    The vaccine is not enough, we need to be masking again.

    Reminder, masks you keep you from infecting other people. You need a face shield to keep from getting infected.

      Yes masks do help prevent a covid carrier from infecting others.

      Are you suggesting that wearing a mask doesn’t help protect you from being infected by others? Why’s that?

        I’m suggesting that if you’re going to wear a mask, you might as well wear a face shield as well. A lot of people accidentally spit while talking. A mask doesn’t prevent getting infected from spit/micro droplets that land in your eyes. There was a 30% reduction in infection rates from people who wear eyeglasses and those don’t even protect from the sides. Half measures aren’t enough.
