Pretty interesting article from a psychological point of view.
I put it here, instead of Psychology, because (I guess) masks are controversial today.
There is no reason for controversy because they protect others from droplets. But, I guess that's what we've come to this year

They don't, actually. Here's the "psychology" behind why I don't wear a mask: From day 1, (you can see my posting history), I said this was overblown.
It
is overblown.
*You don't quarantine healthy people.
*You don't make healthy people breathe in their own breath all day while they are out.
*You don't tell me how to take care of myself. I take care of myself.
*Masks are absolutely pointless, mainly because they don't do jack all, mainly because no one is even using them correctly, or have the correct type, but also because stupid mask morons think that they no longer need to leave space between them and others, and even more mainly because people are still out there touching every damn thing they can put their hands on, AFTER twiddling with their contaminated masks, not washing their hands, and spreading their crappy germs all over the place like they have been doing all along. No one can just look with their eyes, they have to touch every damn thing they see.
What people should have done was advocated for people to use disposable gloves when using the gas pump, or going into a store, or touching an ATM, or a card reader at check out, etc.
Instead, they wanted to fight the dumb battle of "muh masks" which they:
a) aren't using any that protect against anything, nor do they protect anyone else
b) don't even use them properly - don't dispose of them after 2 hours or don't wash them in boiling water after every use (fabric masks)
c) keep messing with them while they wear them, and then they want to touch everything they can see after doing so.
Here's all you need to do:
Leave space between you and others. If that means you have to wait to walk down that grocery aisle, OH WELL.
Stop touching everything.
Wash your fricken hands.
If you feel that you need to cough or sneeze, you don't need to dictate to everyone that THEY must wear a mask just because you (general "you") can't be bothered to cover your disgusting nose and mouth, instead, you need to use your sleeve, or a Kleenex, or a handkerchief, and then, go wash your hands, just like your mommy taught you when you were a tiny child.
Don't give me this BS about masks. Don't give me this BS about lock downs.
Big box stores that are crowded all the time are "safe", but small businesses with just a few people in them are "deadly and dangerous!!! shut them down!"? Really? REALLY PEOPLE?
Singing "happy birthday" is "dangerous" because apparently we all speak like Daffy Duck? You buy that BS? REALLY?
The stupid lock down didn't work.
The stupid masks don't work.
People have been locked down, people have been wearing the masks (the majority of people), and yet, we still have "Covid deaths" (allegedly).
What no one ever talks about?
Age of person who died.
The pre-existing conditions of the person who died.
I WONDER WHY THAT IS.
But, sure, a piece of cloth over your face is the armor against this stupid virus.
Let's talk about the psychology of those who are easily fooled by fear, and are getting closer to the front of the line at the slaughter house they're being led to...that's where the real danger lies.
