@Furthering You are right. Masking is not easy for all the reasons you describe. However, when we compare the certain, personal impact of masking versus the chance and impact of contracting #COVID then masking comes in as the “easy” choice on that basis alone. The problem is that people are terrible at risk assessment and often biased towards preferred outcomes. So they underestimate the risk of getting COVID and the infection is said to be “not so bad” despite the evidence.
