Masks don’t just inhibit the spread of Covid. They caused a precipitous drop in influenza, another potentially deadly disease, during the height of the pandemic. And other respiratory diseases were diminished as well. People with compromised immune systems were ironically safer in public places than any other time in their lives. Now these spaces which continue masking provide social interaction and emotional support for them and their friends. I didn’t know it was a thing but I think it’s great, I hope they make enough business to continue. I mask when I’m in indoor public places because my vulnerable spouse is recovering from their second pneumonia hospitalization this year, but I’m aware masks are better at containing germs than keeping them out, which is why the group effort is more effective.
If you are were a mask while not sick, you are delusional. It is hygiene theater. Unless it is a properly fitted N95 mask you are doing nothing than giving yourself false security. Having a venue specifically for the immuno-compromised is fine and all but if there are not enough of them to keep the business afloat, boycotting them wont change that. Maybe having specific events hosted at the bar would work better than expecting everyone at all times to cater to a specific demographic. Also the sorts of people that dont wash their hands and cover their mouths with their elbows while coughing dont care and infact actively try to negate the efforts of others.
Cloth face masks were found to have significantly poorer filtering performance than medical/surgical masks and N95 masks, but only if non-cloth masks were properly fitted. Our results illustrate the necessity ofusing well-fitting medical/surgical or N95-typed masks to prevent viral spread, although some allowance should be made in circumstances where higher compliance with cloth mask mandates are expected.
Who said it’s not a well-fitting N95? I don’t mask for appearances. It’s snug around my nose so my glasses stay clear.
As for the bar, there’s obviously a large supportive community or they wouldn’t be trying to get the bar to continue the ongoing protocol, or their boycott wouldn’t threaten the bar’s finances. Anyone trying to negate the efforts is gonna regret angering the lesbians.
Similarly COVID doesn’t just spread COVID, it weakens the immune system in ways that permanently make people more vulnerable to other illnesses and more likely to develop autoimmune disorders. Many endemic diseases like flu are still seeing higher rates of hospitalisation than before.

Im sure getting people to practice basic hygiene would also help, people are nasty.
I don’t know about you but I find wearing a mask helps remind me about washing my hands before touching my face.
I do think it could lower profits in a bar because you’d be more conscious about drinking and eating.

N95’s are considered the best but even a cloth mask is actually better than no mask. Don’t make perfection the enemy of good.
Cloth masks protect others from you, they do next to nothing to protect you from others.
Effectiveness of cloth face masks to prevent viral spread: a meta-analysis

Obviously it’s not large enough, or the bar wouldn’t be going under.
I’m sorry, this your idea of being supportive? Throwing a tantrum and threatening because you don’t get your way is support.

Masks also cause a precipitous drop in being able to communicate in loud public spaces, and not inhaling your own saliva.
