Yes, we should have been wearing masks all along, just as Sanjai Gupta said long ago.

This has got to go a long way to protect people from other viruses as well.  I wonder how many flu cases could be avoided during its normal season if everyone was wearing masks?

@Jasmine19 

Even without experts, this rationale makes sense.  Thanks for sharing clear visual.

@Jasmine19Good poster.  Works for me -   I don't want to shop, play, or eat where people are maskless.   That's my "law."   So far, at the very few he places I've chosen to go, close to 100% are masked.

I wear it when going out into a store because I'm required to.  However I hate wearing it!

 

Sure it does help prevent spreding illness but I sure hope when we're past this pandemic that it won't become the norm ...you know just in case.

@geezerette Doe this mean that you would like to see people wearing masks out in public forever into the future?

 

I'm really not okay with that and there are plenty of others who feel the same way.

The better question is WHY NOT?  It might help keep you healthy and/or alive.  It doesn't hurt you. SO,

 

WHY NOT?
