Masking the Problem

    I don't want to get into a mask debate on Facebook because, for the sake of the nonbelievers who see my posts, it is more important to be light than be right. So I will post this here where there are only about three readers to be offended. Covid numbers are spiking in many places around the globe and laying all the blame on non-maskers is masking the real problem. Many people who have not worn masks from the beginning of Covid are only now becoming infected, as are many people who have worn masks from the beginning. Cases are spiking even in countries where wearing masks, staying home and quarantines have been enforced by martial law for months. I believe most of us are masking when and where required, yet the spike continues.

     I know health officials do not want to do anything to discourage mask wearing, but I wish some would have the courage to admit there is more to the spread than mass mask defection. Something about the virus has changed. There are no experts on Covid 19, not even epidemiologists, it is a new disease. But there is a lot of data being compiled and research going on, and those findings should not be suppressed if they do not fit the mainstream narrative. Even if the spikes are due to factors we cannot control, it is better to expose the problem than to mask it.
