    Will people every stop wearing masks?

    I understand everybody wearing them in hospitals now, for now on. I understand why elderly would wear them.

    But it's weird to see a 20 year old wearing one in public now.

    If they're walking down the street by themselves wearing a mask, I assume it's an anti-social thing, but it's strange to see some 30 year old hipster shopping in the supermarket wearing one. Or someone in the back of a Chipotle, who's not even customer-facing.

    • The whole mask thing is so weird. I wore masks pre-COVID because of all of our smoke storms / airborn allergens. Who cares if somebody wears a mask.garbage
