Watching the riders wear masks during outdoor interviews is the epitome of lunacy unchecked.

It's everywhere. The coaches in the NBA finals were wearing masks while surrounded by 20k unmAked fans, inside. Ridiculous

It's actually frightening. How can people be so incredibly stupid?

I think itтАЩs the idiotic organisers(ASO) forcing this theatre of virtue signalling. ItтАЩs also the soigneurs, the camera people, and the podium girls(and boys now!) being forced to wear them. The podium presenters even have face nappies that match the particular jersey category. How delightfulтАж..
