People not wearing a mask correctly is a failure of the public health system, not a data point against the validity of proper mask wearing. I’m not shocked people in Kansas are being dumbasses, no offense. That’s not a valid point against proper mask wearing lowering the transmission rate. The issue is people thinking it’s 100% vs. 0%. To be more direct, the issue is people thinking donning a mask is an affront to Donald Trump.I was unaware I'm hurt to the core.
Has there been any evidence that the masks are beneficial to stopping or slowing spread? 90% of the ones I saw around here last winter/spring were homemade abominations.
And to be fair, it goes well beyond U.S. politics. There are segments of other populations that think masks are some weird affront to freedom. It’s a weird ethos, but it exists. These people are all scared of their own shadow, er, some nebulous world order.
