Why should I limit my freedoms due to your unnecessary fear? How about, the people I’m supposed to be protecting, THEY STAY INSIDE. Woaaahh what a concept!

If 1000 people get infected without masks. Death rate of 1% is 10 deaths.
70% reduction is 300 infections with masks. Death rate of 1% is 3 deaths.
That is a 70% reduction is deaths. Pro-tip: Look up the commutative property of multiplication.
