The harm is the mandate that everybody wear one. The virus can get in through eyes also so should we be mandated to wear goggles too? I remember fraudchi suggested we should but the media didn’t go with it so the idea died. I wish the mask idea would die too.
Most recently they have said that the virus is not transmissible through the eyes, with the exception perhaps of people who have touched a place where somebody just coughed and then rub their eyes...but I don’t imagine that’s a very common scenario. However, we still have these little old ladies here trotting around wearing their Chinese plastic face shields that say, in big blue letters, FACE SHIELD across the front. But if it makes them feel better, that’s fine.
As for the masks, I don’t wear one, but if other people want to wear one and look silly and be unable to breath freely or be understood when they speak, that’s fine by me. I would never laugh at them or insult them, because I know they’re just scared. But don’t try to make me wear one.
Masks do not work. Anyone wanting protection from COVID should pull a condom over their entire head and face. Do not bother making air holes.
