The prior poster stated that I should mask up just because everyone else is doing it. I guess you really never heard of the old saying, “So if Johnny jumped off a cliff, would you?”

Wow!
Except there is scientific evidence that it does help.

The far right will lead you to believe that it’s useless while the far left will tell you that it’s the only way to stop COVID. Don’t listen to either. Anyone who references politics for everything is completely brainwashed, that goes for a lot of posters in this forum.

Wow!

I’m not going to do your homework for you, but there have been two separate studies done that prove, conclusively, that masks basically do nothing.

Agreed. Anyone who references politics for everything is completely brainwashed, that goes for a lot of posters in this forum.

I didn’t mention politics. You did.

You just pwned yourself.

If people wear proper masks (talking KN95/KF94 and of course N95, those other flimsy surgical type masks not so much) properly (meaning well fitting and not pulled down from the nose at any point), then it does help - have been to at least 30 concerts since things opened back up, with a KF94 not budging from my face despite that maybe 90% of the audience isn't wearing one at all, and have yet to catch anything despite being in packed halls - and several of these concerts have been superspreaders. It hasn't hindered my enjoyment at all. I will continue to wear masks in public spaces indoors (stopped wearing one outdoors a long time ago) until infection rates get back down to a level I'm comfortable with (what that is I am not sure but will feel it when it happens, and it's not now).

N95. NBC. CBS. WKRP in Cincinnati. Who’s even keeping track of this nonsense. I sure ain’t.

Wear as many masks as you like. I won’t wear anything.

You do you, and I’ll do me.

I wish banned users would give us clues who they used to be.
