Cloth and those disposable masks are not designed for protection. We were always told they are not protective and if anyone does not know that by now, they have not been listening. Those masks are designed for source control and for those masks to be effective, everyone wears a mask. Your mask protects me and my mask protects you. THAT is why masks should be mandated in schools for children who can not be vaccinated yet. There should be absolutely no debate about that.

I agree but I am more interested in protecting myself from those who don’t wear masks. As you said you got vaccinated to protect yourself mainly. K95 masks are available now on Amazon reasonably priced so I am going to order some as a precaution for the future.
I know you were concerned about unvaxxed being Qanon hillbillies and I tend to agree but what do you think about the new video from the administration to convince them to get vaccinated? It shows a guy in a skirt with long fingernails, fluffy hair prancing around the WH talking with Jen in a girlie voice. Do you think it will convince the hillbillies to get vaccinated?
