Masks wearing is a joke. Biden thinks it can be controlled by wearing a mask (or in his case 2), but he's really not catching it because he's really good at social distancing, i.e. locking himself up in his basement. As President Trump said, we all don't have the luxury to do that. Trump has the right idea: KILL the disease with a vaccine or treat it with a therapeutics.

Masks do screen out coughs and sneezes. But it seems it would be safer for the public to have a symptomatic carrier stay home and cough, rather than don a mask and go to Walmart or church.
I notice that the cases are going up even as the mask mandates are buckled down on. "But correlation is no proof of causation..." Nope but it does merit examination. Something people refuse to do.

I need to add that to know about masks, you need an IQ at least 100, but apparently that's average. Many are below, just follow rules, enforce others also. Others higher would have other reasons.

Government dictates have nothing to do with healthcare, it is all about control and conditioning for future control.

I worked in the military and commercial nuclear reactor industry for over 48 years, worn every manner of respiratory protection that man has ever conceived, and the protection factor for cloth mask is "zero". This all about control, nothing more, nothing less,.

You tell people, and they don't want to listen, N95 masks are fucking useless, for anything smaller than droplets.
It's easier to sell fear, if you can visualize it.
