The hysteria is real, but the only reasonable analysis I've heard is this:
N95 filter the air you breathe in, protecting you but nobody else. At-risk people should be wearing these.
Surgical masks block your droplets when you sneeze or cough, protecting other people but not you. Non-at-risk people should be wearing these.
Gaiter type masks aerosolize your droplets. Nobody should be wearing these.
Of course the media and/or the public are too stupid to understand nuance, so in practice we have 70% of people wearing gaiters and making the problem worse for everyone.
You’re participating in and perpetuating a deception. If you choose to do that, it’s on you, but it goes against my basic principles. Call me a zealot if you want...

There are plenty of them here on thedonald.win.
I comply with mask wearing because it's just a minor annoyance to me. Somehow that makes me complicit in an impending Commie Takeover.
The nuance that I don't support more intrusive restrictions such as shutting down businesses doesn't seem to matter.
Fuck the zealots on BOTH sides. I'd wish a pox upon them all, but that's kinda redundant now, eh?
Forcing masks is unconstitutional and it shouldn’t be a requirement but just a suggestion
