i wore one in the beginning of it because honestly? NOBODY knew wtf was going on with this thing. and studying biology and how viruses/bacteria works and spreads is kind of a foray hobby of mine a bit. so I DID understand the reasoning behind em. so i did wear em.

Another big reason was because all places had mandates by me in Illinois. they would be VERY aggressive about not letting you into shop or get stuff without one. so w/e....i needed to get my shit done.

I also worked in a restaurant through the WHOLE thing. we couldnt let people in the lobby at all so we worked like madmen taking people's orders outside and bringing it out to them and shit. it was hell.

so im not ashamed i wore it in 2020. cause nobody knew wtf was going on tbh. to ME personally though, the "pandemic" phase was over in the fall of 2020 when the virus did the initial surge then things could have been mitigated THEN, if there were competent people running things... but i guess cant have that.
