If people wearing masks believe they work, why are they at all concerned for those who do not? It is puzzling to me.
Because they work to not only protect the wearer some, but also to protect others. If you aren't wearing a mask you are a danger to me. But you knew that.

Thanks for your thoughtful post.
I am continually amazed to go to the supermarket and see warning signs requiring all to wear masks being ignored. I have to ask, "are you immune? Don't you think you can spread the virus? Do you not care? Is it an infringement on your "freedom"? There seems to be no enforcement. Is that out of fear of being shot?
In those same stores, which profess to want to protect their employees, many of the employees wear their masks, but don't cover their noses, or wear them around their necks. Don't they have supervisors who enforce the store's policy?

I love how, when creating a new password, I do my best, and then get the snarky message that I Must Include this or that.

We mostly watch MHz, on Roku. It offers lots of European fare, and the subtitles are super, easy to read. Some series are single season, some have many seasons. We always watch with the sound up, even though we don't know the language.
Often there are English phrases spoken by the characters, and when characters from two different countries are in a show, the might use English as a common language when they don't know each other's language. When the show includes music, like when the characters are listening to recorded music, it's often in English.
MHz is the best thing on streaming, and IMO, better than Prime, which we watch occasionally.

Read up on the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons
That group is the one that is suing the FDA.

But we still have to keep care of our teeth so they will last as long as possible.
Thus the phrase "long in the tooth"?

Protesting is ok, protected by the constitution, just like choosing your religion, printing a newspaper, owning a gun. Looting is not ok, it's a crime.

Yeah, my wife and I went in the store for a couple things. We went directly to the aisle we needed.
GASP.... we walked in the opposite direction and were reminded by a busybody.
To keep the herd happy my wife turned the cart in the correct direction then we walked backwards to the item.

Insensitive jerks. Both of you.

Rugged individualism is fine. As long as the said individuals would sign a declaration not to go to the hospital if infected by SARS-CoV-2 and endanger the lives of nurses and doctors, some working in hospitals with insufficient PPEs and reusing masks.

Sorry, guess I'm not batshit crazy enough to listen to much of what Trump says. He's barely in touch with reality, let alone anybody smarter than him. I guess I need to watch more Fox News. I do tune in occasionally, and usually feel stupid and confused afterward.
I'd take your advice on photography anytime, Fotoartist. Politics.... NAH!

Just out of high school, I had four friends who drove from Denver to Seattle to see the World's Fair. On their way back they got stuck in Utah, in a small town, due to car trouble. Parts had to come in via bus. When they went to the drive in theater, they were going to be charged per person, while a car load was a fixed price regardless of the number in the car. They reformed themselves, two in front, two in back, "driver" "rolled down the window," tendered the per car price, and they were let in!
These same friends sent me a fish head from the fish market in Seattle. Got a call from the post office to come pick up the package, as it had been in transit for a few days, in the Summer, and had a certain aroma to it. The PO didn't want to put it out for delivery with the carrier. Mom brought the package home, and it sat on the ash pit out by the alley until the garbage truck came by.
They were my best friends.
