"And you are doing what?"

Don't really see the point in changing anything at the moment.
If I go traveling I might wear a face mask on public transport (if masks are available), but that would be it pretty much.
Anyway, I prefer freedom over safety.
Re masks: Don't know which media you consume, but the ones I read don't say "Masks aren't working."
What I gather is that masks depending on ffp are not necessarily very effective in keeping the wearer safe. It's a matter of probability, because a) masks don't have a complete seal & b) the virus doesn't need to go directly from a carrier to you.
Masks decrease the probability of direct droplet infection through nose & mouth by 50 to 99% (depending on type of mask). But if you don't come into close contact to others, that probability is low, anyway.
"300,000 deaths from H1N1"
In the US? Wonder where you get that from. If that were true, we would see a spike in the death rate in 2009, which obviously wasn't there.
