What's this?

Not sure what my insecurities are, but you're right, my opinions are

In fact, my opinions.
I'm not sure how optional masks for people to use if they are sick in a doctors office is the same as people walking outside wearing a mask, or driving alone in their cars, or having their kid wear a mask on their chin when they play basketball.
Maybe a more polite way to say it is that all of us have our own fears and different levels. My opinion is that some people are overly fearful of some things. To each his own. Wear your mask forever and live in that fear that you'll be (at least here in SW VA) one of the less than 3% getting Covid.... Or be the one that goes to the hospital for covid (as of this week Montgomery and Giles hospital had 0 Covid patients).
Again, to each his own.

Why does it bother you? Someone else wearing a mask has zero impact on you -- AbsolutVT03 04/09/2022 12:27PM

It doesn’t bother me one bit. -- GreenvilleVT 04/09/2022 4:16PM

It bothers you enough that you both asked someone wearing one about it AND -- AbsolutVT03 04/09/2022 4:20PM
