It is around one in fifty now wear masks. Virtue signaling is addictive.

It is like seeing someone with a flashing neon light above their head blinking, “Moron! Moron!”

To me a mask is a verifiable signal of low IQ. People need to understand that this “cartoon” is scientifically correct.

"I rarely see masks where I live."

Yeah, the only mask I see are the ones the hoodies wear when getting ready to rob someone...

The protesters.! Did you notice that most all of the Palestinian supporters were wearing mask, but the Israeli supporters did not..

I see a few in the Denver ‘burbs. One lady wore one playing mahjong yesterday BUT she still had some respiratory issues and a cough and did not want to spray everybody.
I dont waste my time thinking about mask wearer motives. To each his own.

LOL .. that is SO outstanding !

Virtually nobody wears them outside the big (liberal) cities.

When I go to NYC for work, you generally get two types of people wearing facemasks. You get the younger college age kids who think they are being virtuous by wearing them. Then you get the genuinely frightened elderly people who watched too much cable news TV during the big COVID scare of 2020.

I still see the occasional maskaloon when I shop at the Oldtown Super 1. What’s really funny is to see them parking with masks on and departing the same way.

Love it!! That’s hilarious.

I’m in favor of non mandatory masking. It let’s me know who to think of as a coward and imbecile.

Indeed. I think it's a public service for idiots to self-identify themselves so I know instantly who to avoid.
