That’s good, but the wife, who is a teacher, and the kids will still have to wear one everyday. They’ll sure be glad when that’s over, but looks like at the earliest that’ll be in august.

This is of course assuming local business choose to drop mask requirements. I suspect many will bow to pressure from the pro mask crowd.

After I get the 2nd vaccination shot, they can kiss my you know what if they want me to wear a mask. Common sense has to prevail sometime.

This virus may be getting knocked back, but with the new strains showing up, I'm hardly convinced that they won't rear their ugly heads as the masks come off.

Glad to see the masks go away.
I'm not convinced they were doing any good (for our health) in the first place.
Also a bit suspect of the vaccine and have not gotten it. Several friends got quite sick from it.
I suppose I'll get it if they make it mandatory for travel of airlines?

With all due respect, I have to disagree with your position that masks weren't doing any good. The corona virus is spread like other viruses such as the flu. This season the flu numbers have been down substantially and a good part of the reason (according to health experts) is because of the social distancing, hand washing and mask wearing that people have been doing to help slow the spread of the corona virus. www.healthline.com/health-news/why-the-flu-season-basically-disappeared-this-year |

It's been three weeks and just now feeling a little better. Worst part was high blood pressure and racing of the heart. Questions on side effects they would not answer. |

I've got a good supply of them and will likely continue wearing one on the rare occasions when I go inside a store, until the threat of bringing it home to my wife is much less than it still is now. We've received our first shots of the Moderna vaccine and will be getting our second ones tomorrow. However, the last word I've heard is that the variants may be less affected by the vaccine's protection, and is much more contagious.
I don't like wearing the darn things, either, and I suspect that Rand Paul probably is being sincere in his advice. But he's balancing the risk to the general public against the economic risk to the public. I have to balance the risk to my wife, who is highly compromised in several of the risk factors, and would be very unlikely to survive the infection. Makes a difference in the result when the downside risk is near certain miserable death of a loved one.
Our son is head of health and safety at a multinational corporation and has been dealing with the pandemic from the start, learning all he can and making decisions that balance the health of the company and the employees, as well as the public, and has put in tremendous care, thought and effort into the struggle the entire year. He's my expert of choice for realistic and responsible advice on the issue. I'd have to categorize his stance as currently being closer to that of Fauci than of Paul. His worst disappointments have been the disregard of those who have dismissed the risk to others and have sided with the virus instead of their fellow humans in this war.
Looks to me like we're finally making serious gains on the real enemy. Probably still too early to relax our defensive efforts and let the bug snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. IMO, if we "play sixty" maybe we can all toss our remaining masks onto the VC day bonfire in the fall, in person.

The county health official here said, surprisingly, that he would not be extending the local mask mandate that expires at the end of this month. He is still recommending mask use for those in questionable health.
I received the first vaccine dose Monday. It kicked my rear! Yesterday was a day that I will never get back. I felt like I hadn't slept in a month and was mentally lost. I haven't missed a day of work in over 20 years due to being sick, but I almost stayed home yesterday. Much better today.
The mask debate will go on forever. I have a neighbor that is a veterinarian and another a dentist. They both say that most of the masks people are wearing are useless and give people a false sense of security. I better stop there...
