That’s right; I told my family to use them early (and we had a few of the good ones) because every first responder on the news here in NJ was wearing one - even for directing traffic. It was clear that they knew something we didn’t - and they were supposedly more important than the people who pay them (us).
We’ve remained healthy, in an area that had plenty of infections and deaths.
And some healthcare professionals believe wearing these masks is unhealthy. You like them, wear them, but a cloth cotton, polyester, or other fabric does not stop you from passing or getting the COVID-19 virus.
They are nothing more than a new form of virtue signaling.
“It was clear that they knew something we didn’t “
They knew nothing. They were doing what they were told. How can the Gov of NJ demand the public wear masks if their own police didn’t?
