Societal norms change. They are changing as I type. You can continue to wear your pantaloons from the 17th century, or put on a pair of jeans in the 21st century. And imagine, not more than 3 decades ago, people were wearing acid wash jeans. And, I see now that ripped jeans are back in style again. Who knows, maybe pantaloons will come back into fashion, and you can laugh about it as you stroll down Main St. in your pantaloons with everyone else who just also happen to be wearing face masks.

I always used to find it a little odd when the occasional (typically Japanese) person would be walking around with a protective mask on, but it never would have occurred to me to ridicule them; hey, maybe they have a compromised immune system, or who knows. Actually, I've gained a retroactive respect for them, noticing that I haven't caught a flu since I started masking (and so on) due to Covid. These people in cars wearing a mask? Maybe they're an Uber driver, or they borrowed the car. Or maybe these people are obsessive-compulsive, but whatever, not my business.
I would like to see the popular standard on masking (among other things) to lighten up quite a bit, whenever that becomes moderately appropriate. I want to appear courteous, but doing runs with a bandana over my airway is getting really old. And I want to see four butts in a quad seat next season when I'm in a lift line.

I wear a mask in my car because it's easier than cleaning out the rotting food and dead animals from under the seats.

Don’t worry, this isn’t a thing. I live in one of the most liberal mask compliant cities in the country. I’ve never seen this behavior.
There is no “entire populace” who is wearing masks everywhere all the time. 99% of people are wearing them appropriately, taking them off when not around others and are ready to be rid of the things as much as anyone.
The others seem to just put the thing on once and don’t want to deal with taking it on and off repeatedly.
Skiing with a mask has to be the most obvious place where this makes sense. Helmet, hat, etc conflicts with donning and doffing, so just leave it on.
Widespread mysophopia is just laughable.
(Anyways, CDC said they are evaluating their guidance on wearing a mask outside. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it changed greatly.)

Is HBM’s concern really about widespread persistent germaphobia in society (quit trying to impress by using the other term) or is it more about virtue signaling and mental masturbation to his own ultrarighteous pseudointellectual “I’m not afraid” self talk?

If I can reduce my chances of getting the flu (Regular influenza) just by wearing a mask when in crowded places, washing my hands more and giving people a bit more room, I am down with that 100%.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey
I know a bunch of far left “plandemic” types who believe the vax is either going to cause massive organ failure or a money grab by big pharma. The left in this country has just as many wackaddoles. You just don’t read about it as much.
To be clear, I do not agree with MTT assessment of the underground party scene and kids getting sick and recovering made up shit. He just made that story up while sitting in his half rebuilt trailer kicking back a few I would assume.

well I'm very sure there are anti vax lefties up narth in Canada eh, but what we don't have up here are Republicans
So 40% of a very large group of people who worship an orange bobble head refusing to Vax on political grounds
so I think it would be interesting to view the stats on who vaxxed narth vs south ect
but from the news it ain't looking good for America getting shots in enough armsLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I had to re read this one. Well done. You dismissed the activities of a group you no nothing about and managed to attack the poster on a personal level to further discredit the narrative.
Bravo.
And those news videos showing hundreds partying in the big ass house. Only time that happened.
Anyway it's all so last month. Cuz shit is open now

Throw on to the fact that republicans politicians are actively discouraging people getting the vaccine all in a cynical play to potentially benefit them in the mid terms. The GOP is so morally corrupt it’s mind boggling and there’s so many idiots in this country. Were actively trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Duh.
Regular Exercise May Help Protect Against Severe Covid https://nyti.ms/3uPTkaq
More exercise means less risk of developing severe Covid, according to a compelling new study of physical activity and coronavirus hospitalizations. The study, which involved almost 50,000 Californians who developed Covid, found that those who had been the most active before falling ill were the least likely to be hospitalized or die as a result of their illness.
The data were gathered before Covid vaccines became available and do not suggest that exercise can substitute in any way for immunization. But they do intimate that regular exercise — whether it’s going for a swim, walk, run or bike ride — can substantially lower our chances of becoming seriously ill if we do become infected.

Curious to hear what the medical/science brain trust here thinks of this (not covid related):
