BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — New York immediately rolled back most COVID-19 restrictions Tuesday, a sign of recovery.
But as many celebrate and rejoice, some are struggling with anxiety.
"My anxiety comes from wanting to make sure that I respect others' wishes so I always have my mask in my pocket," said Bill Sanford.
"My real biggest fear is how my son feels. I know he's scared, right? He doesn't feel safe out in public without having mask on. And I'm trying to do my part as father to let him know he's safe," said Kyle Bukolt.
"My main concern was people being truthful and honest about with what their vaccine level is," said Kaitlin Wojak.
"It's normal, natural as human beings to have anxiety when things are changing, when we have new norms," said Lindsey Rickard, VP of Training & Innovation at BestSelf Behavioral Health.
She said one way to help cope with this kind of anxiety, is to make sure you know what your boundaries are, being able to express them, and asking other about their boundaries.
"You might have had a great time hanging out with your kids and your pets at home, and really enjoyed that time at home, while other people have had a really tragic last year and a half and have lost people. And have had a really hard time." said Rickard.
She said if you are not comfortable with taking off your mask, it’s perfectly fine to express that you wish to continue wearing it.
Rickard also said to make sure not to pass judgment on others who want to keep their distance or pass on attending a social gathering.
"People are going to have different levels of being comfortable. Some people are going to jump right back in, fully vaccinated no mask. Other people are are going to need more time," she said.
And for some, having the vaccine has helped put their mind at ease.
"I'm vaccinated and I feel like...I'm happy we're getting back to normal," said Robin Sanford.
I still see kids walking home from (summer) school wearing masks in the 116 degree heat. The public schools are a major locus of brainwashing and have these kids in constant terror. Having weak-minded parents like this one makes it worse.
No, they’ve raised a pansy-ass.
I still see businesses that require employees to wear a mask
while on the job. Customers aren’t required to do so.
It’s rated 91 OUTSTANDING. (had some on my recent trip out west)

GR8 to CU, deport.
Reading this makes me proud that I am not a snowflake covered pansy.
If the greatest generation lived 80 years ago, we are now the fraidest generation.
“I understand the anxiety of anyone living in the NYC metro area simply due to the high number of cases here that resulted in fatalities before the medical profession understood how to treat this.”
I’m from NYC and I don’t. This is a BS article to control Lemmings and fools. Read Dr. Fallacy’s email on useless face masks.
Yet he was pushing face diapers and recently not one but two for ALL of next year.
There’s more truth that will be exposed on the ChiCom Virus and the totalitarian Great Reset effort.
When I see the face diaper fools I typically think, “look another coward, anti-science Democrat.”
Thanks. Not a lot of us old timers still around FR now.
Just glad to wake up each morning and see the sun rise.
NY is nuts. They’re afraid of lockdowns and are equally afraid of re-opening.
Thanks to Woody Allen, king of neuroses.
Just glad to wake up each morning and see the sun rise.

“My anxiety comes from
My real biggest fear is
“My main concern was

“some are struggling with anxiety”
???
Some are and have been “struggling” with forcing the real world into a false bubble gum “reality” of their own construct.
When it does not work they are “not comfortable and have anxiety.”
Normal people around them are not obligated to abide by what they demand so they can “feel comfortable.”
Infantile Personality Syndrome.
It is the hellish world of the prog.

How about being a man and not a scared pussy? Be an example to your son and get an eff'n backbone. Tell him the truth about how face diapers don't. If that doesn't work, then shame the kid.
Stop the world, my kid is scared.
Our insidious mask mandate was lifted about 3 weeks ago. I still see people clinging to their masks and yesterday I saw a woman, alone in her car, wearing a mask. These people are just weird. I’m serious, they are psychologically impaired with absolutely no reasoning ability. They are like mindless drones, robots, who are easily programmed and who will always obey the prime directive from their government masters through CNN or MSNBC.
One month ago Florida effectively banned masks throughout the entire state.
The only places I have encountered a mask requirement are a couple of doctors offices.
Otherwise no other business is requiring a mask.
Check out the data in Florida and you will see there has been no upturn in covid cases in the last month.
A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, sent 6 face masks to a lab at the University of Florida, requesting an analysis of contaminants found on the masks after they had been worn. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. Although the test is capable of detecting viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, only one virus was found on one mask
