But they don't do that either. Touching and fiddling with them
contaminates your hands, you then touch stuff, they are a waste of time
and she has not got the wrong end of the stick at all.

I have seen people wearing the exact same type of paper masks worn by
surgeons, they are, and I repeat, useless for any task in the public arena.

You carry on believing what you want, and so will I. When you show me
your medical qualifications and your expertise in disease control, I
might, just might, take notice of you.
A further point that you may not be aware of the *majority* of masks
that you see people wearing become ineffective after a few minutes due
to the moisture expelled from the wearer, and microscopic droplets will
pass straight through as if it's not there.
