If 2 weeks after the second vaccination, everyone still has to wear a mask and socially distance, exactly what was the point?  If nothing is going to change, why would people want to get the vaccine?

Wearing a mask and socially distancing, Because, obviously ‘everyone’ isn’t vaccinated.

I won't quote "quotes" because it is not my style here. 

Your idea of "living life", as I stated in my prior post, is obviously, different than mine. I do what is required when I venture out in public, no more, no less. I do not condemn others I meet while out because of their making their own choices.

Once a contributor gets to "protecting others", my response is to end the conversation. All I will say is that it is not up to me to try to control what others choose to do. 

As I have said on this Bulletin Board for almost 2 decades. I live my life concerned primarily with what I can control, not with things I cannot control. This includes being able to recognize the difference between the two.

I will live my life concerned about those close to me, which is not the public in general. For those in public that are concerned about what I do or don't do?  Add a few feet, or yards, to their distance from me, and wear 2 masks, or more.

People who wear masks are not necessarily wallowing in sadness and fear. I don't think it's fair to label them that way.  We all have different life experiences, health issues and family situations.

@Another new name Sue 

Your interpretation of what @ID2 said is much different than mine. I will leave it at that.

Why can't people just consider other people's lives and maybe their co-morbidities and just do what the medical professionals and experts tell us to do in order to minimize any more death?

Those of us that care about our fellow man and are not high risk for the virus and complications are not living in fear, apprehension, etc.

It is a choice and a patriotic duty to don your mask and avoid unnecessary gatherings so that we can all get to the other side of this.

I am flummoxed as to the cavalier attitude of people that just don't seem to care about anyone but themselves. How sad to point fingers at mask wearing individuals and call them scared.  Just imagine it being a relative or friend that got sick and died from this.  Wouldn't you then wish that everyone was just simply following instructions?

Those of us that wear masks are extremely optimistic even though we are watching others participate in activities that will quite possibly cause another surge and certainly more death.

Once and for all, please wear your mask when you go anywhere indoors.  Give the less healthy than us a chance to see another day.

@patty17 

You've made your point and hopefully this is your last time.

You've been vaccinated, so you are doing your part.

Hey @Lali1 

Open and honest JOhn here! Nothing in my life is off limits here, except those against Community Standards. You ask, I give an honest answer. Those that choose to keep a list of "hockeynut" posts, be my guest, even if you choose to hold that against me. A month a year!

You can trust my answers about my life to be honest and factual as long as my long term memory stays in tact. My short term memory is shot, but long term is still pretty good, on things my brain deems memorable.

Stay well and keep your posts ah comin! 

hckynut 🏒

@hckynut I'm normally very open and honest to a fault almost. Sadly some here have taught me I shouldn't be that way. Live and learn. Good for you for not changing!

@Lali1 

You should have seen the posts when I started posting here, umpteen years ago. A mostly "ladies" Bulletin Board, and me a Male?  Called most every allowable name but "JOhn".

I about threw in the towel, but I found I was learning about things that interest me, so I am still here.

Kinda reminded me of my 30 years of being a Ref in hockey games. Between the fans and the players? If you had "rabbit ears", you would never make it as a Ref. I maybe unconsciously applied that to this BB.

Been fun/entertaining, and best of all, made some cyber friends along the way.

Take care now,

hckynut 🥅🏒

Couldn't agree more! It's the continual demonizing and harping about what others are or aren't doing and what we can't control is maddening. And that's what I say. Do what you need to do and stop worrying about others ( meaning the public) and what you can't control.

Why is this so important to you? You keep repeating it. It's very important to you to control how people talk? You want people to be silent so they don't hurt your feelings?

Isn't that being politically correct? To hold back and not say what you think about a topic? Sometimes people need to hear the truth, don't they? If the listener allows their feelings to get hurt, I thought that was on them and that they should stop looking for things to be outraged about.
