More masks....

[George K]

We've gone around and around on masks, as has the government.

I've yet to see a well-done study that shows they're effective, in and of themselves.

As @Doctor-Phibes commented, those who are wearing masks are probably more likely to engage in other risk-reducing behaviors, and that's probably true.

It would be nice if just mask-compliance could be isolated and examined.

But wait, there's more!

Most people used the cheap procedure masks during the pandemic. Most of those were Chinese and not subject to the most rigorous quality control or testing.

Wonder how many microplastic particles are now embedded in people's lungs and what the long term consequences will be?

I’m still using 3M 1820s which I got pre-pandemic. Well maybe a box or two came from eBay in the early days when it was still possible to buy them.

You're one of the very few...

Indeed it became impossible to buy them and I was lucky to have already had a stash and also to have been an early purchaser once the pandemic did start.
