As for masks, I still see people wearing bandanas and scarves all the time, and my understanding is these are much less effective than even a simple surgical mask. I think your bar is much too low, sounds like you’re saying as long as we’re doing more than nothing that’s good enough.
There’s no excuse almost a year in that there exist masks which are significantly more effective than what most people are wearing and we’re making no effort to encourage people to use them.

That's not what I meant, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. What I meant was that we're doing a number of different things that aren't perfect... and I constantly see people complain about it not being perfect so why are we doing it... and my response is that every little bit helps. I agree that we can and should be doing more. I just think saying what is being done now is mostly useless theater is ridiculous and dangerous, and results in people not bothering to take even basic precautions "because it doesn't help".
