It’s simply science. Masking these days is performative or indicative of a person’s mental imbalance. I feel terrible for them, especially children when I run into families still masking.

Not correct. Masks work if everyone uses them properly. Which a lot of people didn't in the US during the height of covid, which contributed to the perception that masks don't work. People still mask who are sick, or immune compromised. It's not performative, it's an attempt at self-preservation. And your nasal flush nonsense isn't helpful.

WRONG. They DO NOT WORK. Period. If they did, why haven't humans been wearing masks since the dawn of time to prevent illness? THEY DO NOT WORK. JFC you people need help. Stay in your basement with your masks, nitrate gloves, and keep sanitizing your groceries.

BUT they do have a realization that this is a new virus, it is being linked to things like neuro decline and cardiac events, and no one really knows for sure what the risk will be a decade or two from now of having had it many times. So they are trying to prevent as many occurrences as they can.

AND they largely have the life circumstances to be able to do it - remote or very hybrid work; no one goes to school/daycare in their home; a spouse on the same page and with the same work situation. If they want to mask up, why is everyone SO bothered?

If you can't do it because you want to travel with your kids before they launch for college in 2 years or you don't want to ruin anyone's senior year harping on covid or you have kids in daycare, that's fine too.

But certain people - and certain cultures - play for decades and generations, not just for this summer and this fall.

the long game is to significantly curtail your life to avoid a virus that is non-lethal for vast majority based on some notion of “neuro decline”?

Could you say where/are they taking new biz or is this some private hair cutter situation? I find the Maga babes working at the salons to be the worst. I had one telling me in 2021 how she didn’t need the Covid vax bc she got the SARS 1 vax years ago which covered Covid and Obama had made a disaster of SARS 1. Fascinating that Obama had power over SARS in 03 or that she was vaccinated for it when a vax was never made and that vax covered a SARS strain that emerged some 16 yrs later.

The maga babe is probably having a much happier life than you.

Don't spread misinformation. Very few people wear masks correctly. First of all, you need to wear the *right* kind of mask. It's surprising how many of the still masking are still clutching on to cloth masks, the same totally useless masks we all wore for the first year or so of the pandemic before CDC finally admitted they did absolutely nothing. And even if you have the *right* kind of mask, you need to wear it properly, which many don't. And you need to wear it *all* the time, not just here and there. And even wearing a proper mask properly doesn't eliminate 100% the risk of getting COVID.

I LOVE, just LOVE the people who firmly mask up to go to the supermarket and then go home and hang out with family and friends unmasked. Well, where do you think that person's highest chances of getting COVID always was? Passing someone in the supermarket or spending time with your friend chatting over coffee? D'oh! That's how you know 99% of masking is theatrical anxiety.

+10000. I LOVE YOU! <3

I am a healthcare worker and I still wear my mask wherever I go. I'm glad a few others do as well, so I won't stand out so much.
