You guys do realize that .gov trying social engineering BS and appropriate masks working as PPE are not mutually exclusive, right?
Granted, acting like having the general population wear cloth spider-man masks will help is rather ridiculous, but some of you guys are acting like respiratory PPE is some kind of voodoo.
Saying "masks" don't prevent the transmission of covid-19 is no less ignorant than saying "masks" do stop the transmission of covid-19.
Without appropriate qualifiers, both statements are false.
