If the estimates from Statista Consumer Marketing Research are accurate, from 2020 to 2022 the world bought 928 billion masks at a cost of $389 billion. With a world population of 8 billion, that’s 116 masks for every man, woman, and child on Planet Earth — most of them made of plastic and mandated by the same left-wingers who ban straws and plastic shopping bags.
