A little weird maybe, but more in a social agreement way and not in a "going to bring home the plague" way. Our schools are lifting the mask mandates next week and I think I'm going to let the kids decide what they feel comfortable with. If we had anyone at home without the vaccine I'd be more adamant, but even my immune-compromised mother is kind of "eh" about it so at this point I think we'll mostly wear them in crowds and if we're feeling sick.

Very pro-mask! But my youngest kid is 11 so we're all vaccinated and we're not around any elderly or immunocompromised. Schools went to masks "recommended" but not "required" 2 weeks ago and my kids report something like 10% of kids are consistently wearing them now. I'm thinking we're going to see a dramatic increase in the non-COVID colds getting passed around and that's still very inconvenient because they're still requiring testing if symptomatic and then at least 5 days out if positive. So we're still masking at this point. Particularly my teen who can't stop picking at her lips when she's not wearing a mask!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014475699140493096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-9391542608932898862022-03-05T19:05:22.951-06:002022-03-05T19:05:22.951-06:00We have only work masks when businesses required t...We have only work masks when businesses required them. Our kids have activities that have required them and others that haven't. Now that our state no long had a mandate, we haven't worn them in a few weeks. We still have them if we have to go anywhere that still requires them (doctor, etc), but we aren't concerned. Covid tan through our house in January, and it was VERY mild. We didn't figure out it was Covid until the fourth and fifth person on the house got sick. The one that got the sickest was the one that was vaccinated... And even then, it was just flu-like symptoms (test confirmed Covid...)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120282395262228778noreply@blogger.com
