If you are outside and can maintain 6+ feet (or whatever) you don;t need to wear a mask. If you are walking into a public building - Doesn't it kinda just make sense for now that you cover your face for your own good and those of others around you?


I think wearing a mask sucks and it is your ultimate choice to wear one, but FFS have some common sense and courtesy (and respect for others).

What in the current situation we are currently in has changed the science behind how PPE works? It didn't make sense before to wear anything other than a properly certified filtration respirator to protect you from a communicable disease, what has changed in order for you to say this?

Here's a hint: absolutely nothing has changed. You wearing a homemade mask to protect yourself from something as small as a virus is as effective as wearing a perforated condom and thinking it's safe sex because it might stop some of the HIV. The science hasn't changed.
