How does wearing a mask effect an economy?

If it is too dangerous to be out without a mask then we don't need to be doing non essential stuff like dining out, bars, flying on airplanes, going to a yoga class and loads of other stuff.

Studies confirm this has little effect on the economy.

Let him roll and DD too.

I ain’t buying in. :x

This wimp saw the mask test (actual aerosol spread test) and the difference they made in spreading germs. Super significant. Amazingly so.

I am glad to see them being used.

Interesting facts on the flu. I fully believe the protocols for Covid are doing that. Kids yeah.... little flu spreading shits :laughing

Makes sense.
 
For what it's worth, in several Asian countries (such as Japan and South Korea), it has been the norm for many many years to wear a mask in public when you suspect you are sick with a cold or flu or something you could transmit to others. It's essentially considered common courtesy. While I don't have any hard data to support this, I wouldn't be surprised if such a social norm contributed to a much lower infection rate in these countries while simultaneously avoiding the severe, lengthy lockdowns we've seen here in the US.

I wanted to go with choice "C" all the way down.

"C" means "we're screwed no matter what we do or don't do".

Makes sense.

Two new articles, one the CDC points to mask wearing to lessen transfer and the other talks about kids, (and adults), who's symptoms do not go away.

I'm wearing my mask.

Can you imagine being a parent and having a child with symptoms for months! :wtf
