I know. It was weird how many ppl had them on. I expected to see more maskless. I was one of the only ones.

I guess it’s like Linus & his blanket now. Ppl feel secure with it I guess

No, I totally get the other side's argument. We are SO VERY CLOSE to an overwhelming majority of the population getting vaccinated. Why are they relaxing (removing) the rules when it was only 35% (now 50%)? They couldn't wait another few weeks or another month? It makes no sense. "My freedoms!" is all I see and it's illogical in this case.

But go you guys - you're the real heroes for bragging about your bravery on the internet.

Because if NYS went against CDC guidelines a lot more ppl would be hating Cuomo. This is not about our health & all about Cuomo trying to win re-election

Who's bragging? Please show me where I have bragged? You want to wear it, go ahead. I'm happy it makes you feel safe. So bc YOU think another few weeks is appropriate, we should all follow? Oh ok.

Everyone who wanted to get vaccinated is at this point. They have a surplus of of it now. That's the reason the mask mandate was lifted. We have a nation of idiots refusing to get it. That is their choice, you cant force them. But don't penalize me for their dumbness. Time to get on with with life.

No one is bragging. But we’re tired of being penalized bc of the ppl who refuse to get the vaccine. If ppl don’t want to get it, fine, but the ppl who did should be able to move on with their lives

permanently in places don't wat to be!!! I would send the wife shopping but then the bill will be $100 higher and we will have no food.

I'm going to do this at work. Hopefully it will keep away the ones I want kept away from me. There are certain people I do not want to even talk to.

You absolutely get penalized for their "dumbness" because that's how a civilized society works. Poverty? We all pay. Bad health care? We all pay. Dangerous arrogant stupidity? We all pay. Ignorant political choices? We all pay.
