In the airports I see even more people wearing them but in the cities a lot of mainly women - older white women, black women any age and young blue haired women mostly but I’m noticing a trend

I have been seeing a lot more lately too. But mostly old white men.
Could be they have other issues, as many of them have seemed to be a bit frail. Also some younger males. 20ish looking. Also mostly not physically fit looking guys really. Not obeses, but the physique of someone who spends too much time playing video or computer games. |

Was in Boston a few days last week, probably saw more people wearing masks in three days than I do in three months around here.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RealityCheck0311: Lot of people have been wearing masks in cities well before Covid. A lot of it had to do with living in areas with high population density and trying not to get sick (or if you're sick, trying not to get others sick). One of my friends has a compromised immune system and was bitching about people coughing away in shopping aisles way back in the 90s. She would always go out with a mask on. If you ever spent time in Japan or China in the 90s or 00s, you would see people wearing masks everywhere. Yes, I'm sure there is still a few covid morons out there but feel like you're only noticing it now because the topic has been so politicized. Pre-covid, I only saw the occasional mask wearing Asian in big cities. Not nearly what I see now. And I traveled 2-3 times a month. LA, SF, Chicago, NYC, etc. |

I haven’t seen a general uptick. I did see someone today wearing a mask who doesn’t usually, but that’s because she was sick last week. That may be a cultural change, only Asians used to do that.

In my AO they haven't gone away for older asian and black folk (30-40% from what I've seen), the purple haired folks and the crazies. On my last trip, to find my gate, I followed the purple haired and masked up people.

So far several people are posting pollen in replies Presidential election season. Wearing a mask during the 2020 election was a sign of support for Biden. In Texas the Democrat controlled counties put draconian measures in place the Republican counties didn’t do much at all. Because of this the State of Texas took away the authority in the emergency management chain of authority for county health officials to deviate from the Texas State plans. |

A 70ish white lady walking into Aldi with a mask AND a full face shield. My thought is if you have reason for that level of concern I'm not going to question it, but why the hell don't you just get curbside pickup? A 20ish African American male walking down a sidewalk by himself

It’s like when UGG boots became popular not just with girls at the beach I started noticing women everywhere wearing them after a decade of only seeing chicks at the beach wearing them Maybe people are wearing masks again as part of a plan to desensitize people to mask wearing for hiding your identity. These people think of these things and plan much better than we do. Notice that once Biden became president. All these riots suddenly stopped and nobody ever asked the question who delivered pallets of bricks and rocks to these riot areas who paid for occupied Wall Street, etc., conveniently masks hide peoples identities. I think as peoples anxiety levels rise their fear of things like germs does too. I noticed anxious people in the morning at Costco wearing masks and I always see Asian people wearing masks. I think that’s probably because a lot of Asia is dirty and there are lots of germs and illnesses there. I’ve also seen Asian people take a lot of shit to the extreme. There’s an elderly Asian couple. They’re both professors that live down the street from me. They’ve only spoken to their children through a window on the side of their house for the past few years they get shit delivered from Amazon. They leave they bring it in wearing mask and gloves and apparently they leave it in a room in their house for a day for germs to die off before they open It, some people are crazy |

The only time I wore a mask during covid was that trip to Iceland and a trip to Ireland, both in 2020, and when I'd go to the grocery store (their rules) I'd get the stink eye in town (small Socal mountain town) but I didn't have the fear. The local bar even papered their windows and turned it into a speakeasy. Only the elderly are wearing masks these days. |
