Two things about the masks, first they told you not to use them because they needed them for the frontline providers and there were not enough and now they want you to wear them as they have scientifically proven that when everyone wears a mask, the spread rate of the virus drops dramatically. It holds your droplets in place and does not shower other people so you wear one to protect others and they wear one to protect you. One stat you have is very wrong. This virus has a 6% death rate currently which is much worse than the flu that has about a 1/2 of 1% death rate. It is not that easy to catch the flu, you have to be showered with the bug directly, Covid 19 hangs in the air and you can get it just by walking in the air that has been contaminated. It is so much more contagious. Be good to your fellow man and wear a mask.
