      Tbh I really do hope that after this is all over we follow Asian countries' lead and just normalize wearing a mask on the subway if you're sick or afraid of getting sick What good reason is there not to do it? What pro-social spirit of subway cheer are you trying to preserve

      The situation with masks is weird right now because the pandemic is in progress, masks are suddenly a scarce resource and it's completely reactive--there were a lot of "don't hoard masks" messages early on that turned into "masks are useless/bad; never wear them".

      Yeah it's obviously perverse and violates basic common sense to argue wearing a mask is somehow worse than not wearing one

          It's a more general perversity in a pandemic situation where some form of virtuous behavior involves consuming a limited resource (masks, wipes, delivery slots), so people have to NOT do the virtuous thing to avoid hoarding the virtue for people in more need of it.

          ...tests, particularly. It's one of the most maddening things because we're in a situation where any asymptomatic person could be a spreader, so were resources unlimited we should all be acting like infected people, but we can't because of scarcity.

          The one argument against I think is that a mask can provide a false sense of security leading to more important hygiene rules not being followed.

          Which is honestly exactly equivalent to the argument that seatbelts make drivers overconfident and therefore careless

          I'm not even seriously hearing impaired and not being able to see somebody's lips when they're speaking to me makes it demonstrably harder to understand people.

          Like I'm not saying not wearing masks is unilaterally better but I don't accept that it's some kind of Pascal's Wager situation
