The current mask-wearing fad is, in fact, a “big deal” as it serves as an incessant reminder that we are but a cough away from certain death. And if you think that opposition to continuing the elevated level of irrational fear that continues long after the Chinese virus has peaked is “childish”, then you and I have a much different perspective of responsible behavior.

"The current mask-wearing fad is, in fact, a “big deal” as it serves as an incessant reminder that we are but a cough away from certain death."

So, your psychological foibles are more important than other peoples lives??

"And if you think that opposition to continuing the elevated level of irrational fear that continues long after the Chinese virus has peaked is “childish”, then you and I have a much different perspective of responsible behavior."

The "peak" may indeed have passed...data shows that it has, but the virus is still killing almost 1500 Americans PER DAY, and we will pass 100,000 dead by the end of May. The decrease in slope is NOT happening quickly. So not wearing a mask if you have them available IS irresponsible behavior.
