Dope1: The word you want is “hyperbole”, and it refers to the people who to this day wear masks all day even while driving and rush out to get their 6th COVID booster.
I wore a mask while out from the last week of January until two weeks ago and limited my exposure to crowds as much as possible... because I have been undergoing chemotherapy and wanted the best defense against even mild viral infections while immunocompromised and under treatment. Getting a cold or flu or covid could have seriously upset my cancer treatment. Now that round six, my last round of chemo, is behind me I no longer wear a mask despite still being immunocompromised.
And I don't understand this silly criticism of people wearing a mask while driving (presumably the criticism refers to them driving while alone in the car). Whenever I did so it was because I was making multiple stops and it was far easier to leave the mask on than to keep putting it on and taking it off at every stop (especially with masks that were not the ear-loop variety).
As far as boosters are concerned, they were developed to protect against new and emerging variants of the virus and it's perfectly logical for people with comorbidities to want to be as fully protected as possible.
Or, at the very least, what other people decide to do with respect to masking is none of your business, you haven't a single clue about the health issues or diseases others wearing masks have and are currently battling, and you can pretty much go fcuk yourself, you giant asshat.
