Why USA refuse masks despite COVID19

Even though 1.2 million corona19 confirmed cases in the United States and 70,000 people died of the epidemic, there are still a few people who are still wearing masks.

 

 

 

Why is it? 

 

So why do Americans refuse masks despite fear of COVID19?

 

 

 

 

Accordingly, CNN broadcast an article analyzing the psychology of refusing to wear a mask based on coverage of clinical psychologists on the 6th.

 

 

 

First of all, there may be a hearing that considers wearing a mask a deprivation of freedom.

 

Clinical psychologist Stephen Taylor told CNN,

 

"People say what they do, and they naturally resist it even if it protects them."

 

"It is not permanent to wear a mask, but this temporary guideline is too big a concession for a strong opposition," said Professor David Aronov of Vanderbilt University.

 

 

 

 

Some people mistakenly believe that wearing a mask reveals vulnerability.

 

New York University professor David Abrams said, "Some people wear masks to admit their fears." .

 

"But now is the scary moment," he added. "The fear is natural, but I don't want to show it."

 

It was also analyzed that the inconsistent guidelines of the authorities would not put meaning on the mask.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Initially, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made recommendations that healthy people do not need to wear masks, and then changed the guidelines recommending everyone to wear masks in light of the need to respond to the spread of asymptomatic people.

 

The fact that even the President is not wearing a mask here reveals the ambiguity of the guidelines.

 

"Now we are leaning on the trust and kindness of others to protect us, and that's part of being an American," he said.
