More recently, I'm immediately suspicious of someone who is very obviously not immunocompromised; wearing a Covid mask with the hoodie up. Especially if they have sunglasses on. That person is either bipping cars or about to steal something. Best to just steer clear. I only ever really encounter these types in SF. They aren't worried about Covid, they just don't want their face to be seen.
Yeah. Masks with a hood this far after COVID is unusual.
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.
