I do understand your confusion. My point is no one owes you (or anyone) an explanation for why they feel comfortable doing things that literally affect no one else. No one ever understands other people’s behavior for any number of reasons. But you can’t say people should be able to do what they want without having others question it if you’re going to continue to question it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. They are entitled to do what they want without having to explain just like you are. That’s my whole point.
Now I’m really done. Bed time.

So people can be brainwashed to walk around with a mask when no one is around and that is ok? I was talking about being around people and being cautious but that must sound like the same to you.

Oh really. Brainwashing? Forget it. If someone doesn’t agree with you or you don’t understand their behavior, it doesn’t mean they’re brainwashed. It just means they don’t believe what you do. I don’t agree with you. But I’m not saying you’re brainwashed because of it (even if I might very much feel that way now.)
Only thing we agree on is apparently Schitts Creek. I’m absolutely done with the rest of this conversation. That was a disgusting response and really just shows me you’re not conversing in good faith. Night.

Re: Resuming “normal” life
Not going to quote because it’s a lot
Just wanted to add to the mask wearing while alone thing
I 99% of the time rip my mask of like it’s a bra the second I am almost at my car. I won’t right in front of store if there are people around, so I will wait until I’m clear of strangers to do it. There have been times I’m rushing around and realize a few blocks into driving that I still have my mask on. So it’s possible people have seen me and been like wtf is she doing.
I also will leave it on if I’m in a strip mall going from one store to another - again, because there are usually people around. If there is nobody there at all, I’ll take it off while walking to the other stores. But I also wear a mask buddy. So it hangs from my neck so I’m not looking for a place to put my mask when I take it off. It’s just always on me like a necklace. So maybe that’s why it’s easier for me to just take it down and put it back on.

Resuming “normal” life
Who cares why people wear masks when no one else is around. It doesn't mean they are brainwashed. The same can be said for those who are so anti-mask, it's ridiculous. These conspiracy theories of the government trying to control you. (Think they could do a little better than mask mandate). If you are walking down the street you never know who/if you might run into someone. There is an elderly couple that walks around my neighborhood both wearing masks. Often times there is never anyone around but you just never know when you might run into another neighbor also walking. I assume, it's either just become habit for them or they are using it as a form of protection if they do run into someone else. Dh and I have both been known to forget to take our masks off in the car. I personally don't take my mask off until I'm in my car so I can put it in a spot where I won't forget it for next time. Even in a busy parking lot when you don't see someone around and then all of a sudden someone pops up walking between 2 cars. It's more hassle to have to walk further away than just keep the mask on until I'm at my car. No one owes you any explanation as to why they do things.

Re: Resuming “normal” life
Follow the science....
can you catch covid outside
Some highlights:
"Walking past someone in the street or having a jogger run by you, means you're close together for a few seconds at most.
Fleeting encounters are highly unlikely to be long enough for enough virus to reach you.
Prof Cath Noakes, an airborne infection expert from the University of Leeds, says someone would have to cough right at you, at the moment you're inhaling, for an infection to happen.
One study found that two men in China talking face-to-face for at least 15 minutes was enough to spread the virus."
You'd have to be walking slower than a snail to be in contact with an unmasked person for 15 minutes while passing each other on the street.

Resuming “normal” life
Holy Mary, mother of God. NOBODY is mandated to wear a mask in their car or when walking alone. So if someone else chooses to do it, WHY DO YOU CARE?!? You aren't being forced to do it, it's not mandated.
When I leave a store I leave it on until I get to my car, and I'm sorry that you, windy, have no life whatsoever and sit there and ponder why I am wearing my mask until I get to my car. Don't you have anything better to worry about it in your life?
I always have my mask with me but I don't always wear it. If I'm alone or walking with my DH in an uncrowded environment, I just have it on my wrist. If we approach an area that's crowded, i put it on. Not because I think I will get covid but because I don't want to make anyone else feel uncomfortable. If wearing a piece of cloth over my nose and mouth for the 1 minute I need to while walking past the person, so be it. There's no weird reason behind it that needs to be researched to the death by someone with nothing better to do. You don't have to, so stop worrying about it.
Funny how nobody is allowed to question you when you say you don't believe in the vaccine or social distancing because "that's my right and it's nobody's business" but you spend an awful lot of time worrying about what everyone else is doing.
You throw around brainwashed an awful lot, but you seem to be one of the only people on here who comes across as brainwashed, with an irrational fear of government control. News flash: the government isn't going to use wearing masks while alone as a form of government control. Look at North Korea. THAT is government control. Helping slow the spread of a virus that has killed 600,000 Americans and permanently changed the lives of millions of people is not control...its human decency. Things are getting better so things are easing and reopening. Government control would be if we were still in March/April 2020 style lockdown.

