Wearing a proper mask that actually substantially reduces the chance of contracting or spreading covid is uncomfortable. As many of us have been saying from the beginning (including the CDC initially!) the cloth masks are just the medical equivalent of TSA security theater. Right now they just function as a little badge to indicate which "team" you're on.
- chitowneats 5y agoI cannot understand why this is being downvoted. We would have all been wearing N95's long ago if they weren't difficult for frontline workers to use 8 hours a day. People care about their own health by and large. They will use reasonable strategies for mitigation and reject those that are cumbersome. The people pushing N95 mask requirements are not the same people required to wear them 40 hours a week. The people pushing non-N95 mask requirements are confused about the effectiveness of non-N95 "masks".
