This corona virus situation seems to have more sides and
opinions than hairs on our head. You can
debate where it came from, how it started and why it progressed as it did. We can posit why so many died in nursing
homes in New York and PA but not in many other places. But the thing we seem to fight over the most
is mask or no mask!
Besides the obvious lack of authority by the government to
mandate mask wearing and mandate businesses be the gate keeper of this mandate,
is there evidence that makes mask wearing a good idea? Maybe, maybe not is the
answer. It depends on the stated objective of mask wearing.
