I’d argue that wearing maks gives a sense of Artificial safety causing people to be more risky in their behavior. I.E. going out and about more often than not. Thus any effectiveness of the masks is kind of reduced a or even eliminated al together.

I’d also argue that using just numbers for cases means Jack and shit if the percent isn’t complied as well. 5 positive cases out of 10 is a lot 50 out of a thousand not so much.

I’d also argue that, and let me adjust my tin foil a bit, but I think they (powers that be) want us to be bickering about this right now. I don’t believe masks work or do fuck all other than make people feel safer. If you’re that worried about you or your self or someone else, maybe stay home, encourage them to stay home. The health and well being of other isn’t my concern. If someone is so worried about catching this by working at Walmart then maybe not work there? Oh but you need money... well then you did a risk cost analysis in your head and decided it was worth it. If you think a piece of cloth is going to stop this then I have a bridge to sell you.... on November 4th
