[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8279575, member: 50987"] My wife and I are fully vaccinated, and it's been more than 2 weeks since our last shot. Mask requirements are relaxing in our state, and businesses are still starting to open. But we aren't relaxing. We still work from home, we still stay home whenever we can, and when that's not possible we still wear masks and practice social distancing. We have no desire to stop anytime soon. And it's not fear or paranoia, at least not for me...it's anger, resentment. Relaxing the mask requirement should be a relief, but two minutes on social media reminds us that we still can't trust our fellow citizens to do what's right for the sake of public health. We have learned that there are people here who value their own comfort and convenience (and bottom lines) over the lives and safety of strangers, and it makes it really hard to want to associate with them. Dinner at home with a handful of my close friends? Sure! Restaurant full of strangers? Pass. [/QUOTE]
