In other words, there is no reason that people who have already to been infected and recovered to wear a fucking mask.The science....says that you can get reinfected from a different strain of Covid---even though you have had one of the strains and recovered.

Why do they disregard, ignore, and distort science so damn much? lol
Thus far..it appears to be rare.
One of the many fears surrounding Covid-19 is whether you can catch it again. The answer is yes, it appears so. A team of researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno, are examining the case of a patient who came down with Covid-19 twice, which would be the first identified reinfection in the United States. This news comes on the heels of the first documented case worldwide—a patient in Hong Kong, according to The New York Times.
The Nevada man, a resident of Washoe County, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the Covid-19 infection) in April. He recovered and subsequently tested negative twice. Forty-eight days later in June, he tested positive again, and further analysis revealed that the virus DNA was different between his two infections. This suggests he was reinfected by a mutated strain of the virus.
Given the potential devastation caused by Covid-19—and the worry that there will be a second coronavirus wave—everyone from experts to people on the street hoped that a Covid-19 infection would trigger antibodies that would protect people, ideally for an extended amount of time. Now that seems less likely.
"This news doesn't surprise me," says Sandra Kesh, MD, deputy medical director at Westmed Medical Group in Purchase, New York. "Covid would have been the first virus in history to not mutate, and we knew at the outset that this wasn't going to be the case,"
The tricky aspect of respiratory viruses like the novel coronavirus is that they tend to evolve quickly.
Can You Get Covid Twice? What Reinfection Cases Really Mean
Does getting Covid-19 prevent you from getting it again? How well and for how long people are protected by an immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus will affect transmission of the virus and shape the course of the pandemic. Although some research shows reinfection is rare, especially among...www.bloomberg.com
A tracker maintained by the Dutch news agency BNO News had recorded 24 cases globally as of Oct. 16. The first confirmed case, a 33-year-old man from Hong Kong, was reported in August. He’d tested positive in March with mild symptoms of Covid-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, and had two negative tests a few weeks later. Four and a half months after the first event, he tested positive again, although he had no symptoms. The only known person to have died from a case of reinfection was an 89-year-old Dutch woman, who was also undergoing chemotherapy treatment for a rare white blood cell cancer.
Rand Paul is 100% correct.
And there is absolutely no justification to mandate masks or social distancing for people who already had COVID 19.
