I didn’t think they said masks don’t work, but rather: a. Masks mostly help people who are infected to not spread it widely (by catching their respiratory droplets, presumably). b. There’s a global shortage and doctors and nurses really need them. All I’ve been hearing locally is of course they help - hence the medical professionals need them - but that they don’t make as big of a difference if you’re a healthy person out in the world of mostly uninflected individuals, so please don’t buy any and let the doctors and nurses have them instead.
