Thanks for letting us know what discussion to be having boss. Good to hear that you’ve decided the truth.
Dude, is it really a discussion when I give you multiple new sources and reasoned arguments, and you ignore every single point I make against you? You’re dancing from one thing to another without ever actually discussing anything that doesn’t suit the story that you drew up in your first post, and that you keep pushing. Why?
Assuming you actually believe what you post, you’ve become so convinced that your story is true that another user is asking you directly what will it take to change your mind. You’ve actually replied to that: you ask for the strictest level of scientific evidence to prove that a minor inconvenience to you will help save lives and get everyone’s lives back to normal. Do you not see how disconnected that is?
There’s already strong evidence that it works, there’s very little evidence that it won’t, and there’s even less evidence that it does any lasting harm (unlike dying from Covid, or the social and economic harm of losing >40,000 adults).
New Zealand now has life basically back to normal: their pubs and restaurants are open, their kids can have birthday parties, they can stop wearing masks in public. You know what their health experts say directly contributed to that? Face masks.
because masks are mandatory.
And they’re mandatory because here, unlike in New Zealand, very many people refuse to social distance, so we all have to wear masks; except then a few people won’t wear masks and still won’t social distance, so now we all have to lockdown.
I'm concerned that we are entering coercive authoritarian political conditions under the cover of COVID. Am I alone in having that concern?
Have you considered that if we eliminate the pandemic and we’d take that power away from the government? By not helping eliminate this pandemic you’re giving the government more and more power to control what we do.
BoJo is handing out tens of millions to his buddies in direct contracts for Brexit. COVID doubling every fortnight and killing hundreds daily is the perfect cover for them because it’s an actual killer running loose. Do your part and help end this.

Personally I’m buying a couple of the ASOS masks that @ltc recommends below. Not because masks work mind you, but because masks are mandatory.
