Probably six months ago, back on Voat, I said the masks themselves were going to increase illnesses this season. Anybody with a brain can understand that every breath you exhale contains viruses and bacteria, and all that cloth mask represents is a warm, wet matrix of fibers to catch them. Mind you there won't be flu or pneumonia this winter. There will only be Covid, and the lemmings won't flinch when you point out that there have been like fucking six flu cases in 2020.
