plenty of studies prove masks DO NOT WORK .. and none proving they do.

Yet, whenever you visit a hospital (even before covid19), the doctors and nurses wear masks to not unnecessarily infect their patients. In medicine it has been known for ages, that masks do work.

Now before you come at me and say that "the virus is so tiny that it gets through the masks", yes, you are right about the particle sizes, but what you don't get is that most of the particles you breath, cough or sneeze will still get trapped in the mask, along with the rest of your moist breath and mucus.

It is the reducing of that freely airborne viral matter that actually works. It might not be 100% effective, but it is still better than not wearing a mask at all.

Oh, and the rest of the post was mostly just political.

We do not all live in the USA, but we can all attest that this virus is for real, and it appears to be killing people more than enough to be a real concern.
