Steve - I can't say my scepticism is too different to yours..

I'll put up with the discomforts of wearing masks,
in the absence of any other better proven tangible self defense
against the potentially lethal mass morons in society..

Where we differ, is I'll keep doubtful negative opinions on masks quietly to myself.

When liberal/lefty smartarses like us air our doubts publicly,
all that does is further legitimise and enable
the selfishly undisciplined far right libertarian anti masker covidiots...

They love it when we sound like we agree with them...
