Just an observation of this post. I think "obsession" might not be quite right here. People are "obsessed" with dogs, pickle ball, golf, etc. But not everyone with a dog or plays pickle ball or golf is obsessed. Not everyone shares your belief that everything is great and masks are useless. There is a lot of contradictory information and opinions going around right now. I'm guessing you may have noticed this. With this in mind, perhaps you may be able to understand why someone might want to try to lessen their sharing of potentially harmful droplets from sneezing, coughing or even talking.
As to your statement that masks don't keep you from getting anything, I might offer that, depending on what mask one uses, it may keep you from getting a snoot full of pollen, a mouthful of love bugs, and may even lessen the degree to which one may be exposed to any number of potentially harmful particles, chemicals, germs and bacteria.
Things are not normal right now and a lot of folks are stressed for any number of reasons. I would like to suggest that we all show a little compassion for each other and try to be a less judgmental.
