What everyone needs to keep in mind is that the face coverings ARE NOT FOR YOU. Truthfully I feel like there is a 1% chance it may help a little, but that is just my feeling. Face masks are to help YOU from being a carrier and giving it to others. No one REALLY knows if they have Covid or not, because even if you were tested, you could have gotten it 5 minutes later.
So basically because people don't want to help others from possibly transmitting this deadly (to some) virus, businesses are requiring it. Here in Florida I noticed a LOT less people wearing a mask last weekend than I had the weekend before. People are getting tired of it (myself included), however I do wear a mask when I am in businesses with a lot of people and social distancing is harder. I am 0.1% worried about catching this thing myself, I just would hate to know I am a carrier and I have/had given it to others.
Thats kind of how I feel about a guy I play cards with. He wants to have a card game but also has cancer and is just finishing chemo treatments sooo.... he really shouldnt be around people.
I really think they need to just figure out a policy to keep it out of nursing homes and let the rest of us go back to normal. And not the "new normal" they want to push... normal normal.
