>>12537167>If I crash my motorcycle, I'm just going to snap my neck or get crush or ripped apart, so why do I even have to wear a helmet?Squids gonna squid.
I went through CBRN-E training in the military. The instructors told us to take it seriously because we might one day be the target or a chemical attack from a substance that could kill you within moments of coming in contact with it. One instructor said this was why it was so important to practice with MOPP gear enough so that we get don the mask within the recommended 9 seconds and the complete gear to a minimum level within 20 seconds. The next instructor, standing next to her, who had just told us we could be the target of chemical warfare which would kill us effectively instantly if unprotected, literally said, "It's not thaaaat serious, you don't really need to get the mask on in less than 9 seconds. You can just hold your breath."
As if it were more reasonable to risk exposure than just practice putting on the mask enough so you could don it in less than 9 seconds.
That's you. That's everyone who cries about the masks. You literally know the masks are effective in preventing the spread of the disease, but - for whatever reason - you just can't be bothered to take it seriously. I don't know if it's contrarianism or some kind of weird confidence issue where you don't want to be be serious instead of Too Cool for School™, but, like I said - squids gonna squid.
