Wait I thought I couldn't handle this much science at once.

I know someone that was part of the task force (posting this without asking). When I asked him about the mask thing it was in March and we didn't know enough yet. His response:

" I would just stay home as much as possible. Masks aren't needed. Just stay 6' from people, don't touch your face (harder than it seems), and wash your hands once home. Masks are worse than no masks for most people. That aren't natural feeling, so people actually touch their faces extra because of adjusting them."

And he was right I walk around in a store today and I now notice most people are filthy. If I catch something it will most likely not be SARS COV 2 but something else festering in the face diapers they are wearing.
