    I can't really picture the thought process that leads to making "masks have no effect on spreading germs from your mouth" the hill you want to die on. Surgeons have been wearing them for a century for a reason.https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-04-10/medical-face-masks-an-illustrated-history …

        Pro-mask is not pro-lockdown; nobody has to wear a mask to stay home. The mask is the ticket to *end* the lockdown. I hate wearing masks, can't see while wearing them, won't wear one just walking empty streets. But I wear it inside stores, banks, takeout places.

        Which is bonkers, and really a sign of inability to use the most basic common sense in enforcing both law & order.https://twitter.com/dgoldwas/status/1261016152257552384 …

        "won't wear one just walking empty streets" In Los Angeles, you have to wear one outside, even if you're on an empty street. Thanks @MayorOfLA!

        If you’re leaning over someone and cutting them open, you would want to wear a mask.

        You know surgeons are dealing with open wounds right? That make a difference as oppose to wearing it outside an operating room.

        I always wear a mask when I operate. Which is never.

        I pretty much said this exact thing on facebook to someone yesterday. The opposition to masks is idiotic. The recent study making the rounds, saying people can blow virus through the mask, says nothing at all about transmission risk. People refuse to hold any optimism.

        If they do help, then why aren't we free to go back to work and live our lives? I mean, we can just wear masks, right?
