I think the media and the supposed experts who have been all over the place on this have turned the average person into paranoid compliant robots. Just yesterday morning heard an epidemiologists state that the masks that 95% of the public is wearing are useless and nothing more than a psychological crutch. I just shake my head daily watching people driving around in their golf carts and in their cars with a mask on their face? How long before this insanity ends?

Tell that to the 500,000+ families of those who have died from Covid. Masks do help to stop the spread. Viral load peaks in the days before symptoms begin and speaking is enough to expel virus-carrying droplets. We can’t tell who’s infected you can’t look in a crowd and say, oh, that person should wear mask. There’s a lot of asymptomatic infection, so everybody has to wear a mask. If you read medical and science journals there is much evidence that wearing a mask reduces risk. We can't put links on this website but if you go to pubmed and search Face Masks Against COVID-19: An Evidence Review you can see what University and medical experts have found in their studies on the subject.
