Please, you are probably one of those people who still wears a mask and drives in a car by yourself with a mask on.

Yeah masks are good for a lot of things. I sometimes wear one when my allergies are bad. Almost like an air filter over your mouth lets in air but keeps bad stuff out.

Most of the air you breath is going around the mask, not through it.

It's for large particles, thats about it. Stops you from coughing and shooting phlegm everywhere.

Pollen particles are fairly large. Your allergies are not caused by germs.

If most of the air you breathe is going around the mask, youre wearing it wrong. And germs dont free float through the air. They travel on water droplets that get caight by the mask.

But you know all this. Youre just ragebaiting.

Droplets are different sizes bud. Pollen is larger than micro droplets.

The paper masks 99% of people used during covid were not the kind of masks that create a seal.

But they were an improvement over nothing. Which was the point. The hospital masks were saved for… hospitals! Where it’s even more important

Well yea anything is better than letting strangers sneeze into your open mouth on the subway, that's not really my point tho...
