every few days the horror strikes me: Americans are so wedded to their identities, certainties, and conveniences they won’t do a near-zero-cost minor annoyance thing like wear masks that could potentially save tens of thousands of lives...
you don’t need 100% certainty that it is effective... this is so cheap, the potential upside so high, and the downside so trivial, you should do it even if it’s only 1%
the dissonance is appalling... 20% of reported deaths from 4% of the world’s population... you should be willing to do any no-cost thing with even the slightest chance of helping
Florida and Texas are especially appalling. They SAW the disaster unfold in New York. Do they hate liberals so much they’ll kill themselves out of spite rather than learn a sobering lesson and act?
This is mostly, but not entirely, a red state thing. I do see a lot of non masking here in LA including among minorities. All of the US is a bit trumpie in this.
There’s also a Hobbesian streak in the US. The idea that some ongoing culling of the weak is a good thing. It’s not exactly eugenics or racism (though those sensibilities are present too at the margins) but a frontier morality. Comes from the same place as the gun fetish.
Think of it like reverse-smoking. You can't convince with them with reason.

I keep almost fainting everytime I go out with a mask for more than an hour. I end up overheating and struggling to breath. I still wear it, but I can understand why people would not want to. Been worried my GF will get heartattack because of hers. :(
Just sitting with a mask for more than an hour and my heart rate skyrockets (fitbit). I think i'm more sensitive to CO2 than other people. There seems to be some evidence of this in literaturehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7087880/ …
