I don't want to be "that guy", but I'm starting to question the efficacy of masks.
I've been a big supporter of masks since the beginning. I still think their biggest role might be lowering the amount of virus you get when you're around an infectious person. If so, that's still a potentially huge benifit. I will continue wearing my mask each day for this reason alone.
But at this point we're seeing such accelerated spread all over the country and all over the world. We have political leaders standing at podiums telling us we're failing at social distancing, wearing masks, etc. Frankly, it's getting old.
Did the entire world just decide to stop with the masks and social distancing? Is that why cases are going up? I think not. I do think people are tired of the restrictions, but I don't think that's why there is such an increase in cases.
There's something else going on that we're not seeing. Yet.
