I was originally joking, but after a little research ...

This is the Scum, though, so the quality of anything that doesn't involved silicon enhanced ladies chests is pretty dodgy at the best of times.
But if Covid is present in pooh - and it certainly is at least some of the time - then passing gas butt-naked is probably a bad idea. Underwear and suchlike should trap it though.

Luckily, walking around butt naked is already restricted in most countries.
BTW, the quality of silicone enhanced ladies is also up for discussion.

You, personally, aren't thinking.
The masks help; not to save you, but others. Sneeze in one and taste the proof.
In any infected individual, lots of copies of the virus. More copies, more faults during copying. Meaning the more hosts, the faster its evolution. And that happening in everyone infected. Can't have that.
In ten years it'd be worse than polio and the plague combined. There's too many hosts and we need to reduce that. Or live the fermi paradox.

Indeed it will catch your boogies but we've been told that the virus is so small it can go right through the mask. So, you won't be tasting much covid.

"Might".
The chance is lowered, by a lot. The snot you normally spray and contains most is caught.
That's why you need wash your hands and stop touching your eyes.

Great argument.

Because most can't fit one properly ... the odds are better with more layers, I suspect.
For the non-medical ones, if you knot the strings where they connect first, the whole thing fits better.
As for not stopping "sneezing and coughing", you're supposed to do that "into your elbow" ... the argumentative tend to skip over that part.

Every time I've been to the hospital or doctor's or dentist during the epidemic, the doctors and dentists have all been wearing double masks. Usually two different kinds. Might be because some masks are better at blocking outgoing viruses while others are better at filtering incoming ones?

I understand your frustration. Since the quality of whatever china feels like shipping is always in doubt (even the quality of the bogus 3M masks they send), you need to be sure that the primary purpose of the masking is properly accomplished - which is to capture and thereby reduce the spread of your spittle to those around you. Also useful to a degree in preventing you from inhaling theirs.
You can get an extremely high quality seal with these masks[^] - which are both inexpensive and easy to put on correctly. This will, in short order, reduce any resentment you have for not being "thanked for sharing" with others around you.

As far as I can tell the mask mandates contravene prior, peer reviewed studies showing masks outside medical situations do NOT stop airborne viruses

It still amazes me that in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie", the only spoken word in the movies was said by Marcel Marcea.

There was a wombat in Silent Movie?

Just read that wombats can weigh up to 35 kilos.
Must make a hell of a mess when they fly around the forrests in Australia?!?!?

As far as Australian wildlife is concerned, the wombats are the least of your problems.

But seriously, they can make a hell of a mess to your car if you hit them, they are basically furry rocks.

I was surprised "iff" was a Words with Friends word (scrabble game), and it got me thinking, what's the difference between "if" and "iff". Google time!
"P if Q" is a one way implication , P⟸Q
Ex: (x>2)⟸(x=5)
"P iff Q" is a two way equivalence, P⟺Q
Ex: (x−3=2)⟺(x=5)
Huh. Learned something.
So I'm sharing.

Just don't mention IIf (the anti VB folks will get in an uproar)
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

IIF is (I)mmediate IF and
iff is if and only if
Huge difference. Can't ya see. (LOL)
only poking fun. Seriously interesting though.

Why isn't "if" good enough? "if and only if" seems redundant and only redundant...

If A then B explicits that B is true when A is true, does not specify anything about state of B when A is false.
If and only if A then B means that B is true when A is true and false when A is false.
