I’m from an industrial background where masks are used to prevent people from inhaling stuff. It took me a while to realize that with covid the intend is to prevent an infected person from spreading it rather than to prevent infection by those around you. If a person is asymptomatic o mildly symptomatic they can spread the virus and the mask is to reduce that spread. It also helps to protect you from infection but the big benefit is to keep it from spreading.
If unchecked the virus has an R factor some where around 6 and the curve rises exponentially. When people use masks and act responsibly the curve goes down which means the R factor is reduced to less than 1 and will eventually disappear. That’s proof that masks and hand washing works
If you think masks don’t work tell that to the surgeon next time you’re in for an operation. Tell him masks don’t work and not to bother to wear one and not to bother washing his hands. Listen to what he says.
Wearing a mask is being respectful of those around you and shows your intelligence. Not wearing a mask is being selfish. Be a responsible adult and wear a mask
It bears repeating
Wearing masks and washing hands works.
