His information seemed to be on the right general track. ....
He makes a fair point about masks and face-fiddlers. But wouldn't putting Tabasco sauce in your Purell also do the trick?

We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in
reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by
infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community
to reduce their susceptibility
Wait a second.. that means that this (unconstitutional) mandate to wear masks is purely for political posturing, or for unsubstantiated unmitigated fear. Maybe both.
