I mean, the whole thing STARTED in CHINA! They've worn masks for decades and had a MASSIVE outbreak.

What are you talking about?!?

If putting a mask on is too much to handle, what possibly can that person handle? Aside from lying down and do nothing.

Doing something that has absolutely no benefit just because of the placebo affect is weak.

Sorry but thinking people don't need to do that.

A lot less weird than it was before. I’ve found masks to suck a lot less than I previously had thought.

Condoms are worse to wear than masks, TBH. Lol

Well then why did we have so much corona????? How can you have one but not the other, even when the flu is more contagious than covid 19?

Which is it for you people? You just said we had a too much corona virus so how did we get that but no flu??????

I only wear N95 masks made by 3M.

Did they have a massive outbreak? Surely doubt the numbers that come out of there which is why I left them out. But surrounding countries with more trustworthy numbers and mask culture were success stories and models of how to handle it.

Great. Wear a mask forever. Why not wrap yourself in saran wrap too? They'd love you in China.

Mitigation, not elimination. There are 7.7 billion people on the planet. Even a small percentage reduction makes a huge difference in numbers.
