So, masks don’t stop viruses and now cause microbial infection. Hey, lets all mask up again. We now can get Covid and Microbial infection at same time.
As I was saying yesterday to someone who says they still wear a mask everytime they go indoors, masks harbor fungus and bacteria. People touch them constantly which completely defeats the purpose. You are not helping anyone. The person insisted he was doing the right thing. Now this study comes out. Will he rethink this? Probably not. But maybe someone else will.
Masks are intended to be worn by the sick person to keep them from spewing their spittle when they cough. No the healthy person.
I was on an airplane this past Saturday from Spokane to Denver. The lady directly behind me was coughing throughout the entire flight.
She was not wearing a mask. I personally wish she was.
I had a similar incident flying from Boston to Cancun about 25 years ago. I woke up two days later with a fever and the exact same cough as the woman behind me on the airplane. It ruined my vacation.
