The numbers don’t lie. Mask wearing has had little to no appreciable effect on the spread of the Corona virus.

Really? No better than Florida? The numbers don't lie? To be honest, I don't pay attention to the numbers because they are pretty much skewed. There are so many differences between the states the way cases and deaths are reported, I gave up on all those stats LONG ago. They don't hold any water for me and that is my opinion.
True story...........Very early on in this pandemic, there was a news story about two hair stylists who were Covid positive. They continued to work with their customers while they were Covid positive and contagious. The two stylists wore masks and they made their patrons wear masks. Funny thing is, of the customers who were tested for Covid, none of them tested positive. That situation really resonated with me. That is when Universal masking hit home for me and I realized that masks really do work to slow the spread of the virus.
This is the CDC report of these two stylists and their customers........
