I can’t believe people still act like putting a tiny piece of fabric on your face is even an inconvenience.
I can’t believe in 2024 a person would act like a fabric mask does anything.
The science is out there now, you have to have a very tight-fitting new and clean n95 to have any chance at slowing down covid. Those are inconvenient and still expensive and if I was regularly masking properly it’d be a huge expense.
And if you’re not masking properly, you might as well wear a plague mask as your protective fetish.
Why anyone would do proper masking “preventatively” when you’re vaccinated and just a low level general risk of catching what is mostly a bad cold is honestly crazy to me. We now understand how covid works, who is at risk, what settings we can make a difference (ie indoors with extended exposure). There’s no reason to remain so scared anymore.
And I’m not anti-mask–I was early to mask, first with n95s later I had a fabric mask before switching back to n95. And I masked while indoors a lot longer than most people even after I was vaccinated because my GF’s mom was undergoing chemo summer 2021. But I occasionally still see people masking outside, in dirty reused surgeons masks and it really makes no sense.
Why anyone would do proper seatbelting “preventatively” when you have airbags and your car is built with crumple zones and just a low level general risk of getting in what is mostly a fender bender is honestly crazy to me. We now understand how collisions work, where they happen, how to build cars safer (ie with more airbags). There’s no reason to remain so scared anymore.

“fabric” is a generic term and what I used to include all masks, including n95s. Also, you don’t understand risk reduction.
You don’t know what I know, lol.
