When Does a "Fake" Pandemic Become "Real"?

That’s not what you said in the other thread. You said:

"No, no benefit whatsoever. I personally feel my breathing is restricted which makes me uncomfortable. If it causes me to feel uncomfortable and an increase in anxiety as a result, I’m not following through.

I literally don’t even know one person who has caught COVID-19 since this whole thing began."

I remember reading this and feeling embarrassed for you. I can’t ever remember altering my actions because I was anxious about something. I can’t remember identifying a feeling I’ve had as anxiety before. I’m sure I’ve felt anxious at times, but you just get on with it. If I had actually identified feelings of anxiety about something so small I’d certainly be too embarrassed to type it out even on an anonymous forum. When I’m wearing my mask, my breathing is certainly restricted some, but I know for sure that it’s not going to cause me an problems, so why feel anxious? As a group of people who presumably get after in the gym, on the field, court etc., I’d assume we’re all pretty familiar with feeling short of breath and uncomfortable. We seek it out! Anxious? Pffft.

And, you STILL don’t get it. Wearing a mask isn’t about you. It’s about keeping others safe. At this point you’ve got to be trolling because you’ve had it explained to you over and over. It’s a simple concept.
