My partner and I have taken this seriously, right from jump, but I like to think we exercised what used to be known as common sense.

We try to separate messages from the messengers and vet each each piece of data before coming to conclusions.

If anyone read the mask efficacy study that was done in 2015 before everything became political, the data stated that unless one was wearing a properly fitted N95, that masks were essentially useless in preventing respiratory infection. Also, next time you’re at the grocery store, take a look at how many people wear their masks….loose, below the nose etc.

So, all the homemade cutesy cloth masks with clever political slogans are nothing more than psychological crutches or tools of virtue signaling used by the chattering classes, IMO.

That said, as we go about living the best normal lives we can, we will start carrying our N95s with us out in public indoor spaces in case we run into any mask nannies, even though we’ve both been fully vaxxed.
