I caught Covid early last week. My doctor, citing CDC guidelines said I should isolate at home for 5 days after which I can leave my apartment -- but that I should wear a mask for an additional 5 days if going into a store for example. My isolation period ended and now I'm in the masking stage when I have to get groceries.
My point is, the person wearing a mask that some of you are laughing at and/or enraged over might be a person who is actually trying to protect you from their own recent infection.
After I'm done with the 5 days of masking I probably will not wear one again as I'm not really worried about Covid personally.

I live outside of NYC. So many people are infected with COVID again. Its all over. ALL of the people I know who currently have it are either boosted or double boosted and still wearing masks when they caught it...…
Imagine 3 years ago, reading something like what you wrote. What would you think about the person writing it?
Three years ago I did see the occasional person wearing a mask, but they were mostly of east Asian descent. I just thought it was polite of them. The rude folk were those who just sneezed and didn't even bother covering their mouths. If medical mask wearing becomes more acceptable now, I'm fine with that.
I work in a hospital. At NO point were we 'overwhelmed.' I know folks that work in other hospitals. At NO point were they 'overwhelmed.' Put down the CNN and MSNBC. It's bad for you.
I was in the ER of my hospital for 2 days listening to someone dying from Covid on the other side of the wall. Well probably. He was a big guy, and was going to get intubated, so...ouch. best of luck.
Why was I in the ER? Because there were no rooms in the hospital. And my body was putting some good work on trying to die so me and him got stuck in the ER.
So good for YOU, and YOUR experience. Meanwhile not everyone had the same experience.

You were a patient in the ED. You have zero clue why there were no rooms at r moment. None.
Also, you have zero idea what the pt next to you were dying from... You are making stuff up. And you are telling everyone you know how your hospital is overwhelmed due to covid. Pleas just stop because its not true
