Here is an August 3rd, 2021 Naval Station San Diego picture of a lone sailor on the bridge wing and sailors working on the fo'c's'le outside wearing masks.
No idea what the Navy's actual policy is but study after study has made it clear that cloth masks are not only ineffective they may do just the opposite. Toss in being outside and I just shake my head.
You don't have to go much further to know our military has jumped the shark and gone full woke. Why does the military conduct studies if their not going to use the knowledge learned?
Unless these men and women are hiding N95 or N100 respirators under those black masks, not touching them and regularly changing them out they are being duped into thinking they are safe from Covid-19.
So much has been done wrong during COVID it's beyond belief. From those with natural immunity still being "required" to get vaccinated with an experimental authorized use vaccine to seemingly being required to wear masks outside when the science is so one-sided is just stupid.
I don't fully understand what is going on but if I had to guess our military "leaders" are making decisions that they know are wrong but will result in the lowest possiblity of blow back on them. If sailors wear masks for the next two years and the only downside is leadership being mocked it's a win. If they don't wear masks and a single death is attributed to their policy they could be court martialed.
