Pretty sure my kid doesn't spend her life driving.

Regardless, what a weird, dismissive comment.

Asian people wear masks all the time, have for years, are fine, and in this particular case think you have a death wish for not wanting to do it all the time.

Death wish? When I am triple vaccinated? That's ridiculously out of whack with reality.

I'm at about the 99 percentile being safe and cautious. Talk to the anti-vaxxers about death wishes, that isn't me.

What you seem to be advocating is that we all wear masks continuously, forever. Because this isn't going away, it can barely be slowed down with masks, and it has become non-deadly for the vaccinated.

And I don't buy it for a second that everyone has to be masked or that you can't even eat in a restaurant in Asia. That is how it is here. Masks made sense for a long time, but at this point they are no more useful than they'll be a few years from now.

Does "Asian" here mean Japan in particular all the time, and parts of China sometimes?

Japan whenever they have allergies, celebrities whenever they go outside, and China much of the last two years whenever they get told to.
