If they’re wearing a mask aren’t they protected from my spitting? CDC has basically ruled out cross-contamination on surfaces and says transmission is aerosol.
Before Covid, people with compromised immune systems wore masks. Not their family, friends and neighbors. I don’t buy that you wearing a mask reduces my risk.
If I want to be safe I should wear a mask, not force you too. And if I’m worried about bringing it home to compromised family I should’ve taken a LOA.
I flew with one guy who wore it the whole time and he was very clear that he was all in on the social aspects of it. He was a complete virtue signaler.
I wear a mask where it’s policy, because a business or employer has the right to establish that policy. But it’s turned into a more of a social supremacy facade than a common sense practice.
