Masks don't fucking work. I live in a far off country where people were afraid of previous outbreaks of other stuff to the point that even up to covid-19, it's not unusual to see people wearing a mask when they go out. The previous scare was SARS, so, expect people to wear masks for the next 20+ years at least.
What really happened is that people now think that if they're sick it's fine to go out as long as they wear a mask. I had two masked people sit next to me right before an international flight back to the US before, and since I wouldn't have any insurance in the US and doctors are fucking expensive there ($10 to see a doctor WITHOUT insurance here, medicine included) I asked them to not sit so close to me.
They happily said "it's okay, we're wearing masks!"
The next day, I had a cold! Yay for masks! They work so well!

Well that's really, REALLY interesting..... that's one of the first things I thought of when the whole mask thing first started about a year ago is how common it is / has been in many asian countries.
Glad to know that they've literally been wearing masks for no benefit whatsoever.....
Sheesh.......Sheep!
The real problem over here is that people don't wash their hands. There's usually no soap (or toilet paper. That's fun) in bathrooms because people assume people will just steal such things. No public trash cans either because they claim people will just dump all their trash from their house there.
So, people have dirty hands and go out sick because they wore a mask, and that makes everything okay.
A lot of people here just wear masks preventatively too, especially on trains and in crowded places. Pre-covid.
For a while masks seemed to be mostly gone but as of a couple months ago they're back in full force with government mandates and everything.
