Now do masks. They are symbolic gesture to help rally people to keep unhealthy at risk people feeling good. Like we’re here for them. Well, that’s gay and needs to stop. Their health isn’t my responsibility. I don’t want to pay for others healthcare and I don’t need others to wear special shit to make me “feel” like they care.

Yep! It's a superstitious virtue-signal without a shred of conclusive scientific backing. Drives me nuts!

Not remotely. If you have an aerosol-infectious disease like Kung Flu, masks reduce the release of aerosol particles. There's no need for a triple-blind study on whether masks work in particular for Wu Flu, since we've already got the studies that show it's airborne.

That said, wearing a mask when you're not sick actually makes you MORE likely to get the disease. It's bonkers.
