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.
I like how the Japanese have always worn masks any time one of them was sick and it was never a problem for anyone.
Fucking Americans are goddamn idiots and always have been. Being the biggest military as your only bragging point is proof of incompetence.
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
Yes, exactly. The same people who are doing the antivax/antimask propaganda were the same ones who masturbated furiously to Toby Keith songs and called all of us who said “BAD IDEA!!!” traitors, America-haters, and every other slur under the sun. Never once have they apologized to Dixie Chicks even twenty years later having finally recognized the war for the sham it was. Still, those who hate the COVID response will still get mad as hell if you suggest cutting the “defense” budget. None of these people care about the money or the debts incurred or the astronomically high interest bill; their only concern is “will we be able to kill or punish someone?” regardless of the necessity.
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.
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 kinda wish we still had to wear masks
No one is stopping you. Go for it!

Did you support the Iraq war at the time? Be honest

Ok boomer lol
Gen X. We were stuck having to try to teach those idiots how a mouse works
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.

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!
