It’s very melodramatic. Either wear the mask and do whatever you had planned or don’t wear the mask and do something else. Why the author would think anyone would care, why any editor would think this is worth publishing, etc is baffling.

And yes, masks are laughably ineffective unless it’s something like a KN95 or N95. At least countries with wide access to those masks fared much better than ill-equipped populations like the US and UK during the same periods, and with neighbouring countries as well. I still wear them because it makes stealing a breeze.

:proletariat:

“But in a moment of decision when convenience and conviction collided, I chose the former.”

It’s like finding out that westerners are treat-obsessed little piggies whose values are simply affectations that they abandon easily if they cause them any kind of discomfort no matter how mild, but from the right rather than the left. On the one hand I appreciate the honesty, but on the other hand it won’t save you from the revolutionary armies. Extremely hilarious and I would happily throw this person into a woodchipper.

I wish the author of this a very explode

This woman should be shot.
