The frustrating part of the whole mask issue is that it was turned into a political ping ball ball. The government should have never issued mask mandates or closures to begin with. Now we have people on both sides of the issue turning it into some kind of goofy symbolism.
Do masks reduce the spread of Covid? I honestly have my doubts. I think it has become a "woobie" for many people. Like a superman cape for a 4 year old. I will admit to wondering if masks are responsible for less flu cases this year. then again, I also wonder if flu cases are being called Covid and disappearing in the statistics. Like folks who have died from COPD at 88 years old. There are many, many instances popping up now of hospital staff being encouraged to call it Covid no matter the real reason for death.
