      At what point is it enough to care, when the drawback is literally "wear a tiny scrap of cloth over your face". The ounce of prevention here is so minor. So much less than, idk, "give up your car" or any of the really hard things we're gonna need to consider re: climate change.

      I have a bias here, I guess; I *like* my masks. I bought soft pretty ones on Etsy and they match my clothes and it's like accessorizing. I don't have to "smile" for people or mask my autism face. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mascly

      I find it kind of hard to breathe in the "proper" KN95 masks, so I mostly stick to the cloth-with-filter masks unless I'm in a crowded situation. Which I avoid anyway because I hate crowds. So maybe there's some intolerable aspect of mask wearing that I don't understand. But.

      EVEN IF I found it intolerably uncomfortable, I would do it because I...care about people's kids? Well, no, that's not quite it. I care about society, and that means doing things to protect other people, including kids?

      I don't really "care" about a random kid in a store, but I don't want to be the instrument of her death!! And there are individual kids (my nephews) that I very much care about. I act to protect OTHER kids & hope their adults will act to protect MINE. It's a social contract.

      Plus, I just...don't want a living thing to suffer? I'd wear a mask for the rest of my life if doing so protected dogs and cats from getting sick, let alone HUMAN CHILDREN. Like!! Like?? Like!!

      This isn't something hard like "maybe you can't own 72 guns anymore". It's a tiny scrap of cloth. And our #GovernorNero made it illegal for public schools to require them. Even of adults! Even if you were worried a mask would harm kids, we could require adults wear them! But no.

      I'm just. I'm feverish and really worried by how many adults are like "eh, 400 dead kids and full pediatric units? Burned out doctors and nurses and morticians from handing dead babies? Wake me when it's a REAL emergency."

      It's almost tragically cute now how Disease Apocalypse fiction had people taking it seriously and grieving collectively. Instead I guess we'd have Twitter accounts going "why should any average American without comorbidities CARE about the zombie plague / gender plague?"

      Yeah, it's true. The very first scene in the first movie was one of the rules, "Cardio," in which the "first to get eaten" were the "fatties." I still found the movies pretty funny, but that was mainly because of Woody Harrelson playing Tallahassee.

          Woody was really the only good thing about that movie, I agree.
