Can we just have a common sense talk.
States and cities are demanding you wear a mask. WHY?
Either they work or they don't.
- If they work, WHY are we shut down. Just have people wear them to work.
- If they don't... why are you forcing people to wear them? Why are DRs and Nurses wearing them...
The answer is that this isn't a binary situation. Masks, assuming everyone is wearing one all the time, diminish but do not eliminate the risk of contagion. So some businesses are closed because if they were not, they'd contribute to the spread of the virus, with or without universal masking, though masking would mitigate the spread to some degree. Of course, assuming everyone is wearing one all the time is doing a lot of work in that explanation.
Incidentally, it is sort of bizarre that the folks who are most eager to "open things back up" are often the most hostile to masks, enhanced testing, and contact tracing and all of the other things that would enable said opening...

Because masks are being worn to not catch/spread the virus.
If you don't want to catch it, stay the frick at home.
I don't get the fear of catching it. You catch it, you get sick, you get over it.
If you're at risk of death if you catch it, then don't go out AT ALL.
I, as a 35 year old male, who has zero contact with anyone at risk of death if they catch it, should not have to stay home indefinitely.
We are wrecking the economy for NOTHING.

In his world, EVERYTHING is binary.
And he is not alone. Just look at his upvote ratio.
