You likely know dozens if not more people that had it. Singapore study that came out last week identified half the population is likely immune to it based on sampling.

First, here is a National Institute of Health study summary of N95 and Surgical masks' effectiveness with stopping the inhalation of H1N1 (Swine Flu) viruses.

In Pennsylvania, it shows an R-0 of 1.04.
That means that at current rate of transmission, one person will transmit it to 4 one hundredths of a person, right?
Sounds horrifying, pretty sure we are all going to die of COVID within a few days.

This is the SECOND time this has come up and both times the OP didn't read or understand what the study says.
Then you should set the record straight instead of assassinating OP.

Lucky if i put on a cloth mask to make all the Karen's happy. Just watching general public and walmart employee's proves to me masks are pointless. They keep messing with them, they pull them off/on, use the same mask, they only wear them if in public view.
Once you know the actual reasoning for the mask, you will then understand why its helpful.
this may help you understand should you care to watch it

Ok yea, if those are such cool benefits surely you would have already been wearing one your whole adult life until 2020.

I would be so impressed with that video if we were just dealing with people standing withing 6 feet of someone outside of a building.
But when you are talking about a building full of offices with a central air conditioning system that recycles the air, basically making sure that the air that someone else exhaled within the last few minutes gets back to you several times inside an hour... it is a joke.
How do we know if a sneeze was covered in that video? Sneezes expel particles in excess of 100 mph out of the nose and mouth.
Most of the masks that I see in public, even when worn as correctly as possible, have huge gaps at the nose and cheeks. The masks are a joke.
In April, a co-workers father got COVID, in two weeks, he was dead. He had several co-morbidities. The son was with him in a pickup truck for a long ride the day before he went to the hospital. The man's wife lived with him and slept in the same bed with him. No one else in the family got sick.
If it is such a dangerous virus and so communicable, why the hell do I only know one person that has had it , when I live in what I am told is one of the harder hit counties in PA? WTH didn't anyone else close to him get sick? All this, before we were wearing masks.
