36. Yes, but I'm usually the only one

Thu Jul 21, 2022, 07:20 PM

Jul 2022

I’m usually the only one wearing one.

We flew to NYC last weekend. Our family were the only masked people on 4 full flights. And we looked to be the only masked people in a broadway theater.

Doing shopping today, I didn’t see a single other mask.

People are just unwilling to bear even the mildest inconvenience to help their community/fellow people.
