Not a problem. Btw I’ve mentioned on here somewhere, I think it’s the coronavirus thread in the politics section, that I wear masks also due to the fact that they could be super effective. I just am not sure. In confined spaces? I’d bet on it. When you’re sick as hell and coughing or sneezing all the time? Yep, helps there too. I’ve had to remind people that during flu season if you have a doctor appointment and have symptoms or a cough etc, they request you wear a mask prior to arrival. This applies to having an appointment for strep throat symptoms too. So masks aren’t new in that aspect.
But sometimes I feel like what if masks are just to make people feel like they’re doing something, when in reality it makes no difference if you aren’t sick. People would freak the hell out if we were told there is nothing you could do.

Do I think masks are foolproof? Absolutely not
Do I think they help? Absolutely
Same goes for social distancing, lockdowns (to an extent), and a general increasing of clean health practices.
However, the BIGGEST deterrent to the spread is where we have failed the most... and that's being responsible about tracking exposures and self quarantining... I have had a coworker take his son to get tested (because he lost his sense of smell and taste), then text us that his kid was positive... and then he went to work the next day. LIKE, WTF? You literally have your child, in your house, in your car, etc... confirmed positive, and you come to work the next day?

That's not what the data says. We did all that, got a huge spike anyways. So bad that DC is telling us to lockdown again. The stuff we are doing today, we were doing when the spike occurred. It didn't stop much of anything. How many businesses should be bankrupted because it might work? Because data says it didn't. Whitmer and the dems have been lying the whole time. They never knew, it's always been a guess. They guessed wrong.

I have had 3 times in the last school year where one of my kids sat within 6ft of a kid who tested positive. So they sit all day by this kid, now they have to stay home for 2 weeks because of close contact. The health department tells me that my wife, other kids and myself can go to school and work because we are considered 3rd party contact, even after spending all weekend around our close contact kid. However the kid who tested positive is allowed to return to school after 10 days.
So I drop my kid off at school, at the principal is asking me questions about if my kid had any symptoms during their quarantine. I said nope, she must be asymptomatic. The look on her face was epic.
