It's pretty simple:
1) wearing a mask is not likely to ever cause YOU harm.
2) wearing a mask is likely to reduce the risk of spreading your germs to others.
3) wearing a mask is likely to reduce the risk of others spreading their germs to you.
4) NOT wearing a mask can increase the risk of contracting a virus.
5) NOT wearing a mask can increase the risk of spreading a virus.
6) There's a pandemic going on, with thousands of people STILL getting sick every single day, that is believed to have started somewhere around February - which was 7 months ago.
7) People who don't socially distance are contracting the virus at a faster rate than people who do socially distance, though people who do socially distance are still not immune.
8) People who don't socially distance AND refuse to wear a mask, are contracting and spreading the virus at a faster rate than people who are doing either one or the other, and those people are at a faster rate than those who do both.
The end summary suggestion:
Wear a mask, unless you have some ACTUAL (not merely claimed or pretended or hyperbolic) reason not to (such as - you're already hooked up to an oxygen tank, or you've just had a nose job and can't put pressure on your nose with a mask until you're healed).
