So many people are concerned about other’s behavior. I stopped giving a hoot what anyone thinks about mine. You don’t know me, or the reasons why I do stuff. And unless I am asking you to change your behavior, I am not sure why it matters so much you.

I hear ya. I used to scoff at the people who still wear masks - especially the ones I occasionally see driving their car alone, but masked - but I get your point, we likely don't know their reasons for wearing them, and I've decided I won't judge. Are some motivated by fear? Probably, like that masked lady in the supermarket who, seeing me unmasked, made a rapid U-turn with her cart and sped away from me. But I will try my best to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Did that happen recently?

I was just in a hospital birthing center for a job I was doing. The only masks on anyone were the docs coming out of a C Section. That was refreshing.

1) Surgical and cloth masks do not stop viruses and were never intended to do so.

2) N95 do have some effectiveness in preventing user from spreading viruses but have to be changed frequently.

So yes, I will still mock the fools who walk around or drive around wearing surgical masks or cloth face diapers, usually under their noses. It shows a lack of intelligence, sheepish behavior, or germophobia (even if the latter, at least wear an N95 and change frequently).
