How at this point are there still so many people who don’t understand what masks are for? It’s not primarily to protect yourself, it’s to bolster the whole herd’s defenses by reducing spread.
The mask isn’t for you, it’s for everyone else. It’s not that fucking hard to understand.
That’s simply not true. A good n95 or n99 mask will absolutely prevent you from catching it. I spent 2 weeks around people with COVID and I wore my mask, and I never caught anything.
The problem is that everybody wears fucking cloth masks when we’ve had n95 masks available for 2 years and people complain that masks don’t work. Yet doctors use them, construction workers use them and people in labs do all the time.
N95 masks will protect you, but the reason good and well-adjusted people want others to also wear them is to protect everyone else, especially immune-compromised people for whom a COVID infection could well be life-threatening.
And of course it’s also a numbers game. If even 10% fewer people get infected, across a large population that’s a quite significant number of people who aren’t clogging up hospitals and calling out sick from the work force.
I understand perfectly, I’m just more than happy with the statistics of who tends to die. Young, healthy, vaccinated people being a larger proportion of society sounds good to me.
What a shit thing to say. Slightly less healthy people still write songs, hold the door for you, transport food, build things in factories, design new technologies, yet you’ve decided the world would be better off without them. Fuck you, seriously.
As my mother would say to me when I was a child and got bullied at school, we should feel sorry for this person, they are obviously deeply unhappy. They may think they are happy due to psychological issues that equate hurting others with keeping themselves safe. It’s pretty depressing
Putting aside your wanting disregard for human life, the virus not only killed people it also left people messed up for life. A close friend of mine was a fairly successful white collar worker, due to brain damage I have my doubts he will ever be able to work again. He was 37 in 2020. Also has two kids. Who I guess now get to see daddy struggle with driving a car and talking for over a few minutes.
