    I am one of the only people here that still wears a mask at the doctor. Even most of the doctors stopped wearing them (what the hell! thats where the sick and immunocompromised are most likely to be in the same building!)

      It doesn’t make you feel a bit better about not wearing one that most doctors aren’t? If they think the risk is so low, or that continuous mask wearage is more detrimental than covid?

        No it does not make me feel better that people that should know better than to not wear a mask in an environment full of sick and immunocompromised people are not wearing masks. And no wearing a mask is not worse than covid holy shit.

          There’s nuance there that you’re skipping right over. Continuous mask wearing is detrimental, it has negative consequences.

            You can’t hide “masks are worse than covid” anywhere in that slight shade of nuance.

              The detriment as a whole, over a lifespan is where the nuance lies. It’s okay though, this kind of actual thinking over knee-jerk response is hard. I understand if you can’t bring yourself to do that.
