NYC still has its "Mask Up" campaign in full force including announcements on the subways between stops. What's super interesting is the wide range of numbers masked by different train line and time of day.
You can see like 90% masked in midtown trains almost anytime but it drops to like 35% in Brooklyn except for hipster enclaves. Pretty funny to watch nearly all the masked faces exit the train at the same few stops. We humans are peculiar creatures, eh?
Just scored a job in one of the richer local communities. The number coming in, children and all in those dog snout monstrosities is far more than in the more mid to lower class towns I frequent. At least they have to wear the damn things rather than me. I turned down another job prior when it became apparent we had to mask 'for clients' whether they masked or not. The class ramifications of masks are something that needs to be addressed.
Masks are popular with a certain subset of the population for reasons having nothing to do with public health, as videos from a Philadelphia gas station this past week show.
