Not an expert, and have no idea what I am talking about

My understanding is that it is a variant of 1. Masks probably do help, but the general population would not use them correctly. Anecdotally, I saw this a lot going to the grocery store yesterday. For example, people were constantly fidgeting with their masks and removing the masks to talk to other people.

You know why this is BS, cause you can easily train people to properly use a mask. And maybe if the government would have trained people through PSA early on, on how to properly use a mask, change gloves, etc. this pandemic wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is. Instead they told everyone, hey everything is fine, just wash your hands and don't touch your face.
