It's neither of those things. It's a case of individuals putting their own needs above the needs of others, but thinking they're helping. That's the best case scenario.
can you please explain the 'putting their own needs above the needs of others', as it relates to wearing a mask in public or not?

I don't think I'm getting your context. maybe just a big misunderstanding.

I did fall for it for a bit, I smoked for 30 years, I was all putting outdoor clothes on and legging it down the shop to buy a pack. Till it sunk in.
I fell it for too for few mins then looked at the website if it was legit.
Then checked my calendar for date and said fuck this.
What a bad joke at this time .
Fucking idiots.

there's probably some good COVID/April Fools jokes to be had...but I can't think of any where a cure is part of the punchline.

Daily Mail are blithering idiots, I reckon they thought it was legit when B&H put it out as a joke.

you think our banker economy will collapse that soon, or you think rebuilding an actual economy will be really quick once we flay some hedge fund managers?

One of the local hospitals here blankly said "We can't buy masks right now." They put out a request on Facebook for people to donate them.

That being said, it occurs to me that people aren't looking at the perceived value of masks in context. If I were making a sundae analogy the base would be ice cream (effective testing) hot fudge (improved hygiene norms) brownies (social distancing/self isolation) and the a cherry on top (masks) For a good sundae we need all those parts, but in a pinch just a bowl of ice cream is still most of the way to where you want to be. However, if you were craving a sundae, and I gave you a bowl with a cherry in it, you'd be understandably confused as to why I'd bother wasting everyone's time. Without effective testing, which as it sits right now we're nowhere near, you can close everything and dress people up in hazmat suits and it isn't going to help.

It also occurs to me that people seem to be under the impression that the goal is to stop the spread when the goal is simply to slow it to a manageable pace. If people are doing everything they can to prevent themselves from getting sick this is going to go on forever.

I'm glad when I was in my 20's and my friends were investing I wasted all my money on partying. Our investments currently hold the same collective value.
