I don't think masks are the end all be all 100% effective thing to stop the spread of covid.

But...if better options existed for people going out and about, we'd be using them, as long as they were as feasible as wearing a mask, which is simple.

Certainly they help to some extent, or else, if they were completely useless I doubt we'd be told to use them large scale.

In my personal life, I HATE wearing a mask, but I would never dream of going into somebody elses house and intentionally not following their rules. And, I have to wear a mask for 7-8 hours a day myself so certainly people can do it for much smaller, intermittent, amounts of time. If I don't want to wear a mask, I don't do the activity, and I also don't complain. If I want to do the thing enough, or it is essential(groceries) I wear it without complaining.

I limit the number of activities I do that require a mask so I don't have to wear one. Whatever bullshit I would be doing before I've replaced with walks at the park/woods that I don't need a mask for and can easily socially distance while doing.
