There are dumb people everywhere. Nobody has said the mask is going to save you from it. It's to try and slow the spread, almost specifically because there are so many cases of COVID that are so mild or asymptomatic that people might not even know they have it when they are out.
I get that it's easy to fall in love with this romantic idea that everything is tied into this massive international, intergovernmental, multi-media controlled, Doctor fueled, child molesting control play, but sometimes a little common sense doesn't make you a sheep, nor does being a skeptic.
Honestly, it's the ultimate argument to take because you don't need the burden of proof, and nobody can disprove the argument anymore than you can disprove aliens or God exist. If you're right, you get bragging rights. If you're wrong, well, another spin and another "well, it's a huge cover up and the more powerful and rich players are winning". So there is no way to lose the argument.
For the record, I do believe there is a lot of misinformation being put out there by governments, media, doctors etc. On both sides, all over the world. It's hard to sort through it. But I'm on record saying I still don't buy into the massive international conspiracy narrative.
Certain soft drinks now taste like crap to me....including my previous favorites, Coke/Pepsi/Cherry Coke/Cherry Pepsi. Evidently this is a pretty common thing--months after recovering, tastes change. That's not cool at all.
