(48,473 posts)Many Asian Americans wore masks regularly when out in public. For some people it is a protection from all kinds of infectious diseases and/or pollution. Because of a year wearing masks and social distancing, a lot of people say they've gotten fewer colds and the flu.
As for Bill Maher, he has been a bit skeptical about the pandemic from the beginning. Sometimes it felt like he was living in a bubble.
I still watch his show most of the time, but I do get angry at him more often these days. This was especially true with his dismissive attitude towards Joe Biden. He even inferred that Biden was too old and feeble for the job. I kept watching so I could see the moment(s) when he finally acknowledged we elected the right person and that he is doing an excellent job. Maher still doesn't seem totally onboard with this administration, but he has begrudgingly admitted that things are much better. I often wonder, "Well Bill, who the hell do you think would have been a better choice?" I can't even remember him showing much support for any Democrat candidate.
