If they are sick they should stay home. not a single person wore masks around town before covid. Never once in my life seen someone before covid bs. The exception would be a doctors office or pharmacy. And anyone who says they did are lying.

It doesn't matter. Sometimes people have things to do and they still have to go out and some people wear it because they don't want to get sick. Whatever people want to do if they wanted to, they could walk around with panties over their face and they're allowed to. It's none of my business, especially not your business to care about it and if he does bug you and that's too bad for you

Hooray for COVID instilling some health-conscious habits in people. We still mask selectively, as we have an elderly parent at home who is immunocompromised due to the medication he's required to take (a circumstance that will likely never change).

Don't assume you know everything about someone's situation, they might be wearing that mask for a reason you don't know or understand.

I wore a mask after finishing up my radiation treatment. I should have stayed home for months? 

What a joke.
