I bought a sony android phone (which after a lot of research seems to be produced in Japan) to my father because he refuses to use anything produced in China and I am also very hesitant to buy stuff that is produced in countries that don't generally care about quality, the environment etc. I have thought about buying a Nikon for a long time but this maybe will make me reevaluate that pick.
Let's guess where your father's mask is made during this pandemic. Given that China has provided 200 billion masks, the answer is almost obvious. Please throw away all your masks made in China, right away!
I'm also curious how long it will take you to find a country that is both willing and able to sell you masks during this pandemic.
But regarding masks, I live in Sweden and basically no one here wears a mask, including my father. Both me and my father have been isolated of course but there is really no need for him to wear a mask. We shop online and otherwise only meet people from our own family.
I work from home and he closed his company and went retired this year. I guess the joke is on you my friend.
Can't believe we're 10+ months in and people still think like that. Didn't the Swedish gov and even the king declared they fucked up big time like last week ?
Sweden's covid handling is a total failure:

That was related to how they handled old people and care homes. The Swedish government still firmly believes that general mask use is at best unnecessary.
Sweden is not like your typical big american city, a lot of swedes live in houses with gardens and of course a lot of us also live in apartments in a city but that is not me and it is not my father.
If it were, we would both be wearing masks.
If it were a joke, it's not funny.
Don't worry, we're taking it more serious than most of the country.
They also provided the pandemic to start with. Great way to do business !
