So over this weekend I noticed a few Karens not wearing masks. I did ask a couple in a casual way why they weren't, all had the same excuse, 'asthma'. I have asthma, and it can get bad at times, enough to need the rescue inhaler. Either way, a mask has zero affect on asthma. Zero. Like, literally nothing. I would understand COPD -- though those folks usually have a medical assistance device with them. I did notice a couple men not wearing masks properly, only covering their mouth.
I think we might have to do a better job to educate people why we wear masks -- not to protect ourselves, but to protect others. I saw a really good illustration explaining it. It was 3 picture outlines of 2 men. Picture one, neither men dressed, and the one guy pisses on the other guy. The other guy gets wet. Second picture. the "other guy" is wearing clothing, while the naked guy pisses on him. The 'other guy' has some protection, but likely might get a little wet. The third picture the pissing guy is wearing clothing, and the clothing contains the piss entirely, so the other guy stays completely dry, regardless if he's dressed or not.
