Time to reopen the economy and stop this insanity of lock downs. If you want to wear a mask, then wear one. If you don't want to wear one, then don't. "The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use."

I am glad that in this study report that they referenced the following report -
Filtration Performance of FDA-Cleared Surgical Masks (2009)
It is an eye opener as well and not clouded by the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 political biases that are seen in some current reports.
