No man, please just accept that the masks don't make a bit of difference.
Australia has zero covid now not because they mandated masks or had a lock down - they have zero cases because it's summer. It was pretty much finished in Europe all summer too. Many places in Europe had and have mask mandates and it didn't make any fucking difference even with everyone wearing them.
We're getting fed contradicting information since the start of this shit.
First we were told masks don't do shit, now we have to wear them.
2-3 months ago aspirin and ibuprofen made covid worse, now they reduce hospitalizations by 50%
First children do not pose big risk of spread, now they are biggest spreaders.
Lockdowns are our only hope, now WHO recommends against lockdowns.
Don't use cash because it's dirty, use cards instead. But then sign the card receipt wtih the pen they give you or press your pin code into the pad that everyone who bites their nails touch.
Nothing can be done and nothing can prevent it.
As for personal freedoms, we work online so we look at shit differently. Hell, since everyone is locked inside business is fucking BOOMING. I've never made so much money as this year. But what if you run a shoe store in a mall? And they closed down malls? What if you ran a restaurant and they closed down all bars and restaurants like here? Here they closed down restaurants last week, close malls on saturday while offering next to no help to those businesses. Peoples livelihoods are getting destroyed instantly with no recourse. We can't travel, we can't do anything. They closed down fucking cemeteries before day of the dead here. Like 4 hours before. All those people that sell flowers and candles outside of the cemeteries got fucked.
