All the time I have people come in to work wearing a mask, which is fine normally, good for them, but they are wearing them on their chin, chin diaper style. Not covering up anything. Or at best just their mouth, sometimes. Nobody is making these people wear a mask anymore, so why are they doing it at all if they are just going to do it wrong? Is it an attempt at a political statement? A lack of education? I end up baffled for a while every time I see one of these people.

    A lot of misinformation was spread through the course of the pandemic

    Not to mention people making mask-wearing - even the existence of Covid - highly politicized. As though an infectious disease cares who you vote for.

      They think “the gubment” or “libtards” are trying to control them, make them look foolish, and/or force obedience/compliance down on them. In my opinion, it’s mostly projection. Their weird power fantasies make them imagine others are trying to dominate them, when in truth it’s just common sense medical advice.

        I always said, if you went to the dentist and other people were exhaling near your wide open mouth, you’d insist they mask. This is like that but the germs they are exhaling float in the air.
