Right from the start I've shared some of Steve's doubts about the competence of most mask wearers.

Though personally I err on the side of caution, in case masks do provide at least a little protection...???

However, I believe a primary function of masks,
is as a visual social symbol that the majority of citizens take this pandemic seriously.

Unity of purpose, solidarity, the preparedness to act responsibly
in the face of potential mass death.

I wear a mask as a two fingers up protest to all the arsehole far right covid deniers ...
