Why are you still wearing a mask...wrong? - eviltoast

All the time I have people come in to work wearing a mask, which is fine normally, good for them, but they are wearing them on their chin, chin diaper style. Not covering up anything. Or at best just their mouth, sometimes. Nobody is making these people wear a mask anymore, so why are they doing it at all if they are just going to do it wrong? Is it an attempt at a political statement? A lack of education? I end up baffled for a while every time I see one of these people.

    COVID can, and does, kill us.

    Look, I get it, but there’s a big difference between a hundred thousand deaths per day and a couple hundred deaths per day which is where we are now with covid (according to the WHO).

    Covid is nowhere near the highest risk anymore, even people who are especially vulnerable to it are far more likely to be killed by something else.

    Doesn’t mean covid should be ignored but the precautions we took in recent years just aren’t necessary right now.
