If this was true, every person in Germany would be dead right now. I’m not even sure their language has vowels.
But I’m sure this is the reason we have more cases, not because we have a bunch of dipshits not wearing a mask because of their “personal freedom,” or because we have even bigger dipshits intentionally spreading misinformation about masks because they think they can use it as a political wedge issue.
The reason we have more cases is that no matter what you or the government attempts to do, stopping the spread of a common corona respiratory virus is futile. We can slow it down with some measures, but eventually everyone is going to be exposed to it, and most probably already have. Keeping viral loads low will reduce the number of severe infections but freaking out over healthy adults is not science. Asymptomatic spread is not the main driver of a pandemic, it is extremely rare.