She thinks she's hot $hit because she's avoided COVID thus far despite her utter disregard for safety restrictions and anyone else other than herself. I guess she believes she's better then everyone else even though who gets and who doesn't get COVID is nothing more than a crap shoot. Furthermore, she's utterly obsessed with what everyone else does and why because it's evident from the amount of rapid fire posting that she does that she has nothing better to do with her time. Her level of ignorance about this virus and the vaccine is literally jaw dropping, it's not even worth engaging with her.

Resuming “normal” life
I feel we have been living life pretty normally since this started. I wear a mask where I am suppose to but have also been out and about as much as possible.
As much as masks help to reduce the spread. I'm sure all of you can see the short comings of this so called protection. How many have seen people fix their mask by pinching the very spot where they exhale then using that same hand to touch everything around them. Do people really change or wash their mask regularly? Again I know their are some of you that avoid these places but coffee shops. I can't tell you how many times they move the cup by grabbing it with their hand over the top where you are drinking. Money exchange I'm handing it to the cashier she puts it in the drawer then hands back to the next person. Shopping, how many people touch the product before you do?
I don't want to start a debate. I fully believe in each their own. But we don't live in a sterile bubble. The disease is scary, the vaccine is scary and I wish the news was unbiased.

Even in a busy parking lot when you don't see someone around and then all of a sudden someone pops up walking between 2 cars. It's more hassle to have to walk further away than just keep the mask on until I'm at my car. No one owes you any explanation as to why they do things.
Many older people get incorrect information that passes along from person to person.
My mother tried to tell me once (from a friend whose has gotten info wrong many times) that it was mandatory where she lives that you can not walk in a parking lot without a mask on even if you were the only one there. I told her that if there are people around they suggest you wear it but if you are the only one around you don’t need it until you walk in the store that requires it.
I don’t care what you do but the amount of people who have no common sense is astounding and this pandemic has really shown how people will do anything without really thinking.

Re: Resuming “normal” life

Holy Mary, mother of God. NOBODY is mandated to wear a mask in their car or when walking alone. So if someone else chooses to do it, WHY DO YOU CARE?!? You aren't being forced to do it, it's not mandated.
When I leave a store I leave it on until I get to my car, and I'm sorry that you, windy, have no life whatsoever and sit there and ponder why I am wearing my mask until I get to my car. Don't you have anything better to worry about it in your life?
I always have my mask with me but I don't always wear it. If I'm alone or walking with my DH in an uncrowded environment, I just have it on my wrist. If we approach an area that's crowded, i put it on. Not because I think I will get covid but because I don't want to make anyone else feel uncomfortable. If wearing a piece of cloth over my nose and mouth for the 1 minute I need to while walking past the person, so be it. There's no weird reason behind it that needs to be researched to the death by someone with nothing better to do. You don't have to, so stop worrying about it.
Funny how nobody is allowed to question you when you say you don't believe in the vaccine or social distancing because "that's my right and it's nobody's business" but you spend an awful lot of time worrying about what everyone else is doing.
You throw around brainwashed an awful lot, but you seem to be one of the only people on here who comes across as brainwashed, with an irrational fear of government control. News flash: the government isn't going to use wearing masks while alone as a form of government control. Look at North Korea. THAT is government control. Helping slow the spread of a virus that has killed 600,000 Americans and permanently changed the lives of millions of people is not control...its human decency. Things are getting better so things are easing and reopening. Government control would be if we were still in March/April 2020 style lockdown.
You have missed the entire point of this discussion obviously.

Re: Resuming “normal” life

I feel we have been living life pretty normally since this started. I wear a mask where I am suppose to but have also been out and about as much as possible.
As much as masks help to reduce the spread. I'm sure all of you can see the short comings of this so called protection. How many have seen people fix their mask by pinching the very spot where they exhale then using that same hand to touch everything around them. Do people really change or wash their mask regularly? Again I know their are some of you that avoid these places but coffee shops. I can't tell you how many times they move the cup by grabbing it with their hand over the top where you are drinking. Money exchange I'm handing it to the cashier she puts it in the drawer then hands back to the next person. Shopping, how many people touch the product before you do?
I don't want to start a debate. I fully believe in each their own. But we don't live in a sterile bubble. The disease is scary, the vaccine is scary and I wish the news was unbiased.

So please, oh wise one, tell me what the point of this discussion was? That everything covid related is an attempt at government brainwashing and everyone who cares about covid is misinformed?
You really lack brainwaves and all human decency.

How do you even have time to post on here so much with 5 kids? I’m impressed.
