Based on the comments of this thread, there appears to be ZERO consistency in who does or does not wear a mask. Imagine that.

There certainly is.
People still wearing masks are not playing with a full deck.

But to each his own. It doesn’t bother me in the least that everyone around me is wearing masks while I walk around unmasked. I find it quite humorous, actually.
Not all democrats wear masks, but anyone still wearing a mask by choice is a democrat/leftist/progressive.

There are two key exceptions:

1.) Individuals who have significantly compromised immune systems and have been instructed/warned by their doctor it could be fatal if they don't.

2.) People who would not ordinarily be wearing a mask if they had a choice, but are being forced to by either their employer or the policies of the establishment they are patronizing.

In Latin America countries I still see many wearing masks. I'm not sure if wearing masks have become a status symbol or something.

I worked in a heavy Hispanic neighborhood in Chicago during the 2020 covid.. They were hit harder than many other community's. So maybe that's why.

Only seen at Elite College campus, worn by white protesters.

Actually I would say its the opposite of what you posted. Seems to be that the Majority of wearers are African Americans, Asian Americans which isnt out of the norm at any time, and then political charged white angry liberals, and old folks

We walk a regional mall during the hot months along with hundreds of others in Houston. All kinds of people, ages, colors, shapes, sizes yada,yada.

The masks, no masks are about half and half. Half the older whites and 99% blacks wear a mask. They all use good masks worn correctly.

Usually its younger minority wearers and elderly people. Fear and lack of information fuels the sense of need for them.
LOL, but I had to wear one for a medical visit the other day.
