"Masked Sarcasm
Several of my family members and friends have/are working at hospitals and they’re all having a good hearty laugh at people who say masks doesn’t work."

It depends on what the mask is supposed to do. In the hospital it is to keep one from being exposed to infectious body fluids. In the natural environment it is supposed to keep viruses out. Clear empirical evidence now shows that the mask is meaningless for casual wear. The NEJM recently published a strong controlled study showing that mask wearing increased chances of a positive test result, which just make sense if you think about it, and the opposite result from what we have been having drummed into us. There is no “science” that supports mask use among the general population.
Masks don’t work to keep out viruses or to keep them contained. Using a mask against a virus is like being shot at and taking cover behind a chain link fence. It is the size of the particles that matter.
Masks do work to protect against bacteria being exhaled by hospital staff during surgeries and other similar procedures but the patients were rarely masked. How many masks did you ever see being worn by hospital staff under normal circumstances before this insanity?
“Several of my family members and friends have/are working at hospitals and they’re all having a good hearty laugh at people who say masks doesn’t work.”
Perhaps you ought to pass along these links to articles by real scientists who seem to disagree with your “friends and family working at hospitals”
Read these, they make your friends look sort of foolish.

Masks DON’T work in hospitals, unless they are fitted masks with gloves and other protective gear. And you need to change your gloves and masks regularly.
They are worn to prevent blood getting in the wearer’s mouth, or to prevent snot or mucous from dripping on the patient. If there is a significant risk, then strict procedures are in place along with fitted masks and otehr protective gear.
Lots of studies were done before the Chinavirus and before masks became a political magic talisman. None showed surgical masks prevented viral infections in EITHER direction.
Nurses entering a room with a flu patient don’t put on a surgical mask to do so.
No folks are more brainwashed and fearful than the health care industry folks. They have been subject to mind control for many years, by their medical industry overlords. They are putty in their hands.
