I read an article that said some states are going back to mask mandates in hospitals and my first thought was "Yeah, how'd that work out last time ?"
www.foxnews.com...
The reason I think they're useless is because of people. During the lockdowns, mandates and restrictions during Covid, I saw dozens of people not wearing them properly. They would walk into a store with it hanging around their neck or even more ridiculous, I saw people who would stop outside to talk to someone they knew and would pull their mask down to talk. I saw people who would pull their mask down to sneeze or cough and then pull it back up.
I saw this same thing dozens of time at least and that was just in my area.
Imagine that all over the U.S.
My wife said people would come in the hospital to see a patient and would wear their mask till they got in the room, then off they came. Of course everybody had to give a hug and kiss on the cheek when it came time to leave and then back on with the mask.
All that and not to mention people wearing homemade masks, some of them color co ordinated to match their outfit of the day and made of whatever material they had lying around.
The most ironic one I saw was a guy wearing one that said "Don't Tread On Me" across the front. I had to fight the urge to tell him to just go ahead and get a boot print tattooed on his throat.
We won't even talk about those 14 vaccines and the 57 boosters that "kept you safe".
There's a new variant going around and for 2 days last week I felt kinda rough. Was it the new Covid ? *shrug* Dunno. Didn't get tested. Just stayed home took some Mucinex and watched TV.
Fact of the matter is, if there's a virus going around, unless you are in an airtight room till it's completely eradicated, sooner or later you are going to be exposed.

I'm not sure you're 100% correct on the mask issue!
Reason being, I wore a mask and for 2 and half years didn't catch any flu/covid and then when i disposed of it, I caught Covid/Flu, so for me it did work and I was travelling on the trains during Covid.... not daily or weekly but I was travelling back and forth.
that proves it for me. I will double mask for twice the protection!
