but you SHOULD wear one out of respect when it is reasonable and possible to do so.

Who determines what is reasonable and shouldn't you also respect the wishes of those who think masks are not effective so in turn they don't wear one? If restaurant A has a no mask policy and you want to go eat there and wear a mask, expect for eating purposes, are you saying those unmasked people SHOULD wear one out of respect to you and Dr. Fauci?

Look. Masks can help, and anyone with a lick of common sense and logic can deduce that.

Yes, by filtering out a whopping THREE PERCENT of particles! (study of healthcare workers in 1,600 hospitals)

Wearing a mask is like pissing on a raging forest fire then saying you "helped".

Reality is that it likely extended the lulls on those curves, albeit they eventually spike up.

No, the reality is that masks created a security blanket effect. People felt less the need to social distance as long as they had their all-powerful mask on.

Social distancing is the better preventative, but even that is only a delaying tactic. With the R0 of this thing, everyone is going to end up getting it. Every. One. Thinking that it's going to simply give up, take its ball and go home because it has less patience than we do is a complete and utter denial of reality.

The only real preventative is to get it, go through it and then enjoy the immunity afterward. THIS is why we need a vaccine, anything else is just another delaying tactic.
