    I realize all of that. I think it keeps people further away from me while out shopping, thus the psychological barrier helps more than any filtering.

      All of what he said is wrong though. All masks help even if just a bit. N95/kn100’s help a ton. I use a black kn100 everyday, it fits great, super comfy, and looks great. https://ppeo.com/goods/black-kn100-mask/

      Covid is something to worry about because it affects every organ in the body causing organ damage and brain damage. Long Covid gives people possibly life long disabilities and 1 in 10 infections cause Long Covid (and most people are getting 2-3 infections a year)

        Despite the original double vax, and every suggested booster, I’m pretty sure I caught it from my dentist in July 2022. I was still wearing a mask everywhere at that point, with a KN95 in any situation where I’d be near people for extended situations.

        I’ve had the flu 3 times in my life. This was as bad as the worst of them, with a completely lost week.

        That said, I am hyper cautious around others and will still keep wearing my ‘please maintain your distance’ sign.
