I see the opposite, younger people are wearing them more because its trendy
like wearing pokemon. 50 plus seem to be less likely to wear them. Older
women without tend to have smoker skin, probably figuring the Rona is less
concerning than the probable lung cancer growing in their chests. Old
farmers (most of the old men around here) run about 90 percent without
masks. They probably figure if 50 years of inhaling pesticides and
herbicides didnt kill them, some chinese flu wont get them, probably on a
related note, they likely killed a bunch of koreans and Japanese in various
wars and assume that means they can beat anything china throws at them.
The worst maskers are the young females, they will follow people around
talking about how the person in front doesn't have a mask on, oblivious to
the fact that if their religion of masks is true, they're getting super
exposed to the germs from the person they're following around, to ignorant
to "listen to the science" that says masks are to stop the wearer from
spreading and have little to no bearing on stopping the wearer from
catching it. Probably explains why so many 20 something females keep coming
up positive.
This trend will pass like bedazzling did and the youth maskers will fade
out.
I wear my mask everywhere I go, in my pocket.
80 percent of people may have a mask on, but they might as well have it in
their pocket too since they're not wearing them correctly.
