The question is not if masks work but if we want them to work. If masks work than it is irresponsible to wear them when you are not around members of a high risk group. The only way to get through this pandemic is to achieve herd immunity while shielding the vulnerable. The longer it takes to achieve herd immunity and then get back to normal, the more people will die because of all the unintended consequences caused by the various unreasonable regulations imposed by the government. (Postponed surgeries, suicides and drug overdoses at home, and poverty, starvation and a lack of healthcare in the developing world.)

I see what you mean, but I still think only people who have symptoms should be considering being responsible to wear a mask to avoid expelling their sickness to some degree. If it was as deadly as the media was claiming, and was demonstrable, then I would try anything to not die, but that's not the case. Herd immunity is desired indeed.
