Actually, I was asked by my HR department to plan to show up at the office in September
I get to work from home only two days a week. I don’t even know if my office clothes from two years ago fit!

Well maybe not anymore. But the city still has vaccine mandates in place so to me it is.

Also it’s the only city left in the country where I still see a significant number of people with masks on when they’re outside and walking alone. I don’t see that nearly as much in DC, Boston, SF…..

Someone I played tennis outdoors with yesterday, about 25 miles from NYC, was wearing a mask under his chin. I pointed out that the mask doesn't do much good there. He promptly put it in position. It was ripped, and I pointed that out. He finally took it off, putting a new one on later.

It's gone beyond public-health theater and virtue-signalling to the point where it's self-parody.

To some people, wearing masks is criminal or offensive. It is NEITHER.

Stop being the anti-mask police, It is not your business if someone wants to cover the bottom half of his face.

Sometimes people wear masks if they have chapped lips or no lipstick

I'd like to, but it becomes my business when they are admonishing me for NOT wearing a mask.

I've been trying to mind my business all these years, but the mask-mandaters are always giving me dirty looks and making obscene comments towards me for expressing the freedom to NOT mask.

I imagine that many others who are commenting have had the same experiences and share a similar sentiment.

My my my how the tables have turned. Didn't see you saying anything when mask enforcers were yelling at people to PUT MASKS ON.

Exactly. I wouldn’t care nearly as much if the mask obsessed group hadn’t for two years glared at me, walked out into oncoming traffic to avoid me, and made under the breathe comments about “not caring about lives” when I didn’t feel like wearing a mask OUTSIDE. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was actually one of the first people I know to go out and buy a mask - it’s not the mask itself but the ridiculous cult following around it that I have a problem with.
