Too Many have just
shrugged and Life as

I don't get this American fixation on needing to see people smile. Must look happy at all times! Must provide validation for others! Never appear like something is wrong or communicate the truth in any way!

If you're worried, a good mask helps prevent you from getting infections. But if others don't chose to do so, and there are no mandates in place, that's their prerogative - so then just be quiet and stop pouting.

The problem is you enjoy pouting about it. It's your twisted little Munchausen syndrome playing tricks on you, and also making you an annoying bore.

@ 3,

No it’s that refusal to wear masks spreads the virus, which has the potential to sicken and kill any of us, even if we’re vaccinated.

It’s asking nihilistic people to give a damn about anything other than themselves, and they don’t.

If you're so concerned, then wear a mask and mind your own business.

Anonymous is right, the pandemic isn't over yet, but I'm afraid we won't see anywhere near as much masking unless mandates return because hospitalizations and death increase severely to the point where nearly everyone's lost a family member or knows someone who died from Covid. America's had such a high death rate because so many people resent being told what to do even if it's for their own good.

Sad to say but places like China and Indonesia had much lower death rates because they have authoritarian regimes who enforce their mandates. It should be a teachable moment for America but the evidence and the infection rate says it isn't. As usual in this idiocracy, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Anon should stay home if he/she is worried about the risks of travel.

@7 - China is in far worse shape because their vaccines aren’t effective and have hardly any heard immunity.

If there is to be any viability of mandates, not wearing them has to be respected when local guidance has removed said mandate.

you would look much nicer if you smiled

11

This isn’t something unique to the US. Masking in countries with an open society is pretty much the same as here.

12

Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this brilliant strategy of calling their Culture War opponents "fucking lunatics" before? That's sure to bring 'em around.

13

I religiously wear a mask and yet screeds like this are a turn off. Maybe that’s why. I do the right thing and people still complain.

14

COVID doesn't care about your excuses.

COVID doesn't care about your politics.

COVID just wants to spread, which might mean you're dead.

Mask up.

15

@14: Sure mask up, or not, totally optional.

16

Not sure what buses you’re riding because my experience in Seattle is about 80% of riders are still wearing masks.

17

No. Mask adherence was not the “same as here.” It’s not remotely uniform to the US. And the US itself has widely divergent adherence.

https://www.healthdata.org/sites/default/files/files/Projects/COVID/Mask_use_infographic_2020-1.pdf

In fact mask adherence was highly dependent on mandates regardless of the type of government.

And according the the American Journal of Preventive Medicine nations and regions with mask mandates death rates were significantly lower.

But too late now. America is bound and determined to lower its life expectancy yet again.

19

OK. Besides the fact that this person is a lunatic, when do we have to say that COVID is over and then everything will be fine! NEVER. It's here FOREVER. So, mask up if you want , but better yet get vaccinated/boosted. If some people go without a mask so be it. To each their own. I mean-this is not any different than the flu. AT ALL. Yet hardly anyone masks up for the flu. Go out and get vaccinated/boosted. Like reply 18 said - we're all going to die at some point.

20

yeah and we're gpnna be
Dead for a L . O . N . G fucking time
like Forever from what I hear . what's the Hurry?
