Same here - every time I go to Walmart, there’s 2-3 people with masks on - not as bad as it was, and there are some folks with compromised immune systems that can’t afford to catch a cold or the flu, so they may not all be Covid nuts.
As if wearing a mask is going to make them less likely to catch a cold or flu instead of more likely to make themselves sick with decreased oxygen and breathing their crap back in again.
That’s what I figure, too, for alot of them. But I also see many quite young and healthy (and unhealthy..) wearing them. It strikes me as some kind of statement they’re trying to make, or hysteria. And I also still see people masked up in cars!
Some people wearing masks may just have bad teeth.
No mask can stop a respiratory virus, WHO/CDC proved that in 2015.
A bacterial infection, sure. That is one reason why surgeons wear them.
In public, it is like a six-sided yellow star: “See me? I am a victim. I am doing this to protect you!!. I am holier than you. “
