I kinda wish we still had to wear masks
No one is stopping you. Go for it!
Masks only protect other people from your own germs, not really vice versa. If I'm not sick, there's no reason for me to be wearing the mask.
It'd be nice if people showed consideration for public health but it seems like the average person doesn't give a shit and mask-wearing is now (unfortunately) a political statement, which I think disincentivizes wearing one even further for those that don't care.
US gov: Spend 10 trillion dollars on the world's biggest military operation to prevent retaliatory attacks caused by 3 trillion in oil investments after an attack kills 3k people in NY.
Also US Gov.: Spend 2 trillion to fighting a disease that kills millions of people, give up after 2 years. Most the money actually went to business bailouts.
Interesting question, I know I was like 7-8 when we invaded Iraq, living in the south and definitely propagandized (I remember they played "Proud to be an American" in the cafeteria for weeks after 9/11)
I didn't know any better, afraid of/hated Muslims and remember asking a teacher why we didn't just nuke all of the Middle East 🤦♂️
I don't remember getting a rebuke at all.
Now I see how we were all played by the propaganda machine
Ok boomer lol
They offer some protection to you too.
Yeah I'm pretty sure fffp3/N95 masks should leave you almost completely protected in normal circumstances, outside of working in a hospital or whatever.
If worn properly, which is actually pretty hard to do. Getting a proper seal on them is pretty uncomfortable, at least for me.
Still ‘had to.’ It’s pretty disgusting to sit in a poorly ventilated classroom with 10 people coughing their lungs out and wiping their snot on the chairs. University by the way.
I mean I do when I can? I look pretty in a mask
Winter time in close quarters where people are sick are the perfect time to wear
The facemask keeps so much heat inside my body, really shows how scarves have been fucking around this whole time.
GEDDOVERHERE!
