I agree with you. It isn’t tyranny. They’re just trying to offer vulnerable people some protection, any kind of protection. Masks don’t stop the inhalation of aerosols and aerosols are one way the virus is being spread.
However, masks that fit well may prevent you from inhaling an infected person’s spit or mucus that they expel when they cough and they’re crowding you in the grocery store and they aren’t wearing a mask.
It’s just a measure to try to stop some of the virus particles so elderly and those with an underlying health problem that makes them vulnerable aren’t forced to barricade themselves at home and never go out.
It’s the best that can be done at this point until there’s a vaccine. The typical face mask is not PPE. The CDC website says it isn’t.
“masks that fit well may prevent you from inhaling an infected person’s spit”
... “MAY well” ... Written in the style of all liberal mask terrorists. MAY. COULD. MIGHT. Nice wiggle words when attempting to manipulate people, but there is NO PROOF.
I agree with all of your comments.
The fact is that masks reduce or mitigate some exchange of viral material.
This is common sense and why all sorts of masks are worn for a variety of occupations.
The current anti maskers reminds me of the anti vaxxers, another group of selfish people who are caught up in conspiracy nonsense to the detriment of common sense.
