Basic common sense.
But I guess common isn’t too common these days.
Why would someone not wear a mask in a public place?
Unless they think they are invincible or that the virus is a hoax.
I guess you’ll wear a mask every time a communicable disease breaks out, like we have every time before? Oh wait, we haven’t done that in a hundred years.
Or they understand that even an N95 mask does not filter the virus particles, that there is no proof wearing a mask does anything, and that they may even be harmful
One freeper said he “wanted more cases not less.”
His goal is to get everyone infected so the survivors can go on with their lives.
“Why would someone not wear a mask in a public place?”
Why would you wear a contaminated mask? Do you properly don and doff a fresh mask each time? I know, you just stuff it in your pocket or place it in the center console of your car and put it back on again. Don’t lie to us, you do.
“Why would someone not wear a mask in a public place?”
Half the deaths are within commuting distance - on filthy subways - of New York City. In the rest of the country, over half of deaths are in nursing homes. So for the rest of us, about 15,000 deaths total among 300 million people.
And it primarily needs sustained contact with an infected person. A friend of ours died with coronavirus, if not from it. His wife did not catch it. It just isn’t as easy to catch as the FearBros make out.
FLYING:
“On all modern aircraft, passengers and crew breathe a mixture of fresh and recirculated air. Using this combination rather than fresh air only makes it easier to regulate temperature and helps maintain a bit of humidity (more on the humidity in a moment). The supply is bled from the compressor sections of the engines. Compressed air is very hot, but the compressors only compress; there is no contact with combustion gasses. From there it is plumbed into air conditioning units for cooling. It’s then ducted into the cabin through louvers, vents, and the eyeball gaspers above your seat.....
Studies have shown that a crowded airplane is no more germ-laden than other enclosed spaces—and usually less. Those underfloor filters are described by manufacturers as being of hospital quality. I needn’t be reminded that hospitals are notorious viral incubators, but Boeing says that between 94 and 99.9 percent of airborne microbes are captured, and there’s a total changeover of air every two or three minutes — far more frequently than occurs in offices, movie theaters, or classrooms.”

FWIW, I’m a FluBro. I also plan to fly next week coast to coast. I’ll wear a mask because the airline I’m going to fly on requires it. Not because it think it will do squat all to reduce infection of other passengers or my probability of catching something.
The air inside a commercial airliner isn’t quite as pure as open Arizona air, but it is probably safer than the air one finds in WalMart.
