My Mask is Better Than Yours
I don’t get this surgical/cloth masking thing. Am I missing some controlled study where coronavirus patients were placed in a controlled group of random people without coronavirus and then transmission rates were studied both indoors and out? I am 100% behind where the science says to go, if a randomized control trial shows indisputable evidence that these masks are effective against the coronavirus, sure, no problem, let’s mask up. But if they are being mandated due to nebulous general population “studies” where some areas show effectiveness and others not as effective (as I’ve currently seen and is largely the basis for the state order) – all to make it look like the politicians are doing something, then I am 100% against it. I’m surprised hardly anyone is questioning the rationale behind masks.
