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 initial discouraging of the mask to do or not was to stop the stampede for masks to allow the medical providers adequate supply.

Why is it those who are against masks cannot just be satisfied with their decision?

Why do they always have to diss and put down and make derogatory remarks of those who think otherwise?

Be happy in YOUR thoughts but please allow the rest of us the same courtesy.
