New Research Supports Masks in Winter
Mask mandates are unpopular. I don’t know anyone who enjoys wearing a mask. Surgeons wear them to avoid infecting surgery patients. Robbers wear them to avoid identification. Masks became political. Liberals who favor collective outcomes support mask mandates while conservatives who favor personal freedom do not. Today in stores I see a few people wearing masks, mostly just a few older people. It always amuses me when a car drives by and the driver — the sole occupant — is wearing a mask.
