    After 6 months we have enough immunity built up that it's no longer as important.

    It's a changing situation.

    Whose immunity has been built up over that time? The vaccinated already had built up immunity through the vaccines. So are you saying that the firing of the unvaccinated was to protect the unvaccinated from the unvaccinated?

    Our immunity as a society. A higher percent of the population has either been infected or vaccinated so the risk of a business being shut down due to covid-19 is far lower than it was 6 months ago.

    I woke up this am with a headache from hell and a slight fever. First thing wife said was take a test of which she mailed for, I told her I think its allergies as they have kicked my ass before. So if Im not better in a couple days I will take a test, instead I just took a Zyrtec and they make me feel like crap too.

    I can say one thing for certain. Masks work, plain and simple. The last time I sneezed or coughed was February of ‘20. No joke. And I obviously travel like crazy all over the world. Masks work.

    I disagree. Especially with respect to cloth masks. Cloth masks do very little to prevent you from getting a viral infection.

    Then why haven’t I had the flu a simple common cold or even my normal allergy symptoms? Not a single cough or sneeze since I started wearing masks? Nothing? And as somebody who flies over 150K miles a year, I used to get sick all the time, even though I take an annual flu shot. Masks work my friend.

    Well they do prevent the virus from being expelled as long of a distance as no mask. My guess is that you haven't been sick because others have been wearing masks.

    But you can keep on wearing a mask as long as you wish. That is A-O-K with me!

    I get a cough but occupational hazard of gardeners. Breathe in dust, pollen, mold spores.
    But no Covid.

    Are you one of those people that would look down on me and my family if we did?

    Common sense - masks work. They're not perfect, but they obviously diffuse a significant amount of things you expel from your face. They're not perfect (hey, like a vaccine also is not perfect).

    I'm not going to wear masks for everything and everywhere. But I'll wear them in airports. Chunks of flights. But you can't also let your body go sterile from viruses and bacteria - that's only going to make your body weaker. Ask the Native Americans.

    Being vaccinated does not provide 100% protection.
