here's my problem with the mask arguments i see on here a lot. everyone seems to take an all or nothing approach, "if they work then what is the problem if you're wearing one and i am not?"
i think that is crap, because i think it's fair to say they do reduce the spread insomuch that they undoubtedly reduce say, particle spray from talking etc.
my problem with them lies in that i simply do not think the threat that they are mitigating is even remotely large enough to warrant any sort of mandate requiring one. it's not such a threat as to compel me to do anything, not that masks are not on some level effective. but they're clearly not 100% effective.
