Nah, not applcable in the sense computers, air waves or anything to do with modern tech has anything to do with it...its a virus... Maybe some ppl don't want to face the truth they even with all our smarts and technology that a simple one celled organism can bring us to our knees, so they want to think its a new thing...truth is its the same as the plague of the middle ages, and every plague before and after...a new virus that hits the right, overly populated, place and spreads like wildfire.. The perfect storm kinda thing
I don't think masks are here to stay, its not our culture or way...( anyways, this started in the one place where everybody does wear masks and it didn't help much, soooo) , and gloves, omg, I've seen ppl wearing glovves and yet still talking on their cell phones, lol...ever heard of cross contamination ppl??? Besides, we are too prone to lawsuits which ties law enforcements hands, that's why we arent as restrictive or controlled like say China..police can't be as brutal or hands on here...and when the criminal element realizes if everyone is wearing masks it is almost impossible to catch them by witness or camera capture...not gonna be good for law enforcement..no I dont see masks lasting too long or being mandatory just because of our criminal side of our society.
