To Mask or Not To Mask?

Fortunately for me, all the volunteer jobs that I currently work at (two farms and a food pantry) are real good about expecting all the volunteers to wear masks.

If they didn't, I would volunteer at those places until the virus pandemic gets a lot better at some point.

Stay safe, Mike.

You stay safe as well, Jolly. And everyone else stay safe too.

Minnesoooooota has a statewide mask requirement beginning later this week for indoors or any situation when social distancing is not possible.

The problem with satire these days is that there are a lot of imbeciles out there who do not recognize it.

I wonder how the people around him resist the temptation to push his head into the toilet and pull his underpants over his head.

@Mik I have to believe Cheryl is a comedian.

Show me in the article where it explains the scientific basis for masks being ineffective.

I am mask-agnostic, being of the mind "it couldn't hurt," and so I wear one any time I'm out of the house.

However, the burden of proof is that you have to show that they work.

I've read several articles and even watched a VR simulation of droplet & aerosol spreading, showing how masks of various fiber densities are effective in dampening the spread. It's not like this shit's a secret.
