It’s always funny to me when people think masking means you are constantly terrified and living in fear. I wear a seatbelt in the car, and nobody accuses me of constantly thinking about having a car accident.

I hate to tell you about the "Libertarian" view on seatbelts and seatbelt laws.

Putting on a mask is just so much easier than estimating usage patterns, ventilation, and the fraction of the population who are infected and either asymptomatic or going out to share their infection.

I’m not that concerned with catching the sniffles, but I’d hate to pass a bug along to an immunocompromised person when I could prevent it by taking ten seconds to don a mask. Treating courtesy and simple thoughtfulness as if it were cowardice erodes civilization. Fuck that take.

i had a customer at work lecture me about how wearing a mask meant that I was still traumatized by the pandemic and I needed to "heal." well ma'am I'm going to find healing a lot easier if I don't have brain fog and fatigue from long covid

and even if you were - look, I AM constantly terrified and living in fear these days and if I could wear a mask to protect me from climate change and rightwing politics I would absolutely do that. I don't see what's wrong with that!

It’s also backwards. I mean if you’re subverting your rational life/health saving instincts because you don’t want to be “weird” and looked at sideways by unmasked people, who is living in fear?

Yeah maybe you wear a mask because you know how viruses work and you are informed about the prevalence of disease in your environment 🤔

Raincoats must mean you're terrified of hurricanes!
