What do you all think of this? Personally, I wear a mask for the same reason that I wear a seat belt. maybe I'll never need it but just in case I do, it's there.
I wear mine to protect the numb nuts that just will not get vaccinated, my patience is wearing pretty thin though.
@Willow_Wisp refers to a valid detail that is very correct.
Wearing masks only indirectly protects us.
Masks discourage our bodies from dispensing the disease. They doesn't do as much to directly protect us from catching the virus.
Only when enough of us do what is needed to suppress the disease through masks, vaccination or simple doo-dah luck, will we be safe (or dead).
Personally I strongly prefer the more proactive end of that range of choices -- vaccination and masks -- rather than trusting to dumb luck to get through (probably with damage).
