I mean, it will help. It's not gonna 100% protect, but it will lower transmission at least some amount.

Of course the other issue is people who have masks on do treat it as 100% protection and start being stupid like the jackass 75 year old man at the grocery store last week that reached around me to get something and when I told him to back off and wait his turn he said it's okay he has a mask on.

True story -- I was on the herd immunity or else train until these states opened back up and cases started going way up. So now, for the most part I think the left is right that things need to stay SUPER careful here. You're allowed to change your mind when presented with new information. The problem is they've lied so much to people and have changed their minds so often that they could say you need oxygen to live and half the country wouldn't believe them.

They're also terrible with money and economics. UBI and printing infinite money at the fed is not going to fix this, and an economic depression would kill more people than corona even if the entire planet caught it. There are an estimated 7.8 billion people on earth. Assuming a 4% death rate (a very high number), 312 million die if the entire planet catches coronavirus.

In a true collapse from depression, you could have well over a billion people starve in the third world alone. What is the actual solution here? I'm seriously asking. Both of those options I just listed suck ass.
