Everyone, including Flylady, agree that no masks, except medical devices, provide little, if any, protection for the user. The masks are for the protection of others.

People who choose not to wear masks have no increased risk to themselves but they are putting others at risk because the no-mask wearers may be sick and not know it. People who do not feel sick are able to transmit the virus to others.

This is not opinion. These are facts supported by almost everyone who knows the science.

Most situations in which people stand up for their principles do so at some risk to themselves. And this is admirable.

This is one of those times when each has to decide which principles are worth OTHERS dying for.
