Why do some people in my class still wear mask?

[mohammad bin cibai]

I've asked them about it, and they all don't want to tell me. One of them said, they just want to use up all the mask. But I still don't get the reason from the rest of them. Do you guys know anything about it?

[Xero_Daxter]

You do realize that wearing mask existed before covid existed? Lmfao.

[kingjames488]

maybe they're really into asian culture?

It's a personal choice, never understood why it bothers people. Do you have that much time on your hands you have to involve yourself in the lives of everyone around you, some people might not want you in their life.

I expect it's because a lot of people consider being able to see someones face to be of extreme social importance so they can try to read them... and if they're wearing a mask they feel like they're "hiding something".

kinda like how people consider something they're told in person more legitimate than something they read on the internet... or at least that was the case until people started attaching their faces to their ideas in the form of video media... except that's inherently deceptive as it can be rehersed, so it's really just another mask that people should distrust.

In asia people wear mask to protect themselves and others from common flu, i hoped that that trend move west due to whole covid thing but sadly it made people just more annoyinig.

Because of the covid thing you can't wear a mask because people instantly think you are some covid simp that is afraid of everything.

if I were going to complain about anything anyone had on their head it would be the guy I saw wearing a turban with a baseball cap pinned on the top of it at an amusement park when I was a kid lol...

bloody ridiculous.

Some people were doing that already before covid - especially in East Asia. Of course, covid made this more common everywhere.

They may be afraid of getting sick or spreading their own germs.

As for me, I do not care what others choose as long as they do not impose it on me.

They might be sick and trying not to spread their illness or they might be exposed to ill people, so leave them alone, keep your personal space and have some respect for others.

The mask doesn't work and has never worked.

Proof?

Over 100 years of dozens and dozens of medical studies on masks of various different materials. All of which is publicly available information. Surely you didn't think nobody in the medical industry ever put thought or research into this prior to Covid?

the problem is no one actually bothered to listen to a word anyone said about the whole thing!!

no one ever said those masks would protect you from infections. right from the start the WHO said it was to prevent YOU from spreading infection to OTHERS though splatter.

you put a barrier in front of your mouth, you don't spray splatter all over. it's not a rocket science concept.

the problem is that the media miss-reported it to make people think masks would keep them safe and the whole thing just got out of hand with people who were scared opposing people who were actually thinking....

I don't even go out in public that much and knew I never had covid ffs, but I still did the mask thing cuz well... it wasn't that often and I could deal with it for others piece of mind... what I did NOT tolerate was the hand sanatizer requirements all over because the sensory aspect of it triggers me and I just have to get that ♥♥♥♥ off.

Masks are still being worn here, you see every 5th or 10th person you walk by with a mask on and some of the cashiers at the local grocery still wear masks and at Tim Hortons a few employees are still wearing masks

don't think they let the cashiers here wear masks anymore... otherwise what would be the point of having risked a lawsuit by discriminatively hiring almost all young attractive women for those roles?

[nullpo]

Why can't they?

Oh here we go this thread will end well.

But here's my experience about this.

I did it for the last 3 years but in the last couple of weeks I made the decision to stop wearing one.

I do notice it a bit on public transport like buses or the train but apart from that no one seems to do it much anymore here except for maybe older people and Asian people. But they seemed to do that even before the pandemic.
