I work in South Korea. Everyone here wears masks even when they are outside. I've seen joggers running with masks. It's crazy. You can sit inside a coffee shop without one, but God forbid you get seen outdoors without one. It's the most insane version of group think I've ever seen. My boss' dad was a politician, she knows how they can lie and previously I appreciated her level of critical thinking. But now... I refuse to wear a mask outside. She saw me on the street and asked me to put it on. i refused. I was reamed out for being unscientific and reckless. I didn't budge. Even if I thought masks work, I do not see the benefit of wearing one 24/7.
Just needed to vent a little. I'm leaving Korea soon, so quiting my job atm is not an option. Like I said, just needed to vent.
My question is, if it was really important to wear a mask-why aren’t they distributing the N95 ones? You can wear a crappy homemade one, garbage made in sweat shops, mesh, whatever but if they were really concerned about your health, they’d be handing out good ones. They’ve had plenty of time to catch up and make them. We’ve caught up on TP. That’s what I can’t understand about Fauc i. Two masks? Three? Why not distribute good ones that might actually do something? They’re not, so we know it’s all a lie.
