I don't know why we have to keep repeating this, but apparently, we do.
Masks stop YOU from infecting other people. YOU wear them to protect others because the mask stops all your spit particles. Whenever EVERYONE wears one, the transmission rate goes down.
Just like social distancing. If the spit cloud can't reach you, you don't get infected.
Vaccines and long term. define long term. How long do you think it should be?
Then think about your total lack of willingness to take any measures to stop the spread.
How many people would die in the time you would wait?
