If there is a super deadly virus out there making people drop dead, what the fuck is a mask going to to stop it?
As for not spreading it to other people - let me think, here's an idea for people, cough and sneeze into your sleeve, that's actually advice doctors have given for many years.
Same, I live in Chicago and have never put a mask on. Everyone around me does.
I knew one guy who died of covid. He was in his 60s and a type 2 diabetic who, unfortunately, didn't take great care of himself and was pretty overweight. Good guy though
