That is my experience too. The younger ones wear their bare face like a badge of honor and are so proud of the fact that they look invincible. To me, it just shows their ignorance of the fact that they can be spreading the virus and not even know it. These people seem to be ignorant of the fact that presymptomatic and asymptomatic transmission is a huge problem with this virus which is why the virus is spreading like wildfire. They seem to be ignorant to the fact that a cloth or surgical mask will block the droplets that contain the virus. Either these people are ignorant of these facts or they are just defiant. Take your pick. Either one is not a good look.
I would like to add that I do not believe any of the statistics that are "out there". I just don't. I've been reading about people that were not actually tested (they left before their test was actually performed) and they received their positive results a few days later. There is something seriously wrong with the test data reporting.
What I'm seeing is the health care professionals being stressed to their limits in hot spot cities. I'm seeing refrigerated trucks filling up with dead bodies. I don't ever recall hearing about all these trucks holding dead bodies during the worst flu season. It is getting scary out there and we need to do something and it needs to be done now.
Wear the mask and slow the spread. Keep your distance and don't touch your face when your hands are not freshly washed.
