minus-squareilli@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·2 years agoOk, in this context you are right in spiritt. Masks are stoping tje spread, but in the grand scheme of things it is mostly about slowing it down. However I don’t think saying the masks do nothing is right at all. Masks are still useful.
