Most here (including me) are well past doing the mask thing. Pretty well confirmed that masks do not help against the virus. HOWEVER my wife is very sensitive to pollen and the allergies really mess with her sinuses and throat. As a singer, this is doubly bad. So she wears a mask outside and has far fewer symptoms. Please do not assume that she is a Karen - she needs the mask so she can avoid the allergens.

My question is this. Was she wearing the mask for pollens before Covid?
Bingo. If masks worked so well for things such as flu, allergies, etc...why werent we told to wear them pre covid??
smh...
The only place I know where people wore masks before the pandemic is in Japan. The only time people wear them is if they were personally sick. So they wouldn’t spread their germs on others. That’s it. Once they felt better they stop wearing the masks.
Could she have? Would she have been allowed to?
I kind of like being able to stay somewhat anonymous in public. I like knowing that my face isn’t showing up on doorbell cameras and traffic cameras and so forth.
I can’t think of anywhere in the pre-COVID US where someone could get away with wearing a mask in public without the police getting called on them within a few hours.
I get why Q people are rebelling against the notion of being told what to do, but I’ve always found it a little peculiar that you can now wear a mask in a police station or government office, and the biggest critics of this are the people who identify as “anons.”
I’m an anon who likes anonymity. Security is about layers. If I’m allowed to throw on a mask in public, that’s an additional layer of security I can enjoy.
Not every public action can be boiled down to one of two political motivations.
So what are you trying to say that you were a mask for anonymity in public?
Yep. Nobody has a right to see my mouth just because we’re sharing a public space. I don’t have to pretend to smile at people just for social niceties. I don’t have to be easily recognized by people I don’t feel like talking to.
Honestly, I kind of like being left alone in public. The mask gives me a little bit more control over that. It’s not much, but it costs me nothing and wearing a mask for hours doesn't bother me.
Wow how sad. So you hate your face, you don’t want people looking at you, and you don’t want to interact with other human beings. Got it. Sounds like you have autism or agoraphobia. You were made in the image of God, and you’re ashamed of it. This is what this pandemic has done to people. Actually led them to believe that they feel safer with their face covered like a slave with a cock muzzle. How sad is that !
