I dissagree with you on masks.
The virus usually travels on moisture particles, and the masks block some of those particles. It’s not 100% protection. But the amount of the innoculum (initial dose) is highly correlated to the severity of the disease.
If masks only block 50% they are helping. If they only block 25% they are still helping.
And almost all of the nations premier medical institutes recommended masks.
The masks are helping about 3%. This virus is an aerosol more than it is on the moisture particles. I’m not here to get in a fight with you, but you have been mislead about their effectiveness. Please look to see the data on masked vs unmasked populations. There is almost no difference between the two populations. The curves of infection are almost identical. Even the N-95 masks will only block 95% of 3 micron particles. This virus is about 0.7 microns. So every particle that isn’t caught up on a moisture particle is getting through. Only the ones on your spittle aren’t making it, but that’s not most of them.
As I said before, feel free to wear your mask if it makes you feel safer. And I do wish you all the best. I have family that still wear their masks. I can’t talk them out of it either, but I am not wearing one.
