Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.
What if they just have a cold and also are dealing with the cold weather? I’m not a hoodie guy but still often wear masks in businesses and on cold days might also wear a dark coloured touque to go with it. Plus it keeps your face warm in the winter.
Where I’m at, it doesn’t get THAT cold.
Fair enough. Keep in mind you also can’t always tell if someone is immunocompromised, and it’s still totally valid to wear a mask because one is sick or has recently been sick.
I get it, but my point is the criminal element uses the Covid masks for a completely different reason than the immunocompromised, and it’s very easy to tell who that is.
