the great mask debate

I wear one at work because I have too. I wear one at the stores out of respect for others. I don't think they do anything I don't think they protect us or keep us from catching anything but if it makes people feel safe and its somewhat "required" then I will put one on and deal with it. But I refuse to wear one outside or in my own car or home. As soon as I walk out of the store I take it off. I know there are alot of different opinions on the matter! My opinion is yes the virus is real and yes its bad and dangerous and scary and I don't want to get it nor do I want my family friends or loved ones to get it. But I also think its being used as a source of control. Just to see how far they can push before we push back. They are using the fear of the virus to manipulate us into their control.
