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.
Can anyone show you scientific actual proof that those masks work outside? That would be my first question. Even the CDC has said you can't catch the china virus in passing out in the fresh air. I'm here in the States, and I see people driving around with masks on in their cars by themselves. I really want to pull up next to one and ask, who exactly are you protecting yourself from?
