Sadly the science tells us that wearing a mask neither protects you nor anyone else. It is a classic case of virtue signaling about an issue that people feel the need and desire to do something, anything to show they care regardless of whether it actually accomplishes anything. I have been warning people for a year about the false sense of security masks provide and have been advocating for social distancing, hygiene, etc. Turns out I was right on the former and wrong on the latter. I knew the masks provided very little protection based on my own experience in the environmental business and the fact that I suffer from CFS....common f'ing sense. When people say they will wear the face diaper because it "might" help I want to bang my head on the desk. The science says it won't but people are so illiterate that they will grasp at anything.
