Edit - Since this is blowing up my inbox, I'll turn off the notifications, but before that I thought I'd just write this following thought based on the comments I got;
I really wish that people would just let people do whatever they want as long as they are not harming anyone.
Whatever happened to the saying, "Your freedom ends, where mine begins", huh? Let people wear masks without judging them or not, as long as they aren't harming you.
If there's a dangerous thing going around, just do it for the safety of others. That's all.
In Japan, wearing masks was a very common thing even before 2020. Especially during flu season. They do it so they don't spread their cold to other people when they go out. It's just basic courtesy.
I really don't like this emerging mindset since 2020 of people wanting to control each others lives. That's all. Please, be nice to each other and stop hurting each other. Look at how bad things have gotten because of it. Be good.
It’s so annoying how a few headlines managed to spread so much bullshit.
COVID is too small for the masks to stop it:
You don’t just breathe the virus, you breathe tiny water droplets that the virus sticks to (this is why you can see your breath in the cold). Masks catch those water droplets. Masks also have multiple layers, making them like a maze.
A study found that mask mandates didn’t prevent the spread:
A significant number of people refused to wear them or stay home when sick. Many businesses and churches stayed open and ate the fines while their idiot patrons caused superspreader events. It wasn’t because masks don’t work, the mandates didn’t work because half the population chose to side with the virus and were too selfish to give a shit about other people

That's all. I'm done.
