Sometimes I wonder if you don't know or don't want to know that we don't wear face masks everywhere so that even if they work, we can obviously still infect each other as much except for where we wear them. 

But just because we have increasing numbers now doesn't mean that face masks didn't prevent numbers to be even higher. 

We have like 1400 new infection in one slaughterhouse alone. People who all live together in some fucked up buildings. And refugees don't run around with face masks in their accommodations and so on...

But that doesn't mean that the chance that I infect other people in a grocery store isn't smaller if I have a face mask so that I don't spit on other people while talking.

It's just one small part to fight Covid and it's also not a big deal to wear a mask for such a short time per week. 

But it is accurate that in Germnay face masks are mandated in shops/public transportation, that why we are comparing Germany to Denmark/norway/Finland and probably soon Sweden to see how good face masks are. Our countries are pretty similiar.

See, I would say most people who get infected get infected by family or other people you are close with for some time. But if a family member infects other family members or close friends it's easy to find all who got infected by a short time.

If I infect some guy in the bus then it will be much harder to even know that I infected that guy and that guy might infect even more until he knows that he has it.

That's why face masks make sense even if they only prevent me to infect some of those I don't know.

Most parts of Germany had very little or no new infections at all over the last week. But we had some huge outbreaks in very few areas. Like over 1500 infections in a slaughter house. That can happen and that will push the numbers a lot but it doesn't automatically mean that the whole country has bad numbers again nor does it mean that face masks don't work when almost all these infections happened between people who sit on each other the whole day.
