not exactly, it is proven by trusted scientists that masks do a justice in slowing the spread of covid 19. do some research outside of fox news and facebook rants and you will find that masks work. no, they do not work 100%, but that is not a reason to not wear it. it is harder to spread covid 19 while wearing a mask than not. when covid is gone, we can return to our normal lives. there may be people that wear masks after that, and that is fine. we just need to do a small service now to help later. how has austrailia eliminated all/most covid cases? through social distancing, lockdowns, and mask wearing. now they can go out mask free because there is nothing to worry about. do a lot of other countries deny masks because freedom? is it a patriotic act to not wear a mask in your mind? how come we have the most cases in the world right now, and if it is due to the amount of people here, why doesn't india or china have more cases? its because of the little regulations and opening everything up like texas and florida.
