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 Flügge had suggested for the operating theatre. Most masks were washable and the metal parts could be sterilised and €œthus permit the use of the mask for a long time€�, as one US inventor explained, who had a medical mask
patented in 1919."
