    If half the population wears a mask during a pandemic, it won’t slow the spread very much.

    Leaving safety measures as a personal choice for contagious diseases is like letting everyone decide whether or not they want to stop at red lights based on personal preference. Sure, you can be in a rural area and pretty much ignore most stoplights without a collision, but in a city the negative effects will be rapid and deadly.

      Sure but I don’t think we are in the pandemic anymore.

      Again wear a mask or don’t. I don’t give a shit. I’m personally done with them until rates start to spike again, or for when I travel on an airplane.
