The whole point of wearing a mask as far as non-medical staff goes isn't to not breathe in the virus but so those infected or carrying it asymptomatically contain and reduce the spread. It's like the differences between a drip and a flow on your sink, sure it doesn't turn off the faucet completely but there's less coming out.
Yes, breathing fucking sucks under a filter.
Yes, it gets fucking hot and sweaty sometimes and it's understandable to wanna take it off when no one's around.
Yes, some establishments will even provide you one as a courtesy if you don't have one, people can forget sometimes.
Yes, you have to wear one in a public establishment even if you don't feel sick. No one knows where you've been or what you've been exposed to -- a lot of people have been trying to continue life as normal, parties, gatherings and even travel to places heavily affected by it.
No one enjoys the lockdown because it's either financially impacted their job, their favorite establishments to shop and even their commute. Acting like you're standing up to some form of tyranny because you don't like the suggested methods for how we can reduce the time of dealing with something you can't physically see pushing this back further than we have to is childish. Do you realize that no one actually enjoys this and wants to go back just as much as you do? Even if you don't think much of is as much more than a flu, the fact that hospitals are prioritizing people infected by this over most cases is at least someone we need less of. You wouldn't like it if someone went out their way to make your job or passtime harder than it has to be.
