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.

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.
