Cabmando made a solid counter-point that you have not refuted - masks can not be singled out as saving any country that also has massively scary programs for any who might sneeze or step out of line, or out on to a street. Those other countries ALSO do not report stats accurately. For the longest time Hong Kong had ZERO deaths (reported) while remote counties spun up around the world. ..and when Hong Kong disallowed masks? (now what?)

The abandonment of logic and reason is on those jumping up and down about "Masks Work you effn Maroon" (or whatever) They have singular focus. "The mask" --homemade, leaky around the edges....whatever MUST be WORN! - Else you are anti-science-ah (evangelical accent)

1918 Flu. They too had people clinging to masks as a solution. Without any govt mandate they became hugely popular. Death kept coming. Everywhere.

We should all be VERY happy that this virus is not a huge threat to the majority of the population. Well, for most, exposure to the virus is a non-event.

Or, go door to door Caj.
