Had a conversation with a nurse last night (not in a hospital). Got her onto the subject of face masks. She hates them. She agreed that they do nothing.
I asked her how many doctors and nurses in her hospital does she think really know that the face masks do nothing at all.
She said, "They all know. They're just lying about it."
Yep.
The masks do help by keeping your hands away from your face and slow the velocity of a cough or sneeze. If you think it will stop any virus from penetrating through the mask material, then I got a chain link fence that stops mosquitos to sell you.
Id say no to keeping hands away from your face. Have you noticed how many times people are adjusting their masks. If anything they cause you to touch and adjust many times per hour.
I agree. I think more than anything this is spread through hand contact. And being forced to wear dirty ass freaking masks.
