@strypey Even if you're not really a fan of masks, there are contexts in which they are absolutely appropriate, and I think there's a VERY strong argument for the use of masks in all medical settings, even if COVID didn't exist entirely.
I agree that masks by the general public in most settings are a hard sell, and *should* have been a temporary measure until health authorities could get proper air filtration and circulation regulations in place, but that didn't happen.
