Universal mask wearing reduces transmission by something like 80%.

Total BS. The mask is a combination AIDS ribbon and security blanket. It does little except remind the wearer that they are under the control of the state which mandates wearing them.

The medical personnel that treated Chinus patients wore masks and PPE, yet a number of them got ill from it, even with masks.

And how do you eat at a restaurant with a mask on? If you keep taking it off to eat your run the risk of contamination.
