noxcatHad to explain to someone, yet again, how all these face masks actually work. The mask doesn't protect the wearer at all. It protects the other people out there from the pathogens the wearer spreads with every exhale. If one is truly worried about personally getting infected with COVID, instead of wearing a mask while out, they should simply stay home and limit visitors.
The mask is a sign of awareness that one is a part of a society, and that one is aware of the fact that their behaviors could have wide reaching negative consequences. It's not simple "political correctness" like a certain idiot in the White House claims,

I almost literally broke down in tears Friday night at the idea of eating any one of the extremely limited options we have on hand for dinner that night, so we order takeout from the local Thai place we like (only ONE entree, split!) and watched AKA Jane Roe. Interesting to finally hear her say she switched sides 'for the money' and not a legitimate change of heart. It was also interesting to hear that my low opinion of Operation Rescue was spot on from the start. Back in the day I marched against them when they came to my town. And I would do it again, if my legs and heat intolerance would let me. I pray for the people who would try to prevent a woman or doctor from doing what they decide is best for that woman.

My new laptop is here. (!!!) Now the question is how to get it set up for me. But we have a service contract with Geek Squad, so I'm sure they'll be involved in that.
