So...virtue signalling.
You are a superior human being. You care so much.
Here here!
It’s just my way of communicating a message. “I don’t want to get it. I don’t want you to get it. I don’t want any elderly or sick people you know and live to get it.”
It’s a simple gesture. Costs me nothing. Doesn’t matter if it works. Wearing a suit to an interview doesn’t guarantee a job, but it tells your future boss that you respect their time.
That rationalization can be continued indefinitely into the future because there will always be diseases, bacteria, viruses, prions, etc. I hope those wearing masks never stop wearing them, for the sake of the elderly and the sick.
If you believe masks are effective please take a course on proper PPE use, effectiveness, and do pay particular attention to proper disposal!
