but if everyone wears one correctly I understand it reduces risk. Nothing will eliminate risk. I think from your postings you are anti establishment? Or anti current establishment? I follow some folks on You tube I think similar in beliefs.
as far as colds go no one I know who usually had gotten colds has had any kind of sickness since wearing masks. And it is our effort to try and not inadvertently give the virus to some unsuspecting soul who doesn’t believe they help. Non mask wears could be asymptomatic carriers and pass it along.
As far as all your medical relatives - the dreaded main stream media has a lot of postings from different medical professionals who wear masks all day in surgery and such and have not had any dire consequences. No CO2 poisoning. No extra colds. At least from all the ones I see. Of course there are outliers and folks will do what it takes to validate their own beliefs. I guess I am doing that. Many of my relatives are in hard sciences with advanced degrees so I like to listen to them.
