Why did they change this? Who knows... maybe to appease a paranoid population? 99% of the face coverings I see are useless. Viruses are microbial. You can not hide from them. How long is it going to take for this ridiculous paranoia about a virus that is 99% survivable to go away? I am somewhat encouraged as I am seeing more and more folks like myself that have discarded the masks.

The mask is not to protect you from the virus but to protect others from getting it from you. That is why at first they said you did not need it. They then discovered that you could be infectious without symptoms so recommended everyone wear a mask. So you are basically saying to everyone screw you I don’t care if you get the virus by not wearing the mask.
You do not need to wear the mask unless you are going to be in close contact with others. Is it really such a big deal to show respect to others by wearing a mask?
Trump doesn’t wear a mask but everyone that comes in contact with him does.
