Does nobody care about the health of themselves and others? Even communists? We're all just giving in to the liberal notion that getting COVID is inevitable and that you don't need to take any measures anymore? I hate everything.

Is it? The comments aren't explicitly anti-masking, but many of the comments are from people who are rationalizing why it's OK in their circumstance to unmask. Some of the newer comments are better but when I first checked the thread yesterday almost all of them were making excuses about why it doesn't really matter or why they can't for such-and-such reason (that I find disputable, "can't" in these contexts often just means they don't want to give up whatever aspect of their lifestyle makes masking difficult and thus excuses their behavior). I joked to my wife yesterday when I was getting annoyed about the thread that it gave me the same impression as when people think up weird hypotheticals about when it is okay to say slurs or whatever.
