    #Masks work? YES! And even though cases/hospitalizations are increasing, we can control #COVID19 by wearing masks when we can't distance, avoiding crowds especially indoors, good hygiene, and smart testing of contacts and to identify/isolate those asymptomatic but infectious

        People have to wear masks correctly for them to be effective.

        No they don't. In fact they are dangerous and the National Institute of Health said so in 2005. Additionally the way most people use their masks, wearing the same one for weeks at a time and digging it out dirty pockets is a recipe for disasterhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/ …

        These refer to a particular kind of mask. Also, I love how conservatives cite experts whenever they can find a narrow exception, but hate the experts whenever they largely agree on something.
