What's the big deal seriously, well the world is walking around wearing mask for fear of catching or spreading a fucking virus that came from China.
It's a sad sad sight looking at the people on the streets wearing masks, if you're not upset about it pity you. I haven't got the answer to all this, it is what it is, fucking sad.

That's interesting, because as we all know the Black Death also spread from China a few centuries ago. Back then it was known as "the Yellow Peril" and the only defense against it was masks. The practice of collecting dead corpses in carts as illustrated below eventually became known in common speech as a "Chinese Take-away".

I'm with the "if everyone wears a mask, then wear a mask" team. I see it as a friendly gesture to indicate that I'm respecting other people's fears about catching covid. If I go into a little shop with not much distancing possible, then I put my mask on.

Wearing a mask and social distancing has a huge impact on human relations. I don't like it, but I'd like it even less if I was responsible for making people sick (or even afraid.)

At least the Darwin principle will thin them, unfortunately taking a lot of grannies along for the ride.
Well said. I really don't get it, wearing a mask was a minor inconvenience and something to be mindful of during the first week or so, then it just became routine, nothing I even think about anymore. What's the big deal, seriously!

The world isn't wearing a mask, some people are. Does it matter if it came from China? Only if you feel the need to blame. We all have to live with it. So, let's do so, bitching about wearing a mask is basically inconceivable to me (and I know how Wallace Shawn feels about "inconceivable").
Is it sad? No, it's fucking tragic.
Quoting "it is what it is" from a guy who wouldn't know science if it sat on his face, and is responsible for the largest number of covid deaths in the world is beyond reprehensible.

Hmm. Interesting.

He does call it a fucking virus, so maybe he meant he wants to die falling off a fucking cliff?

I don't like wearing them but i do when in close contact, especially in enclosed spaces.
Community transmission and active cases are close to zero here at the moment, but wearing masks in those situations ^^ is a really useful part of the package of keeping it that way.

(- according to those who know more than me.
and they have proved to be right about most things Covid so far.)

if you get the dark colored masks and wear them with shades and even a hat depending on the weather they look pretty bad-ass. So whoever was worrying about that earlier chill out. At least you'll avoid skin cancer.
