...namely, "just let it wash over them." It's the lazy way for some; for others, they've tuned out the reality. A lot are assuming that because it hasn't hit them yet, it never will. For still others, it's all about the machismo.
Not just making this up; my co-workers at the airport exemplify these attitudes. Masks are required in all areas accessible to the passengers (violations are punishable by stiff fines), but a lot of clowns seem to think COVID-19 can't pass through security so once they're through the door the masks come off. And fuck, are they smug about it.
Heard someone--a union shop steward, you'd be astonished at how many of 'em are trumpkins--popping off that masks leave you "breathing nothing but recycled air," which is such ignorant horseshit that I can't imagine how he ties his shoelaces. One of his friends was regurgitating nonsense about Bill Gates wanting to implant tracking chips via vaccines (which he was reading off of a cellphone that gives his location to any authority who wants it). Utterly certain of his superior intelligence, he smirks at me for wearing; Pence said it would be over by Memorial Day weekend and that's what he wants to believe, therefore it is true and only "cucks" give a shit about other people.
Mention South Korea, or the study that projected that this would be over if everyone just wore a mask...and they just let that "wash over them" too. Nothing's going to get through to them until they've got a tube down their throat or they're burying someone they love.
