I'm not what there is to believe in mask effectiveness?

There are studies about it.

You don't get infected with COVID just because it's a mix of your own immune reaction, the amount of particles etc.

A mask is really easy to wear and reduces your risk.

I'm not advocating for mask mandates at this point or let's say I don't care about it but if you want to reduce the risk of having COVID while on holiday, I would suggest trying to wear a mask.

Independently of it, in Germany the hospitalization is currently high and plenty of personal is sick. I still don't want to be in a situation of having something really bad and having to be in a hospital right now.

There are studies about it and from what I’ve seen the surgical mask does not show enough impact to say that it clearly helps. The tests of how much the material can filter are irrelevant if everyone is wearing with massive gaps around their faces that let the air go out unfiltered anyway.

Yeah I do ignore those.

They are nice to wear for this reason.

But when I'm wearing them I do have a proper mask.
