You don't NEED to wear a mask to live a normal life. Lot's of people
don't see any need to wear a mask, and we're fine.
And covid is blowing up all around you.

So much drama!
Real men, like President Trump, don't hide from a little virus. He
caught the Wuhan-19, took the cure and a few days later was back at work.
Real men are not so vain that they are afraid to wear a mask to protect
others. You instead, are a wimp, like trump, too afraid to do something
for others because you are afraid or how you might look.
"It was mainly the use of the mask to cover the mouth and nose (and
beard) during the Manchurian plague of 1910€“11 and the influenza
pandemic of 1918€“19 that turned the face mask into a means of protecting
medical workers and patients from infectious diseases outside of the
operating room. During the 1918€“19 influenza pandemic, wearing a mask
became mandatory for police forces, medical workers, and even residents
in some US cities, although its use was often controversial. Yet in
cities like San Francisco, the decline in deaths from influenza was
partly attributed to the mandatory mask-wearing policies. At this point,
the rationale for wearing masks moved beyond their original use in the
operating theat they now also protected the wearer against infection.
Meanwhile, masks continued to be developed in medicine. Although medical
practitioners agreed on the general function of the mask, in the first
decades of the 20th century they attempted to determine the most
efficient type of masks and there were patents on various designs. Masks
were usually made of several layers of cotton gauze, sometimes with an
additional layer of impervious material, held by a metal frame. Their
main goal was to prevent respiratory droplets from being transmitted
from and to the wearer, as Mikulicz and FlĂĽgge had suggested for the
operating theatre. Most masks were washable and the metal parts could be
sterilised and €śthus permit the use of the mask for a long time€ť, as one
US inventor explained, who had a medical mask patented in 1919."
