I've encountered several people who have made it clear they simply don't understand the purpose of masks (to protect OTHERS from the wearer's possibly infectious secretions rather than to protect the wearer from others). Had one guy tell me "wearing a mask makes you sicker!" (????)
They think they're being tough/brave and/or making a political statement.
That's stupidity/ignorance.
Then there are those who just don't care about others; their "freedom" is more important than everybody else's life.
That's just being a jerk.
It'd be nice if we had a president who wasn't setting the example of being BOTH.
