we do not need masks
I don't think there is a one size fits all answer to the question of whether or not we should use masks but rather it is wholly dependent upon the conditions involved.
If the potential user happens to be strong, in good health, and otherwise is capable of practicing social distancing and good hygiene, right on, they are surely less likely to need one, especially in this time of there being a shortage.
But that assumes good health etc., whereas conversely someone like those with COPD may be way more vulnerable in that they are much more likely to have a bad outcome if they do contact COVID-19, and have already been advised by their doctors to wear one.
And then, even just now, in the last half hour in a conference call with Tusli Gabbard and several state officials when a caller asked what is the dangers of doing their laundry in a public laundromat the rep from Hawaii Health Systems said if you have to be in a space for that long he would strongly recommend that everyone, at any level age health etc., wear a mask. He didn't hem and haw.. it was clear. Wear a mask.
Ain't that always the case? I don't believe there is ever a one size fits all answer in nature. Every situation is unique. Why would this be otherwise?
