The public believes if you put on a mask you are safe, and stopping the spread, that is absolutely, dangerously false.

Covid is a contact virus. Time and concentration of exposure all that matter,(aircraft are non-risk due to low concentration from ventilation) masks are completely irrelevant. From the CDC....

Keep repeating it, maybe some day it will come true.
Masks are a simple barrier to help prevent your respiratory droplets from reaching others. Studies show that masks reduce the spray of droplets when worn over the nose and mouth.
You should wear a mask, even if you do not feel sick. This is because several studies have found that people with COVID-19 who never develop symptoms (asymptomatic) and those who are not yet showing symptoms (pre-symptomatic) can still spread the virus to other people. The main function of wearing a mask is to protect those around you, in case you are infected but not showing symptoms.
It is especially important to wear a mask when you are unable to stay at least 6 feet apart from others since COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Evidence for Effectiveness of Masks
Your mask helps protect those around you
COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets travel into the air when you cough, sneeze, talk, shout, or sing. These droplets can then land in the mouths or noses of people who are near you or they may breathe these droplets in.Masks are a simple barrier to help prevent your respiratory droplets from reaching others.

Your mask offers some protection to you
A cloth mask also offers some protection to you too. How well it protects you from breathing in the virus likely depends on the fabrics used and how your mask is made (e.g. the type of fabric, the number of layers of fabric, how well the mask fits). CDC is currently studying these factors.

Masks have statistically zero effect on reducing the spread of this virus. The proof is in practice, this notion that non-mask wears are spreading the virus more than mask wears has absolutely zero proof.

Covid has been here since December and there is evidence that it was even here in November. We are nowhere near 650k deaths. Especially since motorcycle crashes and cancer deaths are being counted as covid. Also, what proof do you have that hospitals are getting close to capacity “in many areas”? I remember MSM making those claims the last go around, I would be by those same hospitals and nothing was going on. There were even people going to emergency rooms, asking staff and there was no apocalypse. Unless you go to these hospitals and physically confirm that in fact is happening, it’s just media hype.
