They are everywhere, and most of them are not elderly, obese, or suffering from compromised immune systems. They never needed the face masks they wear, as most human beings never needed the COVID-19 masks they wore.

For the elderly, obese, or immunocompromised, we say, go ahead, continue to wear the mask. Doing so might save you from the coronavirus. It might also save you from becoming a flu death statistic.

Those among us who are perfectly healthy and remain dutifully masked despite the general lifting of mask mandates are making a political statement. For them, the masks meant something they continue to hold dear, cannot relinquish.

Walked into a bar the other day.

Mask mandates have been lifted. Nobody was wearing a mask.

Except the bartender. I know the girl too.

Kinda felt weird when she was talking to me. I kept on talking to her, but all I could think was you're wearing a cheap piece of plastic fiber around your mouth, and you can't be realistically worried anymore, so why are you wearing it?

What's going on inside your head?

It's odd being in public spaces like restaurants where some of the staff still wear masks others don't.
