Some how wearing a mask has become a political thing in many ways. When people started making the decision of wearing a mask or not political is became extremely mainstream to pick one side or the other.

The first side is the mask wearing side. People who wear masks have been sort of sided with the Democratic Party. Wearing a mask has be proven to help decrease the spread of the Coronavirus. The blue mask (the surgical mask) its most commonly used by people in public. This mask is said to decrease your odds of getting the coronavirus by around twenty percent. It is now recommended that you wear two masks. Which also decreases those odds of infection as well.  People who wear these masks correctly and all the time can expect that twenty percent decrease of infection. Covid cases had been on the rise for many weeks but now are seeming to drop. People as the virus has progressed have seemed to have gotten relax on wearing masks. Despite how masks have been proven to help. Masks may not be one hundred percent, but It will help us to have less covid cases, and less covid deaths.
