OK just stop. You clearly haven't read the up to date research on how effective those disposable masks actually were.

> Not a single medical waste bin was set up to dispose of all of these masks containing deadly viruses and pathogens like any other biohazard situation would.

And right now schools mandate exposure to that same biohazard / RG3 airborn pathogen , so if we can get to the point where *that* is dealt with then sure we can deal with waste disposal which is not the primary means of infection by a long shot.

> Instead of having a medical waste bin on every corner everybody wore them multiple times people used to hang them around the shifter in their car and rewear the same freaking mask day in day out

If this was happening in your community then sure, that's a problem. People should be wearing clean, effective high quality masks. But let's not lose sight of what happened next; people just up and deciding to ditch the masks and mass-infect with the biohazard

> Also countless tons of these stupid things ended up in the freaking ocean and not a single climate activist is bugging out about the fact that there is endless masks in the sea now.

OK first of all, if it is true that they are in the ocean and they are made of carbon that is potentially a long-term sink since they don't degreade very much, so climate-wise that's not a bad thing. Obviously we could be doing better at dealing with biohazardous waste such as masks though to direct it outside of the ocean.
