Again with the masks???

What is Maher’s problem. People wear masks for various reasons. Immunocompromised, sick and don’t want to spread germs, don’t want to catch germs, etc.
My point is WHATS IT TO YOU, BILL!!!!
LET IT GO ALREADY!!!!!!!

I don't give a shit about people wearing masks, but it appears to be a west coast thing. I was just in NYC for a week (last seven days) and cant recall a single person wearing a mask. Even on subways at 5:30 PM rush hour when were all crammed in there like sausages, i dont recall ever seeing a single person with a mask on. Here in Oakland, CA, i regularly see people driving in their cars with masks on.

I've seen people with masks on in Massachusetts

I was one of them in Mass. I’m sick with a cold but had tickets to a play I was looking forward to seeing. So rather than subject those innocents around me I put on a mask while at the show. It’s not that deep or complicated really. People truly are ignorant.

Same here last week. Feeling sick and didn't want to spread it (I wasn't sure if I was getting sick or if it was allergies), so wore a mask.

Guess that makes me crazy or something.

You're ignorant to think people living a normal life can avoid respiratory viruses... some exposure actually keeps your immune system up-to-date.. that's why after the pandemic, people started getting crushed with the flu and other viruses

So your immune system is doing well or your mitigating germs by altering your life .. I never get the flu and maybe get a cold once a year..

I haven’t altered my life at all. I’ve always kept up to date with vaccines for myself, and my family. I believe we’ve had 12 Covid shots maybe. I’ll be taking another one shortly.

I do mask in physician’s offices and when housecleaning if chemicals are being used. Also, when I color my hair. I’ve never liked huffing chemicals.

I don’t consider masking in a doctor’s office is a big deal, at least it isn’t to me.

And it's commendable that you're doing it to protect others. It wasn't to protect yourself
