Um, little late to say this isn't it? I always thought the "my mask protects you, your mask protects me" messaging was flawed since humans are selfish in nature.

Pretty sure that was always the case. Theyre just stressing it harder because there are so many if you wear a mask why do I have to?! types.

Nope. You probably got your news from a better source. CDC has generally been months late with a lot of their info.

Everyone has said for months that masks offer little to no protection from the wearer, and that mask wearing was recommended to prevent the spread of the disease asymptomatically.

There was information that came out recently that the viral load you taken in when infected with COVID-19 may have an effect on the severity of your illness. With that in mind, it makes sense that wearing a mask would protect you as well.

I heard masks protect the wearer since March/April. It was part of the original narrative for saving them for the health care workers. You aren't coming into contact with covid people daily. The health care people need masks to protect themselves.

Obviously it does. How would it not? Even if it's like 10%. It obviously blocks your face holes from easy access. I was never gonna let anybodies "information" tell me something so obvious wasn't the case. I would of wore it regardless. Gotta stop letting these people think for you for the most basic obvious shit.

N95 masks are bidirectional protection. If you're not using a N95 mask there's a good chance you're only protecting yourself. That includes those stupid ass huge face masks with the "breathing cap" on the front.

Don't use those. Use the ones medical professionals use. They use them for a reason.

You mean in separate buildings? Virtually none.

Good that the CDC is finally appealing to American selfishness.

Anyone not wearing a mask doesnt argue they just dont. GA seems to not give any fucks about masks.

People say that this is common knowledge then you go to the protests where mask wearing was definitely not as common and there was tear gas

boom: riots and protests did not spread COVID

It says virtually none if two people are in separate buildings.

I'm sorry but if you thought masks didn't do anything when people in biohazardy environments (like surgeons) wear them compulsorily wear them, you deserve to be Darwin'd out
