and we're not talking about nurses touching shit, we're talking about some dude coughing shit across the room the few minutes you share a supermarket with him and possibly getting it this way.
you are aware that by that logic there's no point in coughing and sneezing into your elbow either, right?
useless at what? "stopping" the virus? no one claims that. useless at changing the dispersion pattern? if it's useless why does air get around the edges and not through it then?
>using fauci as reference
guess it's ok when he says what you want. but then did you actually read what he wrote? "it might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you". after pointing out who should wear a mask AND why he doesn't recommend her wearing one in that particular case.
yes, the mask shit is annoying but holy shit you people need to get a grip. you're becoming the kind of guy ripping off a surgeon's mask when he's operation on you, because fauci said they're useless after all...
