To elaborate, BB said people who are wearing masks should stay away from everyone else.You are discussing why people shouldn't need to wear masks if they choose not to. I never brought that up, and haven't brought that up in about 6 months. |

Then the world will keep having infections and increasingly evasive subvariants that evade vaccinations. We're in a yet another Covid wave because people think it is over.Latest estimates from the federal goverment are that at least 60% of the US population has had Covid. That's 200 million people, which in turn means that the much-publicized one million deaths means a death rate of 0.5%.* Hardly a Guaranteed Death Sentence that all the fearmongerers whine about. * = I'll bet it's even lower among people physically able to ride the subway |

You think that's al there is to it - 99.5% survive, and then forget about it ?"one in five adults who recovered from a Covid-19 infection have experienced at least one medical condition relating to long Covid, according to a study published Tuesday by the CDC. The most common conditions among all adults were respiratory symptoms and musculoskeletal pain, the researchers found. Covid patients were also twice as likely as other people to have conditions affecting the lungs." "Heart inflammation was found to be an ongoing problem for one in eight patients who were hospitalized with Covid-19," |

It's the others who need to stay away from us sane people.The "sane people" are the ones not wearing masks. Therefore the "others" are those wearing masks. BB says people wearing masks should stay away from people not wearing masks. I find that to be a disgusting sentiment. Why shouldn't I enter a store while wearing a mask if I want to. Now maybe BB didn't mean what he wrote. But he wrote it. |

I think that’s a stretch and I understood the “others” to be those who have an issue with people not wearing masks as it was in response to Joe saying that those not wearing masks should stay away.Joe thinks that anyone who has a problem with being required to wear a mask should stay away. Bill thinks that anyone who has a problem with people not wearing masks should stay away. Not one post stated that people wearing masks should stay away. |

The kids are used to it given that they have to wear that damn thing all day. I’m especially concerned about the younger kids having to wear them. I can’t imagine that concealing the most emotive part of the face doesn’t affect development. It’s like (non-permanent) tail docking for humans. |

Let me put this way: insufficient.Had they been any more extreme, your side of the aisle would have screamed fascism, socialist, commmunism, civil rights, freedom, etc. Now requirements have let up, we are in another wave, despite higher vax rates. Masks have mostly come down in NJ since the indoor requirment was lifted. |

It's very unlikely that any subway rider will become a victim of violent crime. The real issue is that all the skells and beggars are creating an unpleasant atmosphere, and that in turn make the subway seem more menacing that it really is. |
