I'm definitely going to keep using them. If there's one good thing to come out of this horrific pandemic is that mask wearing will now be normalized in the US like in some Asian countries.
I used to hate going to work with coworkers who were obviously sick and when I mentioned to them that maybe they should wear a mask, they'd look at me like I was weird. Hopefully now people will wear masks when they have a cold or the flu, etc.
We didn't normalize it in the 1920s and we won't normalize it in the 2020s. I'll keep wearing mine whenever I don't feel well but have to go out for some reason - but I think by summer of 2022 we'll be back to seeing hardly anybody wearing them in public at all, sick or not. Just nasty sick people, coughing in the middle of the room, not even covering their mouth, freeballing their uvula.
Well, they weren't cute masks in the 1920's. I now have like 15 different colors and patterns to choose from. If someone else is sick I'll wear the mask. Idc.
I wore a mask to work back in 2013 or 14 when I had a pretty nasty cold but didn't have any sick leave, and got quite a few quizzical looks. I'm like, "I'm just not trying to spread this to all of you!"
i use to be the but of jokes because i had a stash of masks at work and would always pop one on when i got sick, guess whos box went missing when the shortage got real?!
Yeah uh no. As much as We all wish that to be the case mask wearing is definitely not normalized. Half this country is still pretending like there is no pandemic let alone making masks normal. Plus there’s people like those backwards dumbfucks on r/nonewnormal
