And while on the subject, there have been any number of posters that are piling on Tony Fauci like he is the bad guy. To all of you that think that, you have no idea what you are talking about, and I don't care what you read on which conspiracy web site. Do you know him? Have you had dinner with him several times? Have you talked with him for an hour or two? If not, you need to zip it. If you had, you would have a better idea of what Tony is all about.

The bold underlined part is why sometimes your posts about masks frustrates me.
Masks protect people. Even paper masks protect people. You just said so in this post. No, my paper mask is not likely to offer much (if any) significant protection TO me against your germs. But it is very likely to offer much significant protection FROM my germs against you.
If we are both wearing paper masks, and talking to each other, we have twice the thickness of protection between us, which adds even more protection - including SOME protection to me against you, and to you against me.
That's why paper masks have been and continue to be the recommendation for us "commoner" folk. Indoors, inside buildings other than your own, masks will help. They will help a whole lot if everyone is doing it. Less so if only a few are doing it. Not at all if no one is doing it.
