For the first time in over a year I didn't have to wear a mask today at work....it felt kinda weird.

Just following the science. When science told me I needed to wear a mask I did now that the science tells me I don't need to I won't. Now of course I will still wear one when required but for now I'm just happy to be mask free at work.

The mask complaints are way overblown. Get a good mask and you'll hardly know it is there. I've worn mine 24x7 for days on end including sleeping (taking care of a lung cancer relative who could not risk getting any more sick). I have multiple times started eating forgetting that it is still on. If your mask causes problems, why not just get a good one that doesn't?

I was never very concerned for my own safety with Covid. But, I spend a lot of time around those who would be in very bad shape if they got it. I'm even less concerned with Covid now that I'm vaccinated. But, I really like that for the first time in years I have gotten through winter without a cold, flu, or bronchitis. So, I'm keeping mine on for a while longer. I'll probably take it off once Covid is mostly gone from my state, but until then, I actually enjoy mine. https://www.grainger.com/product/HONEYWELL-Disposable-Flatfold-Respirator-60KN92

The science also tells us that the unvaccinated will be following CDC recommendations and wearing a mask to protect everyone.

If you trust that science, I've got some beachfront property in Kansas you might want to consider.

The unvaccinated you are referring to didn't wear a mask before these new updated guidelines. Wanna know how I know that? Because I've had to argue with every fucking asshole for the last year who tried to come into my store without a mask. Then I had to watch them go all Karen on me and shout "FINE!! We will shop at stores that don't make you wear a mask!" and walk out the door. I still deal with it on a daily basis.

Like I said above I'm following the science and it tells me that I don't have to wear a mask and before you even ask NO I'm not asking every customer that walks in the door for their proof of vaccination AKA PAPERS PLEASE. Dealing with this shit over the past year about wearing a mask was enough that there is no fucking way I'm gonna start asking my customers for proof of vax. FUCK THAT
