There is no evidence masks work and they may actually increase spread. Feel free to move to China where they take the kind of measures you seem to want including welding people into their buildings to die of starvation. Oh and by the way those measures didn’t work either because it is a virus that is spread in the community. I guess if you nuked every hot spot you might make some progress....
Transcript of internal debate at the CDC:
Fauci: Hey, guess what? We did it! We finally forced them all to wear masks!
Redfield: You’re kidding?
Birx: No f**king way!
Adams: Even POTUS?
Fauci: Yes, even POTUS, he finally caved!
Birx: Cool! So Tony, what do we do now?
Fauci: First I think I’ll show up at a baseball game NOT wearing one, just so I can lord it over everybody how we are the ones who are really superior to them.
Redfield: That would be AWESOME! But once you’ve done that what are we ever going to do to top this?
Fauci: That’s easy....goggles! Face shields!
Adams: ooooooh....I like the way you think Tony!
Fauci: Twelve hours after I’m done giving my interview to
CNN the lawn and garden shelves at Home Depot are
gonna look like the toilet paper section at Target
in April.
Birx: If we can make them wear masks AND shields, why, we
can make them wear ANYTHING!
Fauci: Yes, indeed. Ankle bracelets, cowboy hats,
those silk disco shirts that went out of style in 1979, handcuffs lined with fur...
Adams: Ballgags? Please please PLEASE can we do ballgags?
Fauci: No, Jerome, no one would ever see them under the
masks.
Redfield: I know....let’s make them wear their underwear
on the OUTSIDE! I saw that one in a movie once.
It was hilarious!
Birx: I don’t know. Wearing my bra on the outside? The
Playtex Pretty Petite #304 clashes with most of my
scarves.
Fauci: All in favor.....
Do you actually bother to consult the medical literature before making such blanket statements? Many researchers have been examining the efficacy of face masks, and I'm sure that quite a few of them would disagree with that statement. Of course, what do they know--they're only medical researchers, and I already know that you dismiss us as a bunch of know-nothings simply because the majority of medical researchers are not trained in patient care. Out of politeness, I'll refrain from mentioning that my opinion of non-research trained MDs is that you are nothing but a bunch of glorified technicians.
If you put links to valid medical references that support your contention, I will look at them. But if all you can do is make blanket statements without any supporting documentation or evidence, then I'll just dismiss it. For your consideration:
And many other articles, including some that indicate that wearing eye protection along with a mask is even more effective.
