| Comment | I guess I've just never understood why mask-wearing is anything but an incredibly minor inconvenience that is literally the most minimum effort thing you can do to protect other people
It's about risk and proportionate action, and I'm not asking for any other measures to be maintained, just the one tiny thing you can do to help out the vulnerable, while we're still at a prevalence of around 1 in 200 and that number doesn't seem to be dropping any further. To me the direction is more important than the number- infection rate has stalled at a level that still presents a serious risk to vulnerable people going out in public. If I go to the supermarket and it's full of maskless people, I turn around and go elsewhere, and right now it seems I can't go anywhere.
I understand the issues for e.g. schoolkids, but I don't think you're one of them.
And on mainland Europe there doesn't seem to be this particular weird opposition to face masks, I guess I don't really get (and would genuinely like to hear from you) what the problem is with it. Is it a libertarian thing? |
