Not true. Even simple surgical masks have been shown to reduce virus loads by up to 90%.

"One of the main problems seems to be that people get wearing the mask, but they don’t seem to understand proper wearing of the mask and that yes, you can get it if you’re touching everything and then touching your face."

Which doesn't make a difference, if wearing a mask is rather pointless, right? In formal logic this is called performative contradiction.

The rest of the article is just cheap badmouthing.

What is proven by putting together photos or videos showing people who are failing to properly use their masks? Don't you think it is possible to assemble a website of Republicans failing in the same way?

The most disappointing for me is, the RedState article does not address the question, if wearing masks should be made mandatory on public transport or not. Everything we know about the virus suggests that this is a useful measure to prevent infections.

So why did you post it? Make someone you do not like look bad? We both know you can do much better than that.
