No, I like doing what makes sense based on the information I have to the best of my ability. At the beginning that was an assessment of claims about mask supply being based purely in fear and unconnected to any ongoing issues. The hospital isn't buying masks from the grocery store. Everyone buying packs of n95 on amazon ought to exhaust the same supply chains the hospitals use, but thats irrelevant if the threat is real, since the supply would (and did) simply ramp up to match demand. Time goes on and the reality of the virus sets in, I have friends who get it, a number of elderly people I know some quickly trying to follow CDC and WHO guidelines to a T, others saying it doesn't add up and they'll go about their life as afraid of it as they are of a cold or flu. And so more time goes on and I'm checking in with these people, those who got covid, it certainly wasn't pleasant but they never complained about symptoms that were anything more than typical of getting sick, and the elderly people I know, those who are all about following the rules to the T, seem to be full of anxiety about it and declining in (primarily mental) health as a result. Wheres the others not believing in it as much (one lady I know strongly anti-mask, another just sort of blase about it) seem to be enjoying their lives day to day far more. So thats some of where I'm coming from.
