Given that the unmasked vastly outnumber the masked it's not for social approval. I still mask (N95) in places because I haven't been sick since 2019 and it makes me happy. There's very few people left who mask. The social pressure is very much to take off the mask.
- pfannkuchen 3y agoYeah, simply “social approval” isn’t the right way to put it. What I mean is more nuanced - a feeling of “doing the right thing” and demonstrating that one is “doing the right thing”, as conditioned by one’s own social circle.

- hn976827 3y agoI went by car through town today, own car, masked up since my gf was also in my car (also masked up), while she has a cold. The looks we got for this were ridiculous. We've isolated that way many times bow when one of us had a cold and it's working wonders and gives us a chance to go to places together despite one having a cold.
