[If masks are not effective when the wearers are 20 ft. apart, they are truly worthless.]
Are they an annoyance? Absolutely. I don’t like seat belts either. But the thought of flying through my windshield in the event of a serious collision means I always click it.
Yours is a great example of the faulty logic that has put us where we are.
The best logical conclusion from this test, if we are going to accept the test as sound, is that all air conditioners should take in fresh air constantly so as to introduce only uncontaminated air into a building.
Also all central air conditioners should be modified so as to self disinfect.
Expensive, but certainly less costly than shutting down our economy.
Also how to manage air flow in public buildings would be a reasonable endeavor.
You can wear your mask if you choose, but my body, my choice. I choose to protect myself in other ways.
By the way, I don’t have locks to keep people out of my house.
The locks are there so as to require effort on the part of bad guys who wish to get in. That effort results in noise. Noise wakes my dog. Dog wakes me. Bad guy regrets picking my house, but only for a few seconds. That is all he has left.
In the event I am not home, the effort leaves evidence, sets off alarm, notifies the sheriff, etc.
If your mask has an alarm that notifies you that you are under attack, I highly recommend you wear it.
Mine does not.
I know...I am mean, but I just could not resist.
