»Masking is not ‘living in fear’, it's being smart to avoid damage to your health from a deadly disease. It also protects others, which we should all be doing.«

@novid @anti_disease wearing a mask does not protect you from catching covid. Wearing a mask prevents you from spreading covid!
@lizmeyer You’re misinformed. N95 and better do protect the wearers. 🤷🏻♀️
What you said about masking to only prevent your own spread of COVID really applied to cloth masks, mostly. While one-way masking isn't as great as everyone wearing a mask, a good, well fitting mask will prevent most transmission. A lot of people are still hung up on the idea that "masks don't work" because they're using data and info from cloth masks.
@lizmeyer @BE @anti_disease it also applies to surgical masks, they don't really protect the wearer either. N95/FFP2 do, though
@BE @anti_disease Thanks for the clarification. It all seems so long ago, now.
