It's pretty simple:

1) wearing a mask is not likely to ever cause YOU harm.
2) wearing a mask is likely to reduce the risk of spreading your germs to others.
3) wearing a mask is likely to reduce the risk of others spreading their germs to you.
4) NOT wearing a mask can increase the risk of contracting a virus.
5) NOT wearing a mask can increase the risk of spreading a virus.
6) There's a pandemic going on, with thousands of people STILL getting sick every single day, that is believed to have started somewhere around February - which was 7 months ago.
7) People who don't socially distance are contracting the virus at a faster rate than people who do socially distance, though people who do socially distance are still not immune.
8) People who don't socially distance AND refuse to wear a mask, are contracting and spreading the virus at a faster rate than people who are doing either one or the other, and those people are at a faster rate than those who do both.

The end summary suggestion:

Wear a mask, unless you have some ACTUAL (not merely claimed or pretended or hyperbolic) reason not to (such as - you're already hooked up to an oxygen tank, or you've just had a nose job and can't put pressure on your nose with a mask until you're healed).

It's more than unfortunate when our leaders politicize masks. This is not helpful and it is the biggest reason we have the highest per capita COVID-19 infections. People will literally cut off their noses to spite their faces in the U.S. These same maskless people want to tell woman what to do with their own bodies. Really??

Maskless people wish to prevent a child's murder? Go figure! The gall of them!!

Whatever that means. Is someone telling us NOT to wear a mask? Is someone demanding that we wear a mask? Like someone else said "I am so confused."
