Also I think some people are just against ANY precautions against Covid. Some of these are conspiracy theorists who don't think that Covid exists; others consider themselves to be 'tough guys' and anyone who takes any precautions as a coward. I remember getting into an argument a few months ago with someone online who insisted that he wasn't going to wear a mask or socially distance because 'I am a big BIG man!' As if he was expecting to beat up the virus with his bare hands or something!
