It's a cold???? When was the last time millions died of (or even with) a "cold". COVID is a serious virus, especially among vulnerable individuals. No, it's not Ebola or Lassa fever, but it is not to be taken lightly either. As far as masks go, you're right in that they do very little to protect the individual wearing them. But when groups of people are gathered together, they do reduce the transmission of the virus from those infected to those that aren't. It's probably better to have groups of people in close proximity wear a mask than to close down economies again.
