No masks
 

There is no definitive evidence that masks help more than hinder people from getting COVID. Almost everyone I see doesn’t wear the masks properly. They are constantly fidgeting with them, only have them over their mouth, have them dangling from one ear, or are putting them on and taking them off repeatedly throughout the day. Obviously they are exposing people and even themselves as they touch other things and then touch their faces. 

Another reason is that many people who wear masks during their required times of work have had terrible headaches and haven’t been able to perform their duties properly. 

Finally, even if we all wore masks, goggles, gloves, and full head and body coverings, we would still not be able to eliminate disease. The  psychological, physical, and financial damages far outweigh any benefits.
