The top medical experts in the world cant decide if masks are helpful in
reducing the spread of COVID-19 or just make things worse

Denmark boasts one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates in the world. As of
August 4, the Danes have suffered 616 COVID-19 deaths, according to
figures from Johns Hopkins University.

And Taiwan has had just 7 deaths and they do wear masks.

Applied to
masks, the message is the same. Even if there is some question as to the
effectiveness of masks, we should be using them. It's just a freaking mask
folks.


I bet if someone took some of these "masks" that people have been
reusing since Easter and cultured them, opinions about their safety
would change. I bet they make a toilet seat at the port authority look
clean. People still put them on their face and breathe through them.
