In reply to the discussion: Fully vaccinated, and keeping my mask on [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)21. Me? Not so much. But sometimes.
If shopping at Publix on a Saturday with big crowds I put it on. But on a Wednesday morning with no one I dont.
The news plays up the dramatic. But if you are fully vaccinated you have a tiny chance of going to the hospital with Covid. Regardless of the variant.
Went to a brewery today. Very well spaced tables. I was comfortable with no mask.
All three of us are fully vaccinated.
I do worry about the wife who is over 60(barely) and had the J&J. Which Is not as good as the mRNA vaccines. But she is not concerned. And she has no co- morbidities. She recently had a very young manager that works for her assume she was in her late 40s! Without knowing she has 39 years with the same company!

Me too. I'm thrilled about the vaccine, but variants are still breeding out there.

Aren't you worried that your immune system will get soft and 'out of practice'?

Yawn, pretty much tired of both antimaskers and the mask obsessed at this point.

I'm with you. I wear a mask indoors so others can feel comfortable, but that's it really.
