So, it does have to be a mask that will actually protect you.
If you didn't pay, a pretty steep price at the time, for the right mask (like something that will protectv you from paint fumes) then you were wasting your time.
Source: When I mask up I use N95's. I use best judgement, haven't gotten covid. Not too late to protect yourself. I don't think I'll be able to keep it up forever, but I'm banking on new vaccines kicking covids ass.
So "masks" don't work. Specific masks work. No one was mandating n95 masks it was all those shitty paper ones then acting like that was sufficient.
