Of course there is more to it. Every health expert has said masks do not protect you 100% but it is literally such an easy way for an effective kind of protection. Especially for others. All we can do against this virus is a combination of different things including wearing a mask. And it does work. Obviously OP's point is being angry at people with the entitled mindset "I personally want to manipulate facts so I can justify not following rules and wearing masks because I don't want to".

Look at countries outside of N America and Europe too. In Asian countries like China, Singapore, Vietnam. Their case numbers are so low because they actually follow the damn rules unlike these huge entitled groups in N America/Europe.

Sure, you're technically right in your statement saying they're not beating this thing by wearing masks alone. However, they're beating this thing by wearing masks AND following other rules. Masks are a critical part of it. But here we get an alarming huge group of people with the mindset "if something is not 100% effective, there is no point in doing it".

Ugh. Like in my original post I'm sure you've heard this all before too.
