These people just can't help themselves? I cannot understand the end game with maskers? N95s are so impractical, and have already failed in Germany and a couple of other countries with regards to spread anyways. Just amazes me how data illiterate these people are. Even if masking worked, I still can't understand those that think it's better for society.
It's almost like it's the crowd that was born a bit anti social, and feel safe behind it. Or just became so indocrinated with regards to masking they have literally forgotten what life was life before masks. A normal, mentally healthy individual that is accepting of reasonable risk/reward vs absolute risk zero at all costs, that wants to socially interact with human beings the way that was inborn in us want nothing to do with masking. Maskers are a cult, and a weird group of people.
I think it's actually pretty simple. Most of these people's lives generally have no purpose, outside of complaining about politics on twitter. Wearing a mask gives them a badge of honor and an internal sense of superiority over people who don't wear them, that they can then internet high five other people who share the same absurd viewpoint.
That's definitely part of it
I do know a handful that are still very afraid of catching it, and still swears the mask is the reason they haven't. Which is incredible. Just happened to be my boss and his wife making it all the more hard for our company to get out of them
One is slightly immunosuppressed but would still not be considered high risk, especially with omicron. I'd still put her in the 99% range as opposed to 94% .
I think many still believe they can out run it forever despite its inevitable push towards endemicity
And some also still think we are overwhelming hospitals and even though admit masks don't do much and they will probably get covid, think we need to spread it out still
I just can't agree with any of them regardless. Masks greatly lower our ability to be human with each other
