They are showing that they care deeply.

They might care deeply about themselves but need some more education....fabric masks don't provide adequate protection. Maybe they are misinformed ?

Mostly but there was some going in stores and a school. I just find it interesting. It was a mom and a kid who looked about 4 or 5.

It's been a cultural thing from long before Covid, to mask in public when sick to help prevent spreading whatever to others. Practiced by people from many Asian countries. It's a respect thing. Funny how nobody attempted to ridicule them (or question their motives) prior to Covid and so many were brainwashed into believing it's political or whatever.

I also saw someone driving alone in their car yesterday w/mask on. I could understand why during the height of the pandemic why they might do this...maybe they are going down the street and don't want to re mask at their next stop but I haven't really been hearing about any upticks in cases lately so it's strange.



I was also at the UPS store this week and the line was like 7 people deep at around 11 o'clock. Very crowded for a small store and it's not even down to the wire as far as shipping times yet for Xmas so I don't really get why it was so busy. No one had a mask on in there so if I do get covid I'll blame it on going in that store!

I see more Caucasians wearing masks than Asians. Grant it there are more Caucasians in the United States . There are still alot of Asians in this area. I think the Caucasians that wear them are more fanatical than the Asians. In the grocery store I see workers with masks usually young people and some with gloves on. Wearing the gloves is on another level . COVID is a respiratory virus it's not on surfaces. They are going to do a body cavity search. One time on the bus I saw someone with a mask and plastic helmet with a tube attached. I said no way.they made their own device.

There are tons of Asians that don't wear the mask here. I actually don't see many Asians wearing the mask here.
