You do realize masks dont do anything.
Not entirely. If you are infected, and cough or sneeze it will assist in localizing the dispersion of particulates. That is what masks are actually for. However, if you are infected, and are contagious, you probably shouldn't be out shopping at Costco.
They use them in surgical theaters, and always have, and those are not even N95s, which seal tighter. Of course they do something. You can argue if the virus is a big deal, but not that masks will help limit spread if it is.
Knowing the degree of intelligence activity in regular society, it is impossible these days to know if what you see is real. But masks are the one option I see advocated that cannot hurt. If this is fake, no harm no foul, and it screws up facial recognition and maybe the domestic surveillance/informant network if you are not a high priority target.
But if this is bad for seniors, masks could save lives, and it costs me almost nothing to wear one.
Can’t grasp why people are so against this.
