I don't buy that. I won't pretend they'll stop the spread, but there's no way they don't stop some of the contagion. Especially for my kid wearing the 95 version. For me they keep me more aware of staying out of people's faces and encourage others to stay out of mine, if nothing else.

of course it helps that the absence of a strong anti-vaxxer movement (an index of social cohesion if there ever was one) is not hampering vaccine intake in Australia
There is a mountain of evidence that regular hospital masks (what most people are wearing) work to reduce the spread of covid.
I for one look forward to many of my fellow Americans getting red pilled.
People went to the streets.
Thats why they are lightening restrictions.
They were facing anarchy.
