Face Masks are simply a virtue signaling device.
It gives the populace something to do in the face of this nearly non-lethal pandemic.
Imagine a virus so deadly you needed multiple tests to confirm you had it because you're asymptomatic.
Yup. Gee, sounds like exposure to low doses of the seasonal flu. You may have zero symptoms. Also, similar near-100% survival rate.
Remind me again when we shut down the country for the flu?
