Sorry, Steve, but I still think you are wrong. You cannot prove to me, nor I to you, that a mask will make matters better or worse. You believe it will make things worse. I, and most of the medical and scientific community, believe it will make things better. I know who I will go with. You may well be a scientist but I am a computer engineer with many years of experience in troubleshooting. The first thing I ask when things go wrong is "What has changed?" I cannot say for certain what made the difference this time because so many rules altered. But one of them was the relaxation of wearing masks. Let us roll back the changes until the spread of the virus halts. The easiest one is to reintroduce the wearing of masks. I, for one, will go with that.
