Putting the policing on others seems right, + low likelihood of actual policing, from what i've seen at school & in stores. Like going 5 or 10 miles over the speed limit.

thing is there has (at least in canada) been pretty consistent messaging: • if your mask doesn't cover your nose it's as if you aren't wearing one • masks outside macht nichts (unless exceptionally crowded) and yet you see people walking around outside, with masks, nose out

When I see that i assume they're taking a break from the mask & prefer to hold it on their chin rather than pull it all the way off and on again. The being outside part make me think it's not about rebelling.

Whether to mask is even touchier recently, but I'm curious about folks who seemed satisfied to mask *usually,* but take indoor nose masking breaks, or pull them down for pics, to talk on the phone..how are they weighing risks? is it worth nudging for more masking? if so, how?

Mask use correlates to some things, but getting at mechanisms would be fun. And if you live in a place that's been hard hit but you don't feel that compelled to mask personally, could a chin strap be more a nod to social norms than rebellion against them?

interestingly masking norms in ontario appear a lot more stringent than bc (and the latter has the famous public health officer), which is why i said i was baffled because people are clearly serious about wearing them but continue to wear them wrong also nose out ≠ chin strap

i can understand chin strap as a result of not wanting to take it completely off when walking around outside, but i have trouble buying the narrative of nominal compliance/externalizing policing for nose-out; at least for most of them
