Whether it’s for work or when your going out or whatever? It seems most people don’t now, but I’ve seen some places still have them. Kinda weird cuz it’s not like COVID’s gone. I still wear a mask but I’m the only person that does at my workplace and it’s kinda awkward tbh.
I masked rigorously as did most of my collegues working to accomodate the increase in people ordering shit online in 2020, an extrordinarily shitty time to do that job. Wasn’t doing anything besides work, wasn’t seeing anybody. Caught it relatively quick, at work. Caught it again later, also at work.
I think masks are effective, but they aren’t so effective as you make it seem. Probably you just have a job that lets you stay home and that is why you didn’t catch it. And I don’t agree with blaming the sick when they get sick during a plague, I am sure your dad and all his friends are huge assholes, but its a plague. People get sick!
Were either of these two statements correct?
-
People took off their masks in the break room to eat lunch, or similar.
-
Most people were wearing cloth masks or loose surgical masks.
Those would explain why they had limited effectiveness. For a mask to work reliably it has to fit and filter properly - this is how many doctors can work in plague conditions and not get sick (unless they’re unlucky when changing masks/eating lunch/they get germs on their hands and touch their eyes/etc.). Unfortunately, the people in charge did a very bad job of explaining this and making good masks available.
