Statistical hard evidence that they don't make any significant difference in who gets infected and who doesn't abounds. And it should come as no surprise to anyone with a brain. Read the label on the packaging of those little blue masks for Smurf wannabes. "Not For Medical Use", "Does Not Provide Protection From Disease Or Viruses", etc., etc., etc. Apparently when every elected official was handing out immunity from civil suits to everybody and their brother who may spread the disease, they left out the mask makers. Which is, ironically to me, only fitting from my perspective since they're wearing masks made in China to "protect" them from a disease made in China. Besides that they don't seal well AT ALL and they are made from material that might block something as large as sawdust. But they're not even suitable for spraying paint! The absolute dumbest thing I've read is that some elected official from, to the best of my recollection, some city in Pennsylvania wanted to mandate wearing two masks, There's some real logic for you… If one mask does absolutely nothing to protect you, two masks will do absolutely nothing twice as good. The only masks made that might be partially effective are true N95 surgical masks, but remember, they were designed to keep cut open patients from having the surgeon's exhaled everything out of the patient's cut open body. And, as a side note, a KN95 mask just doesn't cut it either, they're made in foreign lands (hence the "K" in their name) mostly, you got it, China. And another side note, masks should be disposed of the moment you take one off. Otherwise all those little virus critters can catch a ride on the inside of the mask and as your mouth and nose are their only escape routes, well… So long, been good to know ya! And now the moral of the story… Wouldn't the government have been better off (assuming an N95 is the only effective mask) supplying each and every person a free (well not really "free" since the government gets the money from us hence I said "the money", not "their money", their money is OUR money) supply of N95s to keep businesses open, schools open, life open and of course tax revenue pouring in as opposed to killing businesses, robbing citizen's savings, and sending out "stimulus" checks.
