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.
