1.) I wear a mask to protect me FROM You AND OR to protect YOU from me.

2.) After 1 year, we need to have found masks that are comfortable and fit.

3.) The author is not a scientist or MD.****

4.) The epidemiologist she quoted from UCSF is not working full-time on COVID19 transmission or abatement.****

5.) I realized one day going out to my apartment complex laundry room that breathing and or speaking and or singing produces a " mist" of airborne saliva that literally floats on the air.

6.) You can get full-blown COVID19 after being fully vaccinated.

7.) The author's argument is poorly timed since infections and death rates are plateauing and or rising, especially in some of our larger urban areas.

8.) Covid19 protocols are something everyone can have a different opinion on, but the science, infection rates and deadly virus with no known widely affordable cure and no free readily available rapid testing are available.

9.)You can be asymptomatic and or vaccinated and still spread the virus.

10.) An unintended consequence of mask wearing may be a non- epidemic flu outbreak. We need to be assessing the efficacy of people in cities, medical facilities ( especially Urgent Care and hospitals and doctors offices) wearing masks all the time. Let's start a national conversation and make this list "go viral" all the way to the W.H.O., CDC, NIH and DR. Fauci.
