[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point I’d assume any child still masking will mask for the rest of their lives.  I do not want to socialize or spend a significant amount of time with someone masking.  I would not include them.  I realize that these people will say they have immune compromised family members but the truth is I never once came across a masked person pre-Covid.  These same people lived perfectly normal lives pre-Covid.  Now all of a sudden they feel the need to mask forever.  [/quote]

I guess you’ve never seen an Asian before then [/quote]

I went to a college with a large Asian population, worked at a large bank in NYC and traveled frequently between NY and LA.  I truly never came across people, including Asians, wearing masks.

My husband went to a Chinese prep school as a kid and he does not remember anyone wearing a mask.

If I google street photos of Tokyo in 2018, I do not see people wearing masks.

SARS, over 20 years ago, made it common for Asian people to wear masks when in large public settings, on public transport, or when feeling any symptoms of. Your anecdotes don't change that fact.[/quote]

It’s not just anecdotes.  Google photos of sporting events in Asia, photos of the Tokyo metro, street photos in large Asian cities pre-Covid… I don’t see people wearing masks.  Also, Asian movies and tv shows do not have people wearing masks pre-Covid.  I get there are people on the internet who say Asians wore masks pre-Covid, but I simply don’t see the evidence.

My relative was treated for cancer in Japan and I asked her if she wore a mask at the hospital.  She said no and doesn’t remember anything about masking.

My friend lived in Korea when her husband was stationed overseas.  Does not remember any masking.

Surely if masking was common I would have seen someone masked??  I remember seeing a person masked for the first time at an international airport in December 2020.  I found it odd.  [/quote]

People masked when sick or allergies but not regular.

Walter Reed and other military hospitals still require masks.  Some doctors offices still require masks.[/quote]

My veterinarian in DC still requires masks, which is completely ridiculous.  They tell me the city requires it, as they're considered a "medical facility." [/quote]
