Masks (POLL): when will you forego masks?

54. We continue to mask

And we will do so until it is safe. Currently not enough are vaxed, the infection rate is too high, delta, a more contagious variant is spreading, new variants could be developing which could be even worse. I know there are a lot of unvaxed idiots not masked here. Lately most stores I go to seem to have completely dropped the mask policy, I expected that at some point. The majority were still masked until 2-3 days ago.

I just spent the last week visiting my dad for his 7th hospital stay since the same er infected him with covid in January. Masking, temp checks, etc. all still required. Yet there were 50 people in the waiting room when I picked him up the day they infected him. I just read that only 70% of hospital workers are vaxed in my county. Only 53% of adults are fully vaxed and not all with pfizer obviously which offers higher protection but still not 100%, it is somewhere between 79-88% for delta as far as we know. I am very angry that I have to continue to be tortured and suffer because of a bunch of f idiots who are being allowed to walk around maskless now.

This is a terrible time to live through to see such utter stupidity here and the idea that it is ok to give up and stop containing the spread etc. as much as possible and that certain numbers casualties are ok. Covid 19 has destroyed my family's life. I blame that on the US.

I don’t like masking, I have asthma which is worse from lh after covid pneumonia but it is the only way to fully protect myself from possible bt infections and others along with sd.
