If you wear a mask, no wonder they were laughing. A couple things come to mind. Get your sunglasses. With your mask on, make believe you're cleaning your glasses. You'll noticed you were able to fog up your glasses through the mask. So how is a virus stopped, if water vapor is able to get through so easy? The other thing, go and find yourself some published peer reviews that support the idea masks stop viruses.. If you do, please post them. As far as I can see, there isn't one peer reviewed piece. Not one that proves masks stop viruses. Then, as advice from just another Nostreror, stop watching only CNN, MSNBC, CBS and the rest. They are nothing but mouthpieces for the Global Green Socialist Davos crowd. They have scared you, and want to keep you scared.
