we are very screwed, in large part because of people like you, enthusiastically volunteering to help with propaganda in support of corporate real estate and retail tycoons.

you could be part of the solution by wearing a mask.

perhaps research the effects of repeated COVID infections on otherwise-fine people, reconsider how transmission and probability works ("oh, there's no point using condoms, anyone I have any kind of sex with is likely to get HIV from someone else"), and try and imagine how you'd feel if you or someone you care about had an immune system disorder and couldn't safely go outside in your area because of healthier people who prioritise their comfort in not wearing a small piece of cloth on their faces

Where in the hell did you get that from? What does anything I said have to do with real estate?

Me being the only person wearing a mask isn't going to help solve anything.

Did you seriously just compare a bad flu virus to HIV? You are just being ridiculous now.

Do you think it's safe outside for an immune compromised person if im the only one wearing a mask? No, obviously it's not. Me staying a mask is going to have no effect on their safety in public. If I went over to this person's house, sure, I would wear a mask if they wanted me to, but in public where nobody is wearing one it's kinda pointless.
