Masks don’t work. Compliance to falsehoods are a slippery slope to communism

They only don't work if you don't use them properly, for instance touching them before cleaning your hands.

The virus travels in water droplets in the air. Wearing a mask that captures water droplets will reduce the amount of water droplets in the air and thus reduce the chance of infection. Isn't that like...common sense?

The next time you buy a box of masks, look for the part that says "will not provide any protection against COVID-19 (coronavirus)" Then you'll start to understand why people don't like masks around here. Maybe I'm ancient (late 20s), but I remember when people would stay home if they were sick and cover mouth with their elbow when they sneeze or cough.

So if that’s the case why haven’t we worn mask because of the flu or the common cold which is another version of covid?

I imagine because they have much lower mortality rates, and since they had become a part of our life and there was nothing much we could do about it, we decided that in balance not wearing a mask for those illnesses seemed the right way of doing things in terms of lfie disruption.

Mortality rate for Covid is really low as well.
