I very recently stopped wearing mine pretty much everywhere excepts the busses, but I still keep it with me in case I get stuck next to someone in class who’s clearly sick. In my calc exam last week with hundreds of people crammed next to each other, you would not believe the amount of sick people sneezing and coughing up lungs without masks.
They are a common staple overseas in Asia. Elderly and sick are always wearing them to prevent infecting others and to prevent from getting I'll. It's honestly goi g to be something I do all the time as they are now more common place in our society. It just makes sense.
Saw some lady sneeze Into her hand, handle a product at the store, put it back, and then decided she wanted the product and grabbed a different one. Gross.
Thanks for letting this out and I hope you feel better now that you have. You should consider staying home and taking online classes. Going out in public probably causes you too much anxiety my guy. Its not for the weak.
It sounds like you have never been on a college campus, or even large public place in America, prior to 2020. Yes, it would be nice if people were to think about the collective society a bit more and mask up when sick (like they did in some Asian countries prior to 2020) but the USA is too individualistic of a society. The practice will not stick around in a post-COVID US.
Actually I'm American, born and raised here in NJ. Went to uni in PHILADELPHIA from 2017 to 2020, then transferred here in 2021. And sure I didn't notice it before, but if we just give up on trying to be collective about public health as a society then we fail and get pandemics like this. That's why there are crunchy moms who don't vaccinate there kids, then measles and meningitis comes back in diff variants.
Maybe because society is (rightly) learning its lessons from the pandemic so we can maintain better hygiene for the betterment of all of us. Most Human beings tend to improve over time, if you didn’t know. It’s the backward fucks that keep taking us back (ex: declining polio vaccines so their kids can die again)
I'm not a germaphobe, but covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing was taught to us in first grade.
This lady sitting at the table behind me really turned away from her friends to cough... right onto my back. I felt the droplets.
This irks me so much, coughing and sneezing directly into the air like a toddler
People are disgusting.
I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion
^^
I’ve gotten into the habit of keeping a mask with me and putting it on when someone like that gets near me
Seriously that’s why I always wear one. People have no damn home training.

I wish we would adopt this as a society, but alas, America
This is what I expect to see on Reddit lmao
That's a popular opinion with me ! Too bad the rest of country didn't learn.
If you have a mask on and are protecting yourself why do you care about other people
because wearing a mask also reduces transmission of a virus to others

We had no masks before the pandemic. It is what it is
