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.
He also probably can't come right out and say "half the people that come in here are bat shit crazy / brainwashed and are at risk of getting violent if they see someone without a mask in here"
