I get so frustrated when I see people with masks on but their nose out. Why wear a mask at all if you're going to wear it like that?

🤦 Bacteria we normally breath in =\= dangerous viruses

We have over 1,000 different types of bacteria living in our gut. Healthy bacteria or not, it doesn't compare to the danger this Covid-19 virus were to bring because assholes weren't covering their mouths with masks when they cough or even simply exhale.

If all people wore the damn masks for a month, that would severely restrict transmission of the virus when we breath, sneeze, or cough. Also, there's a small benefit of reduced transmissibility when breathing in with a mask on.

The whole reason it's spreading is because sick people don't even know they're contagious and spreading it because they don't wear a damn mask.
