Attended a food & wine festival that was jam packed with people to the point you could barely take a step in any direction.

About 1% of folks were wearing masks, which I found strange.

They had to remove the mask basically every minute to actually partake in the festival.

Why place yourself in such a situation if you think it's that dangerous?

Why expect intelligence from NPCs? Lol

🤙

Mask wearers are the new mouth breathers…….

Well, like somebody else already said, there’s no logic. NPC behaviour at its best

They are ugly and don't want people to see how ugly they are.

They're virtue signaling, not actually concerned about danger.

Exactly

The ostensible underlying purpose of the signal — keeping safe — is long gone. Only the symbol remains.

They are not thinking.

I see your point, but someone else wearing a mask in public doesn’t harm me in any way.

I can also envision a number of situations where someone may do what you are describing but be immune compromised (from chemo for instance) and simply not want to live their life as a shut in.

A mask, even if improperly worn, still might offer such a person the motivation or (even false) sense of security to get out in the world and experience what little of life they can.

I say more power to them.

Yeah I agree completely. Sometimes it is silly, but then again if someone wants to wear a bucket on their head and walk around it does not affect me in the slightest, I have no reason to care- go for it.

When being under the weather I'd also consider wearing a mask to reduce the risk of infecting others.

why do people wear seatbelts in a car? To reduce the risk that they are willing to take further.

I find it super weird when people wear masks now. Only question I ask is do they have covid? CDC said to wear a mask 5-10 days if in public. Idk

Fear is a powerful tool.

Nothing else can explain it like 👆.

I've noticed over the years that humans can be irrational.

It’s definitely a cultural thing.

It’s either neuroticism or a kind of flag waving. Or perhaps they have a cold and are just being considerate

Because they are sheep
