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.
Haven't wore one since the pandemic started. The only time I wear a mask is when I'm cleaning the cat litter or cleaning the bathrooms with bleach because I can't stand the smell.
Even with a mask on, I can STILL smell the feces and bleach but it's subdued to a point where it's tolerant enough for me to proceed.
