First of all a mask does nada. I wore a mask everywhere I went and still ended up with COVID. Didn't even know i had it or suspect it until I lost my sense of smell. Confirmed it afterwards with an antibody test. I have had colds worse than this. I did have lingering tiredness for about 10 days and it was significant feeling of being tired, but it really wasn't anything. Crazy that some people get it and die...then people like my wife and I barely feel a thing.

Come on man. No one is perfect in their mask wearing. At some point you were around family, friends, and/or strangers without it. The problem isn't those wearing masks. Are masks a be all prevention? Of course not. But, they absolutely help. Glad you only had minor symptoms.

They dont help at all except to make you believe your safe. Distancing helps, but most people are most certainly getting it by what they touch not what they breath.

The Danish study, which is the only significant one to be done, determined masks provide no protection against getting or giving the virus. Youre just wrong.
