Raise your hand if you warned your DU brethren that the CDC mask guidance in May was
Bunk and to remain masked.
I must have written ten op’s on it myself. Stating how pissed I was with their new guidance. Got a lot of pushback on it too from many. So, I am raising my hand.
I used common sense. It made zero sense to allow anti vaxer and maskholes to roam around free unmasked because of some imagined and ludicrous idea they would be honorable and wear a mask.

Yeh, that went over big 😐
✌🏻
I noticed that one too.
Said he’s never going back to masks and we have to “learn to live with it.” 
Weren’t we told that we were going against science when we did 
Phooey!
... and get your will written and notarized.
That is all.
And I was chastised by some for being too cautious.
With two grandchildren under the age of 12, I'm not going to cut a single corner, or take a single chance.
My choice, and I dont care what anyone thinks or says. 😁
Even wrote an op about how easy it was to purchase N-95 masks recently hoping it would help some people
who were unaware how easily they could be had. I can honestly raise my hand. If you don't have N-95
masks.....just internet search.....N-95/N95 masks for sale locally......worked for me.
Yet rescinded it at the beginning of this month - changed to requiring masks in all businesses only for the unvaccinated. But we've seen how the "honor system" works, especially among the unvaccinated, and this was just in time for the Delta variant surge and tourist season, visitors from all over the country in my neck-of-the-woods. Last year, nothing was open and anyone from out-of-state was required to quarantine. In the past couple of weeks, I've seen license plates from as far away as Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama and Utah. Meanwhile, my county is only at 65% vaccinated and has highest number positive tests in the state. I dread to imagine what the future holds for New York. 
and was told the CDC knows more than me. The fact that many at the CDC publicly disagreed with the May guidance didn't matter.
Oh well. I still get plenty of snide comments about being a sheep. Baaaaaaaa 
for the rest of my life as far as I know right now. The CDC's decision was grossly premature and I said it at the time.
Once or twice . . .
I miss them.
I was too busy trying to score TP.
And I was attacked etc.
We never stopped masking and I stated on here at the time the decision was a big mistake. The damage is done. It is time to mandate masks again and vaccines. Maybe some of the damage can be mitigated. And we now know people with bt can spread delta as well. People whose cases are not being reported, or even recorded most likely, with milder symptoms or who are asymptomatic are spreading it as we speak.
I'm baffled at the thought process here. 
I never stopped wearing masks
to quit wearing masks, which they did not want to do in the first place...
I never stopped wearing mine in public places, even though I am fully vaccinated.
Even if things ever get "back to normal", which seems very doubtful for the foreseeable future, I may continue to mask in busy public places like grocery or department stores-- the covid protocols are great at preventing colds or flu, which I should have had at least once and probably twice in the past year and a half, but have avoided...
The mask is a very small inconvenience, which has kept me from any communicable illnesses whatsoever during the pandemic. Also on the plus side, it negates the need to shave every single day, so I am saving money on razers and shaving cream. lol
