Is the RSV virus bigger than the covid virus so that mask are effective against every flu like virus except covid? I'm guessing those that do think it protects themselves and others from spreading the flu. Just like Americans thought during Covid-19. Mostly, from recommendations from Govt. controlled agencies employing M.D.'s who put it out there to the public and people wanting to comply and blindly believing and feeling peer pressure from family and friends around them wearing masks. People will do anything to not be ostracized socially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were you not here on earth when the Covid-19 Virus infected millions of mask wearing people around the world in every country? Not every country. Not saying it was the masks, but Australia and New Zealand did a good job keeping Covid out until Omicron hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
