Wearing masks as added protection
Who here feels like mask mandates should have never been lifted? I understand people and their “freedom”or “rights” but I don’t see why it’s so hard to wear a mask? I feel very uncomfortable when I’m around people in the stores not wearing masks, yet I wear double masks. I know they don’t necessarily protect you from getting the virus but it just makes me feel a little more safe out in public with a baby at home I need to protect. I had gotten this so called “vaccine” and ended up very sick afterwards for over. A month and half - developed tachycardia, shortness of breath etc. my doctor told me she found it very suspicious the day after receiving the vaccine I had developed all these symptoms and recommended I wait to get my second dose if even.

Mayo Clinic researchers recently published a study that shows the proper use of masks reduces the spread of respiratory droplets. The findings strongly support the protective value and effectiveness of widespread mask use and maintaining physical distance in reducing the spread of COVID-19.

To quote Dr. Elie Berbari, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases physician, "Masks don't work unless we wear them."
As of August 2 Mayo Clinic reinstated universal masking for the safety of patients, visitors and staff.
