So the vaccine is not an immunization, meaning you can still catch COVID after being vaccinated but you shouldn’t wind up the hospital or die from it because your body will be better able to fight off the virus for however long the shots last. We will never achieve a herd immunity since nobody is immune by virtue of vaccination. Where I live, pretty much any 50 and older and anyone at high risk of exposure due to their occupation or who has a potential comorbidity can get a vaccine, which based on everything we’ve been told covers the entire high risk population. Given all, that there is no apparent scientific reason for masks, distancing or closures at this point.

I don't think we will ever get past the arguments/justification/opinions on whether "we" should wear a mask or get the vaccine or not. Crap is old.

Still hearing it at public places on a regular basis, I mean like every day several times someone is commenting about someone else wearing a mask in their car driving in the lot, or whining that someone doesn't have one on in the store. Lol, mind your own freaking business people. Do you.

Couldn’t care less if other people want to mask up forever and I’m fully hoping to use COVID conditioning as justification to decline handshakes, something I already did but occasionally felt forced into acquiescence on. All I know is that when I leave my office building in the evening and pull that mask down, the full fresh breaths I take in make me feel good, which tells me I am probably doing some sort damage breathing through the mask. Also, I want to go to concerts with other consenting people who are willing to risk it.

I agree on the hand shaking and hugging too. I've always been a handshaker but there have always been times I just didn't want to shake someone's hand or hug a "hugger" but did anyway. I don't anymore.

The mask thing.....I walked around farmers market yesterday with my mask and forgot I had it on. When I realized halfway to the truck and took it off, it was really nice to breath fresh air, but I didn't feel I was damaging anything while wearing it.

I think about people in the medical field, painters, construction etc all those people have been wearing some sort of mask at their jobs for years.

Idk, it's just part of life now and it's not the only inconvenience I have to deal with.

The downside for me and the mask is I miss seeing people's facial expressions. I'm a handshake guy, too and miss doing that when I greet people. I can tell a lot about someone via the handshake.

Anywho, insert Rick Springfield...

I'm being a smart butt, but also serious. You think you could tell what gender someone Really is or what they claim to be? I used to be able to tell what someone was like by shaking their hand, but not really anymore. And honestly, I was wrong sometimes and right or wrong, what good did it do me?

I have long fingers. Not circus freak long, but long. Too many people go for the squeeze before proper palm contact is achieved. I hate having someone wrenching my fingers together. If you’re gonna shake someone’s hand, make sure you’ve actually got their hand in your hand. How damn hard is that? That, plus the bastards who don’t wash their hands after using the restroom, is enough to put me off handshakes.

I just don't think they do anything personally except give us the warm fuzzies. But obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I'm not going to argue with people about it. My wife wore hers religiously all year and still caught COVID

That the way you felt about condoms?

Seriously tho, how do you know she got the virus while wearing a mask? I'm a firm believer they probably don't help as much as many think, but they help more than just give me the warm fuzzies.

But I still don't wear one as much as I think I should. Today I was in Walmart of all places, without one.

Because we have narrowed down to her work as where she most likely got it from considering how locked down at home we were. about 95% certain. And where she works they were wearing masks all day and strictly enforced

Aside from personal experiences with Covid, do we think that physicians and others around an operating table might as well quit wearing masks?

Obviously. Lulz.

I really don't care and I'm not sure how much they're preventing. I walk around and look at some people and remember seeing the same type back before the Covid, and I'm thankful they have on a mask.

I do like to mess with people, like you right now, that think their isolated personal situation is enough evidence to claim masks aren't effective.

There was an article in Restaurant News magazine 15 or so years ago that listed all the germs/bacteria found during a study of restaurant restroom entrance/exit door knobs/handles. Was a long list and number 1 was about 90% +/- feces.

Everything we touch is nasty. Wear a mask all day but put take a drink of that bottle of water. No telling what it has on it and you remove your mask to take a drink. You have to eat, were the hands clean of the person that prepared it? Did you eat it with your mask on? Did you wash your hands after you paid for it? You always do, but did you forget 1 time?

I don't know, I'm not getting the vaccine and I don't wear a mask as much as I probably should because Im not that worried about, but it has nothing to do with me thinking they aren't effective.

So you think masks are effective, just not all masks? You think if your wife had been wearing an N95 she still would have gotten Covid?

Did she get it while I was on a break? I don't remember reading about that. Is she okay now? Any left over effects?

I read some study years ago that the dirtiest thing in a restaurant was the menus and condiment/salt/pepper shakers. LOL
