Some have given up on masking as they think there's no point if masks can't singlehandedly eradicate a virus (a right wing talking point). What they're missing is that higher risk people can't even get healthcare due to a lack of masking. Masks make essential spaces accessible.
SARS‑CoV‑2 is highly transmissible and we don't have a sterilizing vaccine. People can't mask 24/7, so it's unfair to expect masks alone to contain that spread everywhere. But masks can help contain spread in specific spaces like healthcare settings. That makes masks worth it.

Adequate ventilation is also a missing piece of the puzzle as it can't easily be shifted into an "individual's responsibility" narrative like masking, social distancing and vaccination can. We saw what lack of this in schools did though and how that contributed to surges in the general population.

LisPi@Blort @luckytran @Permacultureandpolitics We also saw the difference even just DIY-ing the matter with consumer portable air purifiers in schools did (massive reduction of cases).
