(BTW, why the downvotes for the original poster? He is not advocating not wearing masks, just expressing his personal unease with them, and asking for evidence. FWIW, I also don't like them, and nevertheless think one should wear them (like condoms)).

- hadron_bumper 6y agoIt always baffled me how people keep demanding "evidence" for the benefits of wearing masks when even a simple observation provides it. There's plenty of videos of experiments you can conduct yourself (like the the aerosol ones or just people trying to blow out a candle) showing how masks stop spreading the virus. Also, have a look at you own monitor screen. See all the funny, dirty dots? That's your spit. Does that compute now?
