We are talking about it, because there are serious discussions going on in the country about certain areas returning to masking. LA County already has including Universal Hollywood.

Public health measures have not and never will be implemented to prevent "long COVID." It's just not going to happen. As soon as hospitalizations are fully decoupled from cases, it's over. We can sit here and debate it all we like. In reality, if people aren't being hospitalized at a high rate with COVID, there will be no capacity limits, there will be no distancing, there will be no masks (we're already there).

With no way to enforce it with the police department and county supervisor publicly speaking out against it; because there is nothing to support masking vaccinated people.

No one wants to believe the CDC anymore because they aren't supporting their pro-mask and pro-lockdown agenda anymore. Funny how the "trust the science" crowd doesn't want to believe the experts anymore. LA County is shining example of stupidity by forcing vaccinated people to wear masks again when the experts said its not needed. We are so screwed.

Many people are also hesitant about a new vaccine. When they see more and more people taking them and not having any scary side effects they will be more likely to consider getting one.
Also when reports come out about the majority of severe covid cases being in the unvaccinated, that’s another push to take a day or 2 off work and get the vaccine.
And local officials in Orlando, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles are saying the opposite.

When all have an opportunity to be post-vaccination, I agree with this.

Los Angeles has no way to enforce their mask mandate. Police will not write citations for them.

- Kids are at a lower risk of hospitalization and death from COVID than respiratory diseases that are already endemic (pre-COVID).
- Latest study shows "long COVID" in kids is rare; they couldn't find a significant difference between the infected and non-infected control group.
Everyone who is at significant risk of serious disease from COVID-19 can get vaccinated right now; with the exception of some kids with underlying conditions.

I hope he’s back to full health quickly.

I follow the science. If you're vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask. The problem is that since no one wants to do the work to make sure those not vaccinated to wear a mask, then the answer is everyone has to wear one. It's really the only reason where I live they haven't dropped masks yet. They will when we hit 80% first dose and 70% fully vaccinated.

I don’t need this quoted to me again. I was sharing my personal view only, and as the parent of a child who is literally 1 of 300 in the entire world, such impacts being “low” or “rare” is not a comfort.

Why not? If it’s necessary then do it! If not, then there’s no need!

I trust the science. I also trust the CDC.I also trust the experts. So if you mean some people, possibly. We can’t all be lumped in together.

I have a child with an illness that is 1 in a million, so I understand and appreciate your perspective.

We tried allowing vaccinated people to unmask while masks were still required for the unvaccinated, but that doesn't seem to be working, so I understand LA County's approach. LA county is 100% following the science, unvaccinated need to be masked, and having everyone masked is their approach to making that happen.
Yeah and ?
My whole family is vaccinated.
You want protection from the sick unvaccinated guy next to you.
He doesn’t care about you or your mandates.

Realizing I wrote mine poorly - one of 300, not 1 in 300. Only 300 people total ever diagnosed with her disorder, so there’s really no way to know how this will impact her.

Wrong. I refuse to be punished for another year with "restrictions" because I got the vaccine.

But we're continuing to make it easy for the unvaccinated. The vaccinated continue to bear the weight of this pandemic and the unvaccinated go freely about their lives. That's the issue.
The truth is, if we can't stay 100% open without restrictions and let COVID run rampant, then maybe we do need an immunity passport. And not to "stop the spread" but to use it as a tool to increase vaccinations.
And I say "immunity passport" because there is no practical reason that we should not include immunity from prior infection; the data is clear. There are far more breakthrough infections in vaccinated people than people who were previously infected.
