good comments from link " 1)Masks are to keep you thinking about COVID. If people aren't wearing masks then everything looks essentially normal, and people won't think much about COVID, and that's not acceptable to the people who want a never ending COVID pandemic they can use. 2) "Ding ding ding! Remember all the way back to spring 2020, when cases were falling and nobody at all was wearing masks? And that was with FAR FAR FAR fewer people with acquired immunity.Then they brought out the masks so we were reminded to BE SCARED - SOMETHING IS WRONG! (And it's Trump's fault!)" 3) Precisely. They're an essential piece of the COVID theatre. You see everyone masked up, and decades of movie imagery kicks in and tells your back brain that there must be a dangerous pathogen about. The only remarkable thing about the nonentity this piece focused on was that she was stupid enough to admit this.
