Why we should wear masks

The decision to wear a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic has become more of a political issue than a safety issue. A lot of Americans are very stubborn and do not want to be forced to wear a mask, especially by the government. According to the CDC if a face mask is worn correctly it can reduce viral transmission by around 75%. The CDC also states that around 50% of transmission is caused before people even start to show symptoms. Even if you don’t care about getting the virus think about others. On average there are around 4000 deaths daily. Around 200,000 people are infected with the disease in just America every day. Overall these masks have saved people from catching the virus and many other things such as the common cold, Flu, Strep, etc.
