When we wear masks, not only do we do the right thing, but it helps others to feel brave enough to join us.
I just want to say when I personally see someone with a mask, I have no judgement or opinion on the person. That person needs or wants a mask and I think that’s a good thing that came out of the whole pandemic.
No it doesn’t. When others see people wearing a mask now, they think your either paranoid, virtue signalling, or have an health condition and therefore hava a higher threat model.
Don’t feel embarred wearing a mask. Do what you think is best for yourself, but I can tell you it does not make people “brave and to join the movement”.

Really? At this point when see someone wearing a mask I assume they have a cold/flu/covid and they’re being prosocial…
Not me or anyone I know thinks that when seeing someone with a mask on. Nobody wore a mask when they were sick before 2020. And when I have the sniffles, I never wear a mask. If I am really sick, I will just stay home. Just like how it was done before 2020.
I can’t imagine being someone who not only doesn’t experience personal growth but also refuses to learn from the changing world around them. If you wanna act like an inconsiderate dumbass go ahead but you should keep that dumb shit to yourself dumbass.
I did learn lots in the past few years about human nature.
Before 2020 my sick colleagues would sit next to me sneezing away or coughing and complaining they had the worst flu. Hardly anyone acted responsibly. Masks have been a step in the right direction.
They should of stayed home, not come to work. Instead of pushing masks, people need to stop calling in sick when they stub their toe and start calling in sick when they have the flu or a bad cough.
The pandemic was just a horrible time in history and we do not need to keep any of its rituals around in daily life. No one was considered inconsiderate for not wearing a mask in 2019, and no one should of ever been considered inconsiderate for not wearing a mask, especially now in 2023.
Yep, the world is overrun with selfish entitled assholes that don’t care about anyone but themselves and their immediate family.
Or there is a minority of people who lack any meaning in their lives and when the pandemic came along, they made it their life mission to end the virus for good. Turned the pandemic into a religion of sorts.
My advice buddy is to let this all go and enjoy life. 2022 and 2023 have been great years for me and it can be for you as well. Get outside more if you do not get outside much, stop reading and watching the news and just live. Leave this “We must stop COVID” belief behind. Just like the flu, COVID is here to stay.
“stop reading” is exactly the sort of advice I’d expect to get from an antivaxxer brainlet. Maybe you should start reading.
stop reading and watching the news
The news is not good for mental health, all it is these days is just high quality fear porn. Its no better than Info Wars, lets be honest.
They should invent filters that you can put over your body parts that help stop transmission of COVID.
Sounds nice, but how, exactly, would you filter a disease?
The engineering effort will be greatly reduced if you focus on filtering SARS-CoV-2 instead. It turns out that if you avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection, the COVID-19 disease will not develop. No need to overcomplicate the problem.
Well I for one found this just facetious enough to warrant a chuckle
Nobody likes a pedant
True, but everyone loves the “Nobody likes a pedant” responses, so there is sacrifice to get the good stuff.
You tried to be pedantic but failed, they said “stop the transmission of covid” which implies stopping the virus that causes it
