Why not both though? Before we find treatments and cures, masks save lives and this is a fact. And it’s the only thing we know works for sure so far.
Otherwise this is like a gunshot victim with diabetes coming into the ER and the doctors focus on the diabetes.

Cures are unlikely any time soon. We only have effective cures for a tiny number of viral diseases. Waiting for a cure is unreasonable.
