‘I think wearing a mask helps.’
facemasks have very limited value; it may stop your effluvia if you happen to be near someone for a period of time, and suddenly are overcome with a coughing fit or sneezing jag...
the real purpose of masks is to force compliance to diktat and virtue signalling for the morally superior...
Universal mask wearing reduces transmission by something like 80%.
Look, it does prevent your exhaling and having that exhale
travel at speed unimpeded.
This essentially make that six foot distancing more like
20-30 feet.
Is it air tight? No. Is it better than not having anything?
Yes.
I do not see it as simply a way of getting us to comply with
an edict. If I did, I’d join you in complaining about it.
