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.
So says the virtue signalling full blown AH.
"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."
Sure he's scared. It was YOU who scared him you panty wearing twat
Yah, if going out among your neighbors increases anxiety no wonder you vote for nanny-state TWOTs like Fredo’s Brother and the Commie Mayor and get your city turned into a cesspool. Go ahead, stay home. Starve. Eventually that will provide relief to rent crisis.
” some are struggling with anxiety. “?
get a life there snowflake.
Appropriate story for homo pride month.
“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.”
A recent study showed exceedingly high mental illness among lib/leftist females.
Person emerging from lockdown:
I forgot how many.....criminals.....overflow in the ranks of the human race. They’re all over the place.
I’m going back home.
LOL! Are you kidding? That’s what the Good Lord needs to do with the Soy “parents..”
Ala Error wills it!
Agree.
Yeah....the criminals that have taken over nasty NYC aren’t experiencing any anxiety....about masks, or anything.
Were they dropping dead, by the hundreds, during all of this ScamDEMic?
California, circa 1918...wear a mask or go to jail.
Satan is working always and he may be watching and helping them.
Sorry to be sour.
Back when we signed up, I thought this internet thing probably wouldn’t last... I should have come up with a better username.
stop it already, you bunch of girls
I know, right? What peahens they are..
I wear a mask when I’m required to do so (by a private business owner).
Never mind Fauci’s emails (which were damning); here in NJ our governor ended restrictions strictly for economic reasons (end of school, summer tourism). A few weeks before when the CDC lifted restrictions our governor and that of NY kept ours in place; they said we still had too many cases, too much risk.
The main reason I’d keep my mask in some cases is because the imported foreign replacements here in the NYC metro area often ignored any kind of distancing, handwashing, etc. - and THAT was why so many here contracted it.
A face diaper is of no benefit versus a virus, inclusive of the ChiCom Virus and based on a recent University of Florida study, may be dangerous.
The ChiCom Virus was effectively distributed killing many in senior facilities in NJ as in NY, Michigan, California and Pennsylvania.
The distribution was facilitated by putting infected patients into those facilities against national guidelines by order of those five state’s governors.
I know all about Murderin’ Murphy and attended a Jack C. event last weekend. We’re mobilizing to fight to November.
