Before all the mask wearing started I used to always suspect a lot of people around me were idiots now I know immediately when someone is an idiot and can easily avoid them.

In other words someone would have to sneeze or cough into your face for you to get it

"in your face" is up to 27 feet away in stagnant still air. that's FAR MORE distance in any type of circulated air or wind carry situation

hence the masks

False. Droplets from a sneeze or cough only go a distance of a few feet. After that the momentum energy is lost and the droplets experience a rapid level decline, as well as a fanning effect.

In other words - someone would have to sneeze or cough into your face for you to get it.

You see a lot of people going around sneezing or coughing directly into people's faces? I'm sure they would get punched.

You already used that fail propaganda on someone else. Nice try though.

Fact #1: Masks do not stop the spread of viruses. Fact #2: People without viruses cannot spread viruses.
