If no one else is willing to provide clean air, I need to filter my own. It's bloody ridiculous but what can I do?

Right. Isn't this the situation if you wear a mask? What does this have to do with other people?

My mask protects you, your mask protects me. Three years in I still need to explain this??

You aren’t explaining it, you’re just repeating the same tired informationless phrase we were all subjected to for those ~2.75 years (after they stopped saying masks do nothing)

No, but many of us believe the worlds reaction to COVID-19 was extreme and totally unwarranted (and a bit scary too, considering how basic human freedoms went out the window in so many countries)

A million americans died and you think the reaction was extreme?? What we know worldwide is at least 18 million excess Covid deaths and at least 65 million people with Long Covid. The entire Western world has completely failed in its COVID-19 response. If you think this was extreme, you are being gaslit. Too little was done and way too late. Communication and leadership complete failed.

There is a lot of money going into making you believe what you believe. Next time maybe there won't be lockdowns because of this campaign currently being wrought and then many more millions will die. Someone will win perhaps but guess who. Hint: it ain't you.

Actually I accept that theee are risks to life. I am not being gaslit - I take freedom seriously.

Ah yes, muh freedoms!

And where is my freedom? Where is my freedom to live and not breath in your infected droplets?

So wear two masks.

That's not an explanation. If you wear a mask, you're protecting yourself. You can even wear a more comfortable mask with a vent, which became anathema due to your "explanation".

give me a break. Yes wearing a mask helps me as well but nowhere near as if you were doing it.

Don't make me link the pee meme.

Sorry not as plugged into memeworld as you so don't know WTF this is.

Us both wearing masks protects you as much as you wearing two masks. But even better, you can just wear an N99 or N100. Also you should consider P95 or Pxx because of the much nicer seal.

I don't understand why you need to get other people involved in this simple thing you can do yourself.
