I hate the maskthing for a couple reasons: I’m being judged no matter what I do. When I wasn’t wearing a mask I was getting dirty looks by people who were, now that I have to wear one at work we are getting the dirty looks from non mask wearers. My gripe is that it speaks to the idea this is more politically fueled and perception related and not so much health related.
Secondly, most masks I see are basically scarfs. If it’s not a medical grade mask, microscopic pathogens are a lot smaller than a normal fabric and it’s useless. Again, it goes back to perception over real impact.
With that being said I have a trip in June and will be wearing a mask where required, it’s all just so backwards though.
