Fact: Most masks DO NOT stop the transmission of Covid virus.
Fact: Most people are freaking out about masks, when from a scientific view (as outlined above) do not stop the transmission of the Covid virus.
Fact: Some people feel good about criticizing people that do not wear masks.

I do not believe these facts. In fact, I have seen a few videos filmed with ultra violet cameras that demonstrate the exact opposite of your what you say are "facts". Videos which show a person speaking in a normal tone, emitting aerosols into the air while the person is NOT wearing a mask. Same person, WITH a surgical mask on, speaking in same tone of voice. It is totally amazing how much less aerosols escape the mask. Those masks do trap much of the aerosols when a person either breaths or speaks. The masks do not trap 100% of the aerosols but the masks do mitigate and slow the spread of this virus. I embrace the science and what has been proven before my very own eyes.
