When we wear masks, not only do we do the right thing, but it helps others to feel brave enough to join us.

I just want to say when I personally see someone with a mask, I have no judgement or opinion on the person. That person needs or wants a mask and I think that’s a good thing that came out of the whole pandemic.

No it doesn’t. When others see people wearing a mask now, they think your either paranoid, virtue signalling, or have an health condition and therefore hava a higher threat model.

Don’t feel embarred wearing a mask. Do what you think is best for yourself, but I can tell you it does not make people “brave and to join the movement”.

My wife has a chronic lung condition … we can’t risk any kind of infection so she avoids going anywhere in public and I wear a mask everywhere I go where there are more than one person that is new to us.

After this pandemic, we’re never going back to the way things were in the past.

Yep, the world is overrun with selfish entitled assholes that don’t care about anyone but themselves and their immediate family.

And they’ll point their fingers everywhere but themselves when it comes back to bite them.

If pressed hard, all they have is “Are you still talking about that”, “That was a long time ago. Get over it.”, The Narcissist’s Prayer, and so on.

Or there is a minority of people who lack any meaning in their lives and when the pandemic came along, they made it their life mission to end the virus for good. Turned the pandemic into a religion of sorts.

My advice buddy is to let this all go and enjoy life. 2022 and 2023 have been great years for me and it can be for you as well. Get outside more if you do not get outside much, stop reading and watching the news and just live. Leave this “We must stop COVID” belief behind. Just like the flu, COVID is here to stay.

Really? At this point when see someone wearing a mask I assume they have a cold/flu/covid and they’re being prosocial…

Not me or anyone I know thinks that when seeing someone with a mask on. Nobody wore a mask when they were sick before 2020. And when I have the sniffles, I never wear a mask. If I am really sick, I will just stay home. Just like how it was done before 2020.

As soon as I see someone use the phrase, “virtue signaling” unironically I know they’re a fucking idiot.
