Folks, I don't think the good doctor is saying "don't wear masks." I think she's saying don't treat them like a magical cloak of invisibility to #COVID19. Understand what they do and don't do, how you're supposed to use them, and that they're imperfect shields. Same with gloves.

I agree with her. But, my concern is the anti-mask messaging has been so strong for so long that the highly qualified recommendations are further discouraging. In America, people are reluctant to wear masks and need encouragement to do soemthing they..

Don’t actually want to do. I believe there are clearer and more affirmative ways to say masks protect other people from you. Stay home! But if you must go out, wear a mask. If there is a benefit to mask wearing, it occurs at a higher level of compliance.

Your thread represents my feelings exactly.

Having started wearing masks, can confirm (personally): masks are embarrassing. They do not encourage wild social outings. Wearing a mask encouraged me to get in and get out of the grocery store quickly.

I keep seeing MDs concerned about a “false sense of security” but I haven’t seen evidence to support this phenomena. Wearing a mask is abnormal in our county. I wonder if wearing a mask does more to remind folks these are not ordinary times.

Exactly. It drives me crazy when people take a nuanced message and turn it into a simple phrase. She just doesn’t want people to think they can wear a mask and life will return to normal.

Better than nothing, though, which is always what I suspected.

Her words are discouraging people from wearing masks, so dangerous advice.

Only if your reading comprehension is bad since what she's doing is literally advising people on the safest use if they *must* go out.
