Let's hope Covid is "just" respiratory droplets and not aerosol.
Most likely if it was a true aerosol spreader we would be seeing many, many more cases than we have. That seems to be the general feeling on it. Nobody is ruling it out for occasional spread but it doesn't appear to be the primary mode. That could change as more studies are done.

I wear a mask when I’m around others - grocery store, work, etc. Got a gaiter with a filter. It’s a minor inconvenience and seems sensible.

Masks are the worst. I don’t know if I have inner ear issues or what but wearing a mask becomes painful to the back of my left ear some days. Additionally, I wear glasses and the recycled carbon dioxide is too much. It’s slightly painful, extremely difficult to manage with glasses, and a huge inconvenience. 17 masks and the ***** they rode in on. Most of y’all gave no clue and can throw a mask on with no worries, but it’s been a big nuisance more than I can adequately articulate.
I've worn a mask every work day, sometimes for hours at a time, for the last 30+ years. I've worn glasses, safety glasses at first then prescription, for every one of those days. Ever since I started needing prescription glasses to work I've worn a face shield too. Now that we have to wear an N95 we also have to wear a surgical mask over it to protect it from splatter (you still can't get enough N95s not to have to reuse them) . It's not a big thing. You just learn to do it. You do NOT recycle enough CO2 to make any difference at all by the way, not even in that get up. That is a a total myth.

So, you assume he's lying? Do you assume that everyone's experience with wearing a mask is the same as yours? Serious questions there.

Yes, it has. It absolutely reduces your risk of catching it, even a cloth mask helps.

Lol. The data changed on being outside in large groups as long as it was for a protest too (per the cdc). The data will continually change in whatever direction a certain group wants it to change.
